One person was arrested early on May 3, after an attempted cable theft from a manhole in Bergbron.
According to Beagle Watch’s area manager Cobus Botes, one of their patrol officers was flagged down by a security guard who reported suspicious individuals inside a nearby manhole.
“As our officer and the guard approached the manhole, the driver of a white Toyota sped off with two occupants, while two others remained underground.
"Johan is an internationally published journalist and editor with extensive experience in news and industry reporting. His work has featured in numerous publications over the years.
He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community.
