Kgathi reviews Security Act

Moving the Private Security Services Bill 2015 for the second reading in Parliament, Kgathi said his ministry addressed three Pitso meetings with private security companies between 2012 and 2013.  He said the general concern of the companies was that the Control of Security Guards Services Act has been overtaken by events.

 Kgathi noted that they have stipulated that the Act only provided for security guards while the industry has developed to include more private security services such as alarm response units, dog sections, closed-circuit television (CCTV) and cash-in transit.
