Security guards who break in remain in their payroll
In my complex I caught a security guard breaking into my house. This was reported to Bidvest Protea Coin but sadly I would have been better off not reporting it at all. Despite that this was the second time I had been broken into in the presence of the same security guard, only the second time, I knew had proof that it was him, the company decided to keep him. I was told there was a hearing where he was cleared of any wrongdoing because there was no evidence. I was never called to the hearing to testify and submit my evidence which I had SHOWED to the branch manager. I don't understand why he didn't ensure that the evidence was made available before the hearing, unless if this is a company culture, protecting and supporting *********. The security guard was intoxicated and his supervisor witnessed this but still, nothing was done. It's very upsetting because one would expect a company as big as Bidvest Protea Coin to take such matters seriously because SECURITY IS WHAT THEY ARE MEANT TO ENSURE AND PROVIDE yet my complaints have fallen to deaf ears. I've lost my cellphone while this guy was on duty and had him break into my house while I was inside, this doesn't seem to be serious enough to Bidvest as a company with a brand to protect. It turns out private security companies are no better than the SAPS. They are all pathetic and useless.
