Please note that the traffic lights in Nelson Mandela Boulevard, between Lawaaikamp (Pienaar Street and Nelson Mandela Boulevard intersection) and Conville Police Station (Pienaar Street and Nelson Mandela Boulevard), are currently out of order due to theft and vandalism of electrical cables.
A suspect was apprehended and charged early this morning at 05h00 after being caught in the act of setting one of the boxes alight and removing copper wires. Unfortunately, three of the boxes were completely destroyed by the vandalism.

• The traffic lights will remain off until repairs are completed, which are expected to take one or two days.
