I am a smallholder in Broederstroom and have had parts of my fence (specifically droppers and y-standards) stolen.
While it is possible to place y-standards in concrete (at additional cost) it is just not possible to do the same with droppers which are placed at 1 meter intervals.

I’m signing this petition as the local informal scrap dealers are an encouragement for criminals to steal anything that has value e.g. fencing, street lights, copper cable, pumps, switchgear, transformers, just to mention a few examples.

Scrap metal dealers encourage serious and petty theft in our area. My 6-foot high 3-meter wide wrougt-iron entrance gate to my property was stolen over night and following that áll poles and droppers of our fencing was stolen. I csn go on-and-on. If they did not have a market to sell these stolen items, these thefts would nót occur.
