Hi everybody
I see on the blog that there is a security meeting tonight. I doubt if I will make it back in time from my meeting, but here are my suggestions:
• To put proper electric fence especially where we are most vulnerable. The current fence is just strands and can be easily lifted with a fork type branch. The fact that they carry the stolen goods into the veldt does not tell us if they store it there to bring back to the houses later or if they store it there to take to the fence at a later stage.
• The fact that they run towards the houses could be that
they know there are more hiding places for them as against being open in the veldt
• The only way we will find out if they do live amongst us is to get the sniffer dogs in faster. Surely the dog will take us straight to them.
• Maybe to have a wooden watch tower, place in a position to cover the most vulnerable area and a guard manning it with night vision binoculars like they use in the army. Of course this guard must also have a clock in pad, to make sure he is on duty all the time.
• I have been told by home owners that they have seen a car getting in at Soetdoring gate with about 5 people in the car and then after doing it’s rounds through the estate, leave the same gate with only one person in the car. We have to pay attention to these types of scenarios.
• Lately a lot of contract workers are walking around – in the beginning this was not allowed at all and I think we should return to this procedure. They must be fined heavily if caught.
• Also why don’t we purchase a bus for all domestic workers and gardeners and stop them from walking around as well.
I also see home owners at the gate getting angry when asked to surge their car boot. Please everybody must understand that this measure was not put in place to pick on certain owners but this is good idea for everybody’s sake. It does not even take 20 seconds.
