These amendments are aimed at providing government total control in an area where the SA police has proved to fall short. Why not rather consider ways of co-operating with the private security sector in an effort to halt the runaway criminality in SA? If these amendments are the best the minister can do, he should not be in that position.

SAPS is yet another failure of ANC governance. They are useless and the management of the SAPS are mostly incompetent and unqualified.

The proposed amendments would cripple private enterprise and the economy and thus country would suffer and fall to ruin.

We cannot understand how the Government aims to guarantee the safety of the public if they undermine the services of private companies, especially in the light of the inability of our police force to cope with all the crime around us!

Insertion of 13A – regulation of firearms and ammunition

This is an overreach to kerb the industry that has to fill the void left by SAPS. Absolutely ridiculous!

Insertion of 13B – Issuing and possession of weapons

your police force is useless, as the community we need safety and if it can be done this way then let it be.

we don't mind paying them, regulate your police force, they not even visible in our communities but private security is visible day and night. if the police become visible in our communities the will be no crime.

Criminals will have all the power rendering police an security officers powerless to assist or defend.

No police officer or security officers life will mean anything if they have no means to protect themselves against criminals.
Crime will spike because they will be the ones with guns and no one will b3 able to stop them.
How will police and or security guards be able to push back crowds of people in a riot if waterguns , teargas, or rubber bullets are prohibited?
Criminals must know their actions will have consequences and there must be something to be scared of otherwise everybody else will be open targets.

Power of inspectors

Obviously this will benefit criminals as they will have the advantage of reduced security all over the country,REDICULOUS !!!

I object to every part of the proposed new regulations.
The SA Police Force is totally inadequate to protect South African citizens. Those that can, pay extra for the safety that our police force are incapable of, or disinterested in providing. Don't fix what isn't broken. Rather build on what is there. We already pay for a service we are not getting. Private security companies are doing your job. Perhaps your embarrassment is the reason you want to hamper a working and efficient system.

The entire change to the regulations, definitions, weapons etc is not acceptable.

We as Citizens are not able to rely on a properly trained and efficient Police system and therefore we PAY for our security service to keep us safe.
When the Government can get the SAP to the required standards then we wouldn't need to hire additional security companies.
IT IS OUR RIGHT to feel safe. This is just another way of trying to control the people you should be working for. It is our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to be safe.
Rather spend money and time on fixing your own problems instead of creating more for the Citizens of South Africa. It is easier to make changes to a system that is working than to fix your system which doesnt and hasnt worked for 3 decades!

We need private security to be weaponised because of the ridiculously high crime rate and the incompetence of the police. You are bringing the public to more harm if you take away the weapons of private security. Your police cannot protect from the mess your gvt created so let us at least protect ourselves.
