The Public Servant Association's Mlungisi Ndlovu says a comprehensive review of all security systems and measures is needed. 

 

"It is imperative that private security guards are armed and equipped with panic buttons. Several cameras must be installed in all departments, facilities and offices. 

 

"It is evident that the criminals are becoming more dangerous and ruthless and the department's security must be prepared to respond to such malicious activities."
