Torching of cellphone towers linked to 5G and Covid conspiracies 08 January 2021 - 07:34 Image: 123RF / Hin255
Three telecommunications network infrastructure towers were burnt and destroyed within a matter of hours in KwaZulu-Natal this week – seemingly sparked by the spread of false information related to Covid-19 and 5G.
The towers, belonging to telecom providers Vodacom and MTN, were burnt in the Durban area between Tuesday and Wednesday.
This is according to communications minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, who described the attacks as a threat to investments made to develop vital telecoms network infrastructure.
“It is regrettable that the much-needed network infrastructure is being destroyed. The country needs resilient and high-speed connectivity for every citizen to enable them to participate meaningfully in the digital economy. Furthermore, mobile telephony is crucial in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic,” she said.
