Die ekonomie gaan ten gronde. If the scrapyard didn't buy any copper, there will no money for the person that stole it. That is the only way to stop them.

Crime is rampant with no visible evidence of anything bring done about it, especially second hand dealers that will turn a blind eye when purchasing items knowing they were likely stolen

The scrapmetal dealers should be investigated. They smile all the way to the bank whilst they are the culprits who initiate the stealing of cables, any scrap etc. Stealers burn the cables outside the dealers' premises which is obvious that it is stolen goods. Where are the police inspectors which are supposed to inspect the scrap dealers?? The dealers transport their scrap metal on a unworthy vehicle which drives to Gauteng during the night, heavy overloaded.

Copper theft destroys out economy. For as long as the market to buy secondhand scrap metals is allowed to operate, our economy, private and public infrastructure is in danger. Innocent Lives are also lost in a process of robbing valuable metals for scrap metal by criminals
