It definitely is a trying time to be “Proudly South African” these days with all the current “doom and gloom” on the news lately. One of the biggest frustrations South Africans face now is the dreaded load-shedding and it’s surprisingly consistent and lengthy stay in our lives. I am sure we can all agree the Eskom employee responsible for flipping the switch is by far the top employee at the Eskom power plant.
Jokes aside, it is important to keep in mind that problems like these will always present new opportunities in the crime department almost like a snowball effect. Recent crime statistics have shown that loadshedding has become so much more than just an inconvenience on our daily lives, especially on our home security. The extended stages and sessions without power, means that most security systems lose communication during the power outages or send out false alarm signals that have impact on the operations of security companies which put our safety at risk. Another add on to this, is the availability of the loadshedding schedule, which basically arms the home invader with a treasure map to where he can find his next treasure in a home where the security system is taking strain during the extended session. It makes the home invader’s job so much easier to gain access to your property with alarms, electric fencing and gate motors not fully charging and once they inside your property they have the luxury to spend more time in it.
