Properties and sites in North West
North West is mostly farmland and mining country, with Rustenburg, Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom and Mahikeng as the main centres. Many requests come from farmers and smallholders around Brits, Lichtenburg and Zeerust, who work with rural safety networks and want fences, gate motors, cameras and radio-linked alarms. Platinum and gold operations bring contractor camps, hostels and yards that need access control and guarding. Weekend homes and lodges around Hartbeespoort and the Magaliesberg are often empty during the week, so alarms, beams and patrols are common. Summer thunderstorms are fierce on open ground, and distances are long, so installers quote travel and response companies explain which routes they cover.
