Copper cable theft worries SAPP

The working group was set up with a primary role of preventing theft of SAPP equipment. Senior managers of power utilities from the regional bloc were meeting in Gaborone to discuss common criminal activities in the power sector and come up with mitigating solutions to address these threats.

The Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) corporate manager (safety, health and environment and security) Joseph Phalalo told Mmegi that regional utilities are faced with similar criminal activities but copper cable theft has been top of the list.
