There is a new scrap metal dealer in Ottery, one block from Makro. Walking in there, there are coils of copper, municipal sewer lids, car doors and bonnets, lawnmowers, piles of lead weights. While I was looking, two guys arrived pushing a trolley with burnt-off electric wire. The wire was weighed and they received some cash.

I asked the one scruffy gent on his way out of the yard if he could get me some wire, but with the insulation still intact and offered him R50 in advance. He told me to come there later this week as he would speak to his friend. I said I preferred house wire, so he said this was no problem.

Cape Metro Police tell me they have no record of a dealer in this location. They asked me if he is registered which I found peculiar

Well, you as a very large company should withdraw your head out of the anc's butt and actually start pressuring them to start stopping crime and actually start policing again.

You support the anc so much you are regarded as a cadre and therefore you are in the same boat as a criminal origination.
