Security companies urged to employ active staff

Speaking during a Kgotla meeting at Botshabelo ward on Wednesday, Molefhi said that security companies should employ people who are still active. He said that employing active people is important, as they will be able to do their work properly.

“Some security companies employ old people who cannot afford to work especially night shifts because they end up sleeping during working hours,” he said. Molefhi said that this alone puts their clients in danger because anything can happen while the guard is still fast asleep. He stated that the standard of security guards should also be high to ensure that they do not put their clients in danger. He suggested that security guards  undergo thorough training since the nature of their work requires special skills.
