Measures to enhance safety and security in places of worship discussed in Boksburg meeting.
The South African Council of Churches says all the churches are looking forward to celebrating Easter which they did not do last year due to stringent lockdown regulations.In response to a series of alarming armed robberies targetting places of worship, a significant decision was reached during a meeting between Gauteng Community Safety MEC and representatives from various Faith-based Organizations.
The proposed transition to cashless transactions within churches is viewed as a strategic step toward enhancing security measures and minimising the risk of criminal activity. Highlighting the diverse targets of criminal activity, including valuable equipment and property such as cellphones, keyboards, amplifiers, and vehicles, Pastor Mohlala stressed the need for a comprehensive approach to security.
