Earlier this month, GroundUp reported that streetlights in Tafelsig in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, were out of order due to damaged and stolen cables, leaving the suburb in darkness at night and in the early morning. Many streetlights had been out of order for more than a year.
"It's so much better because you can see who is walking in the area at night," said Tafelsig Neighbourhood Watch council member Christine Claassen. She said they have seen an uptick in the number of police vans patrolling."Over the weekend, there were about 12 vans in the area driving up and down. So I hope that things will get better as time goes on."
