Vandalism to Metrorail infrastructure in Cape Town has resulted in more than R1-million worth of damage and has shut down the False Bay section of the rail service for a week. On Sunday, Metrorail's Protection Services prevented the theft of an 11 kV line but, in the process, the suspects threw the cut 11kV line onto live 3kV overhead electric wires, according to Metrorail spokesperson Nana Zenani.
