M. | Yes I do | Cameras should NOT infringe on privacy of homes, nor be linked in any manner or form to privacy of personal information. Cameras should be at every street corner, robots, key entrances to large public spaces, etc. Internationally these have been in service for a long time and have proven to serve the public well. POINT OF CONCERN: SA GOVT'S PROPOSED BILL OF BIOMETRIC IDENTITY and now suggestion of the CAMERAS.... |
Shaheen | No I do not | This is the set-up leading to 15 minute cities where we'll be monitored and cannot do it at our free will |
Nico | Yes I do | Only if it can reduce crime, if this can be used as evidence in court and can lead to apprehension of perpetrators. |
john | No I do not | This is more of the "Nanny state" - it is sold under the pretext of "protecting" us. The reality is that the government wants more control. THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN. |
Mario | Yes I do | |
Sonja | Yes I do | |
elize | No I do not | |
Coenie | Yes I do | Have a look at CCTV success in Britain, eg. London and surrounds. It's astonishing to see what difference this could make in our lives |
ADELE | Yes I do | If it is monitored correctly our safety will improve |
Kevin | Yes I do | |
Linda | No I do not | Most homes have their own cameras at a great expense!! We will land up paying for this also..which most homes will be unable to afford!! |
Boniswa | No I do not | Having private companies especially white owned and managed companies and the biases that will be part of their algorithms is not a good idea. Public safety should be a public good and not a private good. I do not support the installation of a connected camera network in my area especially a private owned network. |
Lenette | Yes I do | It is shown that crime decreases when cameras are installed. We are not safe anywhere anymore in South Africa and crime is increasing because of job losses. |
Matthew | Yes I do | |
Toni | No I do not | People are already under constant surveillance, this is just another opportunity for corruption. |
Leon | Yes I do | Cameras always help to reduce crime |
NJ | Yes I do | |
Johannes | Yes I do | Vumatel is a for profit company. This means efficiency. However, for profit companies should not operate in an arena where there is no clear government policy. Government policy should safeguard citizens. It is important that goverment develop policy to regulate this activity. This policy should be developed based of best practice and the interest of citizens and should not start with the framework of a for profit company. Whatever is already established should be disregarded when developing the policy and the for profit companies must adapt to meet the regulations once these have been approved by citizens and gone through the rigours of law making. |
Pravin | Yes I do | We would like it to be subsidized by the Municipality |
Sandy | Yes I do |
