PUBLIC NOTICE: Traffic lights out of order in Nelson Mandela Boulevard due to vandalism

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.
Repairs and Traffic Arrangements
• The traffic lights will remain off until repairs are completed, which are expected to take one or two days.
• Our Civils Directorate will assist by installing necessary signage where required.
• The Traffic Department will deploy point duty officers during peak hours, lunch breaks, early mornings, and end-of-day rush to manage traffic and ensure safety.
We kindly request all road users to exercise patience and caution while driving through the affected area. Your cooperation is appreciated as we work to restore normal traffic flow.
