Taung- The community of Tlapeng village, near Taung said the high-mast lights never saw the light of the day since they were installed more than two years ago in their area. The said the lights would have helped to reduce escalating crime they experiencing day-by-day in the area.

However the Greater Taung Municipality spokesperson Charity McCord said the high-mast lights will be working in no time. “The Greater Taung Local Municipality is awaiting formal quotes from Eskom in order to pay and allow Eskom to connect the High Mast Lights. Eskom is currently busy with connections in Dryharts” McCord outlines.

The community said the high mast lights are crucial and will highly-appreciate the quick response as their lives are at risk if crime continue to rise with their area.
