Infrastructure left to ruin

According to The Africa Report, South Africa experiences about R46.5 billion in damages concerning stolen and vandalised infrastructure. Another massive example of this plight was the continued theft of the train tracks of Mzansi.

The man stealing the light really knew what he was doing. He shimmied his way up the pole in a few seconds and could easily hang below the light. He then dropped down even faster.

Peeps couldn't believe what they saw and shared their worry about the country's infrastructure. See the comments below:

"ANC is no longer the problem. Our own people are the problem. We sit and watch people destroy our country and infrastructure, then blame ANC for service delivery."
