EWN reports that the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) says that over the past six years it revoked over 4,400 company registrations for non-compliance.
PSiRA is tasked with the regulation of the private security sector in SA. On Wednesday, the regulator announced it had suspended the registration of Militas Dei Security Services – the security training company behind an illegal Libyan military camp in Mpumalanga. PSiRA CEO Manabele Chauke advised that criminal cases were to be opened against the owners of the South African company behind the illegal Libyan military camp. According to PSiRA, it has over 16,000 registered private security service providers under it. About 10% of those are security training providers. Chauke indicated that they strived to conduct annual inspections of the companies, but inspections were based on budget availability, risk analysis and capacity requirements. He said: “We will continue to work tirelessly to enforce compliance, conduct rigorous inspections, and take decisive actions against any entities found in violation of our regulations. We will continue to enhance our regulatory frameworks, increase surveillance, and maintain close collaboration with other law enforcement agencies to prevent unlawful activities from taking root in our communities.”
