LETS PROTECT OUR PRIVATE SECURITY SECTOR

🚨 URGENT: Proposed PSIRA Amendments Will Cripple South Africa's Security Industry 🚨

On 28 March, sweeping regulatory amendments were quietly slipped into the Government Gazette—amendments that, if passed, will decimate South Africa’s private security sector.

With over 580,000 security officers serving millions of clients and plugging gaps left by a failing SAPS, the industry is a cornerstone of national safety. And yet, these PSIRA proposals threaten to:

❌ Ban armed guards from working if their company is merely under investigation—not convicted, just accused.

❌ Restrict firearm use in public spaces like malls, churches, and even homes.

❌ Impose undefined limits on ammunition (what's a "reasonable quantity"?)

❌ Mandate annual psych tests with no clarity on standards—employer-funded, of course.

❌ Outlaw vital tools like rubber bullets, water cannons, and even Tasers (yes, really).

❌ Demand impossible-to-meet tech like firearm tracking devices that don’t even exist.

❌ Clamp down on semi-auto rifles—crippling high-risk units and mine security.

This is bureaucratic overreach masquerading as reform. Instead of targeting rogue firms and fake contractors exploiting PSIRA and SAPS inefficiencies, the proposals kneecap legitimate companies trying to keep South Africans safe.

💥 Bottom line? These regs are a regulatory scorched-earth policy. If enacted, expect widespread job losses, collapsed security firms, and a vacuum in public safety that criminals will rush to fill.

🗣️ We cannot allow this. There’s still time.
