Lentswe, Stilfontein - A group of men, allegedly illegal miners, were detained when they attempted to steal internet cables. According to Cllr Pieter du Preez, a local private investigator confronted the group of Basothos overnight at the intersection of Stilfontein Road and Breede Street, and action was taken early Wednesday morning, November 5. 
The group tried to steal cables underground after fibre has been installed and the cables were no longer in use. The copper thieves were arrested at around 03:00, while others fled.

Lentswe, Klerksdorp - For over a month, a business in Uraniaville has been operating in near-total darkness, with nothing except promises from the Matlosana Municipality still keeping their doors open. The ordeal for business owner Aldurette Booysen began on September 29. “Since the power cables were stolen here, we have been without electricity.” For 36 days, what followed has been a case study in frustration. Booysen describes a futile cycle of communication: “After many reports, WhatsApp messages, phone calls, and conversations... only a few poles, holes on our property, and a piece of cable have shown up. Not a person in sight.”
