The illustrative pricing for South Africa’s private security sector have been published by the National Bargaining Council for the Private Security Sector. The illustrative pricing outlines minimum wages for the country’s security guards for each year.
With over 2.4 million registered security officers nationwide, including just under 1 million in Gauteng, the private security workforce is substantial. The illustrative pricing will assist the estimated 11,372 registered security companies across South Africa.
NBCPSS aim to improve conditions for South Africa’s large but vulnerable private security workforce. By establishing minimum wages and other standards through the Main Collective Agreement, the Bargaining Council hopes to address exploitation and predatory pricing that has kept many security guards in poverty. The rules signify an important step toward formalizing the sector and ensuring fairer pay and treatment of security personnel across the country, while inducing fair business competition among employers.
