Mthethwa calls for better security

[SmartKit]

Cash in transit companies need to tighten their security measures to make heists more difficult or even impossible, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa said on Friday.

"We need to ensure these companies take seriously their responsibilities to protect, not only their clients but their guards and the public who are affected by cash in transit heists," he said in a statement released after a banking and security forum in Pretoria.

Cash in transit robbers often used inside information when planning their heists.

"In the majority of attacks the provision of this information is crucial to the success of the robbery."

Mthethwa was at the forum, also attended by cash in transit companies and other businesses, to discuss cash risk management and to address the security risks facing them.

So the onus is on the victims to protect themselves, not on the police to provide security?

Why don't we just privatise the SAPS and get it over with? We could get a cellular provider to sponsor them. The Vodacom Police Service!

/facepalm

PS: SAPS is for taking bribes, so the "security issue" is not their responsibility.

Perhaps, with your great experience of living in NZ, you'd care to tell us about their problems?

Seriously, drugs and lack of opportunity are the main problems in NZ.

Even people from Tuvalu or islands that will disappear due to global warming don't want to resettle in NZ due to these problems, and prefer Australia as the best option.

I lived there for 3 years. Drugs: no more than any other western country. Lack of opportunity? Well if you you're in my field (particle accelerators) yes, you're right. Most other fields it's great. Good people but an over-dependence on agriculture. This is understandable considering their lack of resources. However the IT/software field/hi-tech is VERY strong. In relation to SA NZ is paradise. Here I speak from experience.

Sam, don't shout your mouth off if you don't know what you're talking about.
