Properties and sites in Polokwane
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, spread across a hot plateau, with security demand to match. Malls, offices and hotels along Thabo Mbeki Street and the Landdros Mare area ask for guards, CCTV and monitoring. Estates and older suburbs such as Welgelegen, Bendor and Flora Park usually combine electric fencing, beams and armed response, while Seshego, Mankweng and Moletjie homeowners add gate motors and bars. Warehouses and truck yards in Ladanna and along the N1 need access control and night patrols. Game farms and cattle ranches outside town look at long perimeters and radio links. Heat and summer storms are the main equipment concerns.
