Over 40 security guard companies de-listed

Controller of security guard services, Ernest Nthobelang says that failure to renew licenses on time is in violation of Section 9 as read with Regulation 4 and 5 of the Control of Security Guard Services Act Cap 21:07.

Nthobelang says that usually an expiry date is indicated on the license and it should be renewed two months before its expiry date. He revealed that some of the de-listed companies have been operating since January with expired licenses, which he says is criminal.  He says that operators should cease their services immediately after the expiry date if the license is not renewed.  "They have been operating illegally though we have de-listed them," he said.
