South Africa’s acting Minister of Police, Mr Firoz Cachalia, met with representatives of the private security industry this morning, as part of an initiative to strengthen collaboration between the public and private sectors in safeguarding the country’s stability and security ahead of the planned June 30 demonstrations.
The meeting recognized the important role that the private security industry can play as a force multiplier in support of the South African Police Service (SAPS), particularly during periods of heightened security concerns and increased public mobilization.
Representatives of the private security industry welcomed the call for closer collaboration and pledged their support in ensuring that any planned demonstrations on 30 June 2026 take place in a safe and lawful environment.
In his closing remarks, the Acting Minister expressed appreciation for the willingness of the private security industry to make its resources available in support of national stability efforts.
