Crime has been a major issue in South Africa for many years. And if statistics are anything to go by, there is no silver lining to our crime-cloud. It may, then, surprise some to learn that most types of crimes decreased during the lockdown periods in 2020 and 2021. When considered, less freedom of movement (and more enforcement of this) led to less opportunities for criminals to act. However, that time is now over and “South Africa’s lockdown ‘crime holiday’ is over”. 

Now more than ever, security companies (such as SB Security) and the security services they offer have become vital. Below we look at why is it so important for you to make use of these protection and security services.

Statistics 

“South Africa’s latest crime statistics do not show a sudden escalation in crime. Instead, they show a return to the trends seen before this exceptional period of lifestyle disruption. But this should not lead to complacency. Levels of crime, especially violent crime, are still among the highest in the world. The national murder rate is about six times the global average..” [1]

What Can You Do About It? 

It is an absolute necessity for all South Africans to ensure that they are well protected. Security services including guarding services, armed reaction services and technical services such as alarm systems and the likes may well be the difference between life and death for the modern South African citizen. SB Security offers these services and more, and are widely recognised as revolutionaries and pioneers of the safety and security industry.
