Cash-in-transit companies in need of stricter hiring policies
A KZN violence monitor has urged cash-in-transit companies to put in place stricter policies when hiring security personnel.
Mary de Haas made the remarks after a spate of cash-in-transit robberies in eThekwini this week.
Four suspected cash-in-transit robbers were killed in KwaMashu yesterday, while another suspect was arrested in the south of Durban.

De Haas says employees at the cash companies could be involved in the robberies.
"We don't have enough control over guns and ammunition and we don't have a properly well-enough regulated security industry because I don't think anything has changed much since the July report from last year's expert panel.
"There's a huge problem with the lack of independent police service. Almost all this crime goes back to the same problem," says De Haas
