“We have received a number of cases where churches had been broken into around Pienaar. We, therefore, encourage pastors not to leave such valuable equipment on the premises,” said Ndubane
“Members should consider transporting their equipment whenever they come to services and taking them back with them to avoid being victims of such crimes. They could also consider hiring a private security company to look after premises,” she add.
Installing security measures like alarm systems, cyber security software, smart locks and access control systems, panic buttons and surveillance cameras, are some of the ways in which to strengthen security in business areas, including churches.
