Safety Concerns?
A number of our clients have expressed concern for their safety and level of crime in South Africa. While crime is something we have grown to live with, South Africa, Host to the greatest sporting event on earth, has put this at the top of their agenda… here is what has been done…

South Africa will be working closely with international agencies to gather intelligence
• there will be a focus on border security at ports of entry – including South Africa’s land, sea and air borders
• route security, specifically those leading from airports into the cities, will be a priority
• police are to divide the host cities into sections, with teams patrolling sections and focusing on FIFA headquarters, hotels, other accommodation establishments, the stadiums, fan parks, restaurants and tourist venues
• state-of-the-art information and communication military technology will be used as well as a fleet of nearly 40 helicopters
• a dedicated force of 41 000 extra officers will be deployed.

Some R655million will be spent on special equipment, such as crowd-control equipment, crime scene rainers, unmanned aircraft, helicopters, water canons, BMW highway patrol vehicles, and up-to date body armour. By the time of the worldcup, police numbers, including reservists will amount to almost 350,000 personnel, all to ensure your safety!
