tshwanes street lights repairs undone by theft mayor vows to continue fight against crime

The City of Tshwane has made notable strides in improving service delivery, particularly in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria.

In the past month alone, the city repaired around 1,000 street lights in the area.

However, according to Tshwane Mayor Cilliers Brink, the efforts have faced significant setbacks.

'The Soshanguve region lights were fixed, and the following day, they were not working, and cables were also stolen,' Brink reported, highlighting the persistent issue of vandalism and theft that undermines progress.

Brink, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Nasiphi Moya and Tshwane MMC of Utilities and regional operations and coordination Themba Fosi, visited Aubrey Matlala Street in Soshanguve to address these challenges directly and to assist in clearing illegal dumping sites.
