Shops along Nelson Mandela Drive, in Loch Logan and across the CBD want CCTV, access control and guards, and the industrial areas of Hamilton and Hilton need yard security. Botshabelo, Thaba Nchu and Mangaung residents look at gate motors, bars and community patrols. Dry winters and dust affect equipment, and farms around the city join rural safety networks.
