FF Plus has serious misgivings about Lesufi’s emergency panic button project
6 September 2023
The FF Plus has serious misgivings about the viability of Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi's emergency panic button project which is supposed to make the province safer.
Lesufi wants to use this project as one of the pillars to protect Gauteng residents against crime.
The root of the problem is, however, that the response services linked to the emergency button, like the police, state ambulances and the fire brigade, are already negatively affected by significant shortages hindering effective service delivery.
One simply cannot link expensive, newly created technology to old response systems that are on the verge of imploding.
