Sectional Title Scheme Security and Loadshedding

--:--
Load shedding, which has become almost daily in South Africa due to the power crisis, has significantly disrupted everyone's lives. Countless business hours have been lost, productivity across all sectors has been impacted, time is wasted, frustrations are at an all-time high due to the traffic backlogs brought on by broken traffic lights, and families are unable to cook or take hot showers.

These and countless other issues are affecting both the consumer and the private sector, but what's worse is the potential impact that these power outages could have on the security of your home or place of business.

It is logical to expect South Africa's large criminal element to begin targeting areas that do not have power, therefore it is up to each and every one of us to ensure that our back-up systems are in place, whether it is for an alarm system or an electric gate.

In this episode of Fitzanne's Property Exchange, Pearl Scheltema and Johan de Bruyn, Head of Operations at Mezuzah Security Services, share insights and practical tips that will enable Body Corporates and unit owners to maintain robust and reliable security practices during loadshedding.
