I have been reading on Facebook a war of words that has ensued between security personnel and our husbands over security apparatus at complexes around this city, including your newspaper which has been accused of a mix-up of facts concerning this matter.

The funniest thing is that it is men who argue about security matters, which is right as custodians of their homes – some males do it honestly.

My concern about the Facebook chats over the past week, were between men, who I know, are not at home most of the time, then they, all of a sudden, are more critical on the matter.

For us females, who are at home most of the time, save for work-related matters, find the use of private security companies more efficient than absent male partners in the home.

There are numerous women who run homes around the city who can best have been part of the chat on Facebook, but they are safe with 24-hour assured security from private security companies including neighbourhood watch teams that are in existence around the city.

A word of caution to the SAPS is that, as taxpayers, we expect them to take care of us by constant surveillance drives around all parts of the city instead of relaxing at the police stations.

Who is reputed for catching criminals on the act around the city?

Private security companies that we pay to ensure safety.

In conclusion, males, steer off matters that you do not play a role in and stick to your socialising habits.

We are safe where we are. Next time you need to chat on Facebook about crime, talk to us.
