Tell PSIRA: Don’t Disarm Our Security Guards

We, the undersigned, demand that PSIRA stop their harsh new regulations. These will take weapons away from private security guards, put your life in danger, and threaten over 500 000 jobs.

Security companies won’t be able to do their jobs while criminals still have guns.

South Africans deserve protection, not more useless red tape.

What’s at Risk

  • Your safety – Guards can’t protect you without proper tools.
  • Jobs – More than 500 000 people work in private security.
  • Community safety – Less protection means more crime and slow help.
  • Important places – Even power stations and other key sites will be left open to attack.

These Rules Will

  • Ban important tools like tasers and firearms
  • Make it hard for guards to respond in emergencies
  • Leave security officers helpless against armed criminals
  • Open the door to more illegal gangs and extortion

Join the DA in opposing PSIRA’s reckless regulations. We’re calling for:

  • The immediate withdrawal of the draft regulations.
  • A full public consultation process that listens to the people most affected.
  • A regulatory framework that supports private security — not punishes it.

Your voice matters. Add your name now to protect South Africans and support our security officers.
