6 people, among them contractors, have been injured when a surge from a vandalised power cable, which was being repaired in Cape Town, exploded. The City of Cape says electrical repairs teams were fixing the vandalised Gugulethu substation last Monday after thieves had also stolen vital infrastructure components. The theft and vandalism caused a large power outage in Gugulethu and Manenberg. The worst consequence was the severe injury of 4 energy contractors, 1 staff member, and a member of the public when a power surge from the damage caused a cable to explode.
