African Cables manufactures power cables in South Africa, historically from Vereeniging.
We could not confirm an official website for an organisation trading under this name, so no number is published here. An unverified number sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail fraud, and in financial services that risk is at its highest.
Counterfeit and substandard electrical cable is a fire risk, and cable sold below market price is frequently under-specified on conductor size. Buy against a specification and ask for the compliance documentation.
This page covers how to contact African Cables in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official African Cables contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not African Cables and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
African Cables contact numbers
We could not identify an official source for an organisation trading under this name. There is no website we could confirm belongs to it, so there was nothing official to read a contact number from.
We have deliberately not published a number here. An unverified number is worse than none: it sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail scams.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the organisation’s own official website, which carries the current contact details.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Industrial and hazardous material incidents
- A chemical release, a gas leak or a plant emergency is not a police matter first. Dial 10111 or 112, say what the substance is if you know, and say how many people are affected.
- Move upwind and away before you make the call. Distance is the only protection available to a member of the public.
- Do not switch anything electrical on or off near a suspected gas leak, and do not use a phone in the room. Both can provide an ignition source.
- Major installations must have emergency plans and must inform the surrounding community about the risks and the warning arrangements. You are entitled to ask what they are.
- Report ongoing pollution to the provincial environmental department, with dates, photographs and a precise location. A general complaint is far harder to act on.
The Environmental Management Inspectorate, the Green Scorpions, enforces environmental law and can act on a documented pattern of incidents where a single report gets no traction.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the company’s own published enquiry route. A listed company’s shareholder and governance matters go through the company secretary named in its annual report, and an ethics concern goes to the independently operated hotline the company publishes for that purpose.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most corporate complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake African Cables contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not African Cables.
- Reach African Cables through the official site at its official website rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- African Cables will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the African Cables contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
How do I know a African Cables number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at its official website. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not African Cables, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
