Die toename in die voorkoms van spesifieke soorte misdaad tydens die veiligheidswagte se staking moes by almal van ons die besef tuisgebring het dat die veiligheidsindustrie nie maar net as ´n privaat aangeleentheid van die privaatsektor beskou en hanteer kan word nie. Dit is baie duidelik dat die reguleringstelsel wat ons in plek het, onvoldoende is. Dit is van toepassing op kwessies soos loonvlakke, die afdwing van riglyne op geldafleweringsvoertuie, en dergelike meer.
The increase in the incidence of particular crimes during the security workers’ strike should have brought home to all of us the fact that the security industry cannot be handled simply as a private affair of the private sector. Quite clearly the regulatory system that we have in place is inadequate. This applies to such issues as wage levels, personnel vetting systems, enforcement of guidelines on cash-delivery vehicles, and so on.
