This then results in Security Staff turning to crime. The reality of the situation is that in South Africa, there is a need for Security Companies. This gives the unauthorised companies a chance to open their doors to business, often persuading innocent business owners and landlords of their \u201cvaluable service offering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the amount of time, it takes to undergo training, the heavy costs involved in the Security Training as well as the lengthy time it takes to complete a Security check and register new Security Guards, more and more Security Guard candidates end up working for unregistered companies or go look for work in other industries. The lengthy wait often leaves them feeling desperate for work resulting in them turning towards an \u201ceasier\u201d solution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the Act requires all persons rendering a Security Service to register with the Authority, the Act further provides for offences and penalties for non-compliance or contraventions. In term of section 38 (3)(a), any person who contravenes or fails to comply with Section 20(1) of the Act, is guilty of an offence. Section 38(3)(a) provides for the following sanctions on convictions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On a <b>first conviction\u00a0<\/b>of a contravention, is liable to a\u00a0<b>fine or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years<\/b>, or both a fine and such imprisonment;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On a <b>second or subsequent conviction\u00a0<\/b>of a contravention, is liable to a\u00a0<b>fine or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding ten years<\/b>, or to both a fine and such imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row wrap_container=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1653056393150{margin-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Our training facility is accredited as a training provider with\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><strong>Safety and Security Seta (Accreditation Nr: PAA01519)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><strong>Wholesale and Retail Seta (Accreditation Nr: 269)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><strong>TETA (Accreditation Nr: TETA23-1567)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><strong>PSIRA (Training Centre Accreditation Nr: T2051)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row wrap_container=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1660648246296{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; wrap_container=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1660648256015{margin-top: 30px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #e7e7e7 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text] The South African Private Security Sector is governed by the Private Security Regulation Act, which states that\u00a0all Guarding Security Officers must be registered\u00a0before they may be employed.\u00a0Companies that employ their own\u00a0In-house\u00a0Security Officers need to be\u00a0registered\u00a0with\u00a0PSIRA\u00a0as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"source":[],"class_list":["post-2389","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2389\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibisitholdings.co.za\/landing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/source?post=2389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
