a central command centre, panic buttons or full CCTV monitoring, which are yet to be rolled out.
Lesufi denied suggestions sending out the recruits without these was reckless because the wardens will have “a number” to communicate and work with. “The command centre has to be an integrated facility. We are integrating it with Gautrain and Sanral’s gantries. We have to get permission to gain access to these. Municipalities also have cameras and we need to have access to them. That is why the command centre is being reconfigured.
“When we unveil the CCTV and command centre we will be in a position to unveil the panic buttons. They are at an advanced stage. They are testing them. We’ve done the proposals and budgeting and we are having them tested,” Lesufi said. He said 21,000 had applied to be wardens. A total of 10,650 applicants were shortlisted for the next stage and 6,000 candidates made it to the training stage. Only 4,000 graduated.One cannot take unemployed youth and give them three months' training, equip them with guns and then deploy them to ‘fight crime’. And this without an operational command centre to oversee them. A recipe for disaster.
