Last week, the school s governing body spoke to Eyewitness News about the dangers facing the children with the cables that were left exposed, saying that they were at risk of electrocution.
Goede Hoop Primary School s playground was dug up on Wednesday night and the buried electricity cables were stolen from the premises. It s believed that the cable thieves who dug up cables along Goedehoop Avenue in Reiger Park last month were responsible for Wednesday night s incident. The residents said cable theft had become life-threatening as it put the lives of children in danger.
