Nelson Mandela Bay reactivates R6m surveillance vehicle to combat cable theft

Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has returned its R6-million high-tech surveillance vehicle, 'Loerbroer', to active duty after years of disuse. The vehicle is intended to deter cable thieves and infrastructure vandals, a persistent problem in the metro. The effectiveness of the revived asset remains to be seen, but its deployment signals a renewed focus on protecting critical infrastructure.
