Telkom makes significant progress in fight against copper and battery theft

Telkom has seen a massive decline in incidents of copper cable and battery theft on its network in recent months, despite an increase in cases of site vandalism.

The telecoms company has told Sunday Times that its financial losses resulting from theft and vandalism on its network dropped from R10.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 to R3.8 million over the same period in 2024 — a reduction of 62%.
