Additional Security Measures – What you can share with clients and trade

As you are aware, we have implemented private patrols and a camera on the Numbi road, since April 2022 to assist with the safety.  Since implementation, there were no incidents until the dreadful murder last Monday.  It was a week of stunned shock by all in our trade and fellow South Africans.  KLCBT immediately offered a reward of R50 000 that will lead to successful arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators.  This was widely distributed in the communities, the Sangomas and the taxi associations—and it is certainly generating leads. But now the question is, “what now?”.  We have since     implemented massive additional security on the route, as much as possible right now, but we will add a lot more in the next two weeks.  The result will be total  coverage by live surveillance in the form of cameras, backed up by immediate reaction units and deployment of the latest technology to aid surveillance and effective reaction.  We have already ordered everything and we are currently raising the additional funds to pay for it.  It is roughly estimated that the total solution will cost in the region of R1 million in addition to what we have done up to now.  Please be in contact if your organization or company can add something to assist us in this effort.
