Metal theft is rife, particularly electric cable and they also steal motorway barriers and manhole covers. Every week, if not more often, electric cable gets stolen. This has caused the Gautrain to shut down on more than one occasion. Cable is also stolen from the electricity grid, and the fuddy ruckers usually steal the neutral cable causing the voltage to surge up to 400 volts. Affected consumers lose a lot of appliances as a result. Just recently a cable thief was electrocuted and ended up hanging from the electricity pole for all to see for several hours. Unfortunately, they are so stupid that death isn't an effective deterrent.
