As South Africa approaches the festive season, excitement fills the air — but so does a worrying rise in criminal activity. The period between November and January often sees a surge in theft, hijackings, business break-ins, and cybercrime. For security providers like xTreme Force Security Services, a division of Brand Basani (Pty) Ltd, this is not just another busy period — it’s a time when vigilance, technology, and teamwork make all the difference.
🎯 Understanding the Crime Spike
Criminals often exploit the festive season because:
Businesses close or operate with minimal staff.
Many people travel, leaving properties unattended.
There’s an increase in cash transactions and online purchases.
Fatigue and distractions make individuals more vulnerable.
Recognizing these patterns helps our teams anticipate risk — and act before incidents occur.
