Gate motors on farm tracks near Qunu need solar panels and a manual release for flat batteries. Intercoms at schools and clinics should be simple to use, with a clear rule for visitors and deliveries.

Shops and offices in the CBD and along Nelson Mandela Drive need guards, CCTV and strong shutters, while Southernwood and Fort Gale have walled homes with alarms and gate motors. Around the town, rural homesteads and lodges toward Qunu and Mqanduli sit far from response vehicles on gravel roads, so solar cameras, gate intercoms and community arrangements matter more than a fast patrol.
