## 🚨 The Problem
Cable theft is one of Premier Panyaza Lesufi's G13 provincial crises —
and it triggers 5 of the 13 simultaneously. Every stolen cable means
dark streets, failed traffic lights, hospitals losing backup power, and
CBDs decaying. Emfuleni Municipality covers 700,000 residents across
45 wards with zero digital tools to fight back.
## 💡 The Solution
CableWatch is the first community-powered cable theft intelligence
platform in Gauteng. Any resident reports theft in under 60 seconds
via photo and GPS. Reports appear live on a province-wide threat map.
AI detects hotspot patterns and predicts where thieves will strike next.
One tap generates an official report straight to SAPS or Eskom.
