Home Security Course

 

home security in south africa

 

In South Africa, home security is an absolute priority.

According to official statistics, South Africa experiences more than 23,000 violent home invasions every year - in addition to more than a million housebreaking crimes.

Of course, this only represents the official figure. Remember that a vast number of break-ins or attempted burglaries aren't even reported to police in South Africa.

No matter where you live, or how secure you may think you are, having multiple intelligent layers of home security - plus smart home defense strategies and basic self defense skills - could save you and your family from a tragic situation.
