Computers, network cables and hardware valued at R6 million were stolen.

"We strongly condemn these incidents as they frustrate our efforts to provide access to information to residents living in rural and township communities who use long distances to apply for jobs and business opportunities online.
"While a comprehensive security plan is being implemented to safeguard these assets, we appeal to members of the community who might have witnessed these incidents to share information with the police so that all those who are responsible for these criminal acts are brought to book."
