Farm attacks are a significant concern in South Africa, making proactive safety measures essential.
Farmers can adopt a multi-layered strategy combining preventative measures,
advanced security technologies, and active community engagement.
Read our most recent projects regarding this concerning issue:
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES:
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:
Maintain constant vigilance and be alert to unusual activity or potential threats.
Regularly inspect fences, gates, and other vulnerable areas for tampering.
Report any suspicious behaviour to authorities promptly.
ACCESS CONTROL:
Mark boundaries and secure all entry points with durable gates and locking mechanisms.
Implement a controlled entry system to monitor and manage visitors.
PERIMETER SECURITY:
Fencing: Install strong, well-maintained fences, with added deterrents like electric fencing.
Lighting: Use motion-sensor lights around the home, outbuildings, and key access points.
Alarm Systems: Deploy a comprehensive alarm system linked to a trusted monitoring service, including perimeter and interior alarms and panic buttons.
SECURITY PERSONNEL:
Employ trained security guards or contract a reputable security company for regular patrols.
TRAINING:
Ensure farmers, families, and staff are trained in self-defence and emergency response. Knowing how to act during an incident can save lives.
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS:
CCTV CAMERAS:
Place cameras strategically inside and outside the property.
Opt for models with night vision and remote monitoring capabilities.
GPS TRACKING:
GPS tracking devices for vehicles and mobile phones are used to aid in locating individuals in case of an emergency.
INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS:
Connect alarms, cameras, and other security tools into a unified system for streamlined management and real-time monitoring.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH PROGRAMS:
Join or establish a neighbourhood watch initiative to foster a safer community and improve early threat detection.
COMMUNICATION NETWORKS:
Create strong communication channels with neighbours and authorities, such as WhatsApp groups or radio networks, to share updates and alerts.
PROMPT REPORTING:
Encourage immediate reporting of suspicious activity to local law enforcement for swift action.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRACTICES:
ROUTINE VARIATIONS:
Regularly alter daily routines to prevent criminals from predicting patterns.
STAFF PROFILING AND SCREENING:
Conduct thorough background checks and polygraph tests for new and existing employees to ensure loyalty and prevent sharing sensitive information.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE:
Periodically inspect and maintain all security measures to ensure they function optimally.
PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENTS:
Engage security experts to evaluate vulnerabilities and recommend upgrades.
COLLABORATION WITH AUTHORITIES:
Build strong relationships with local law enforcement and share relevant information to enhance crime prevention efforts.
While implementing these strategies will significantly enhance safety, no system is foolproof. Farmers must remain vigilant, adapt to emerging threats, and tailor measures to their specific circumstances,
including location, farm size, and available resources.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.
STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
