In the wake of the incident that occurred at the Shell Garage on the 13th of August 2023, where customers were subjected to an unfortunate attack, Poloko Sekgopi has been making appearances in court following this brutal assault, questions have arisen regarding the role of PH Security in ensuring the safety and security of the premises, staff and customers. The Vryburg Independent Post reached out to PH Security for their response to the incident and to clarify their involvement.
PH Security, the security company responsible for safeguarding the Shell Garage premises, promptly responded to our media inquiry. PJ Pretorius, a representative of PH Security, expressed that they are cooperating with the ongoing investigation into the incident and provided some insights into their perspective.

According to Pretorius, their on-site security guard was also assaulted during the incident. In response, the guard filed a case with the authorities, demonstrating his commitment to upholding the law. Additionally, Pretorius mentioned that despite pressure from the guilty party to withdraw the case, the guard has not done so.
While PH Security was unable to provide detailed information due to the ongoing investigation and legal considerations, they emphasized their dedication to protecting their client’s property and equipment. They reiterated that their priority is to maintain security at the premises and ensure the safety of customers and staff.
“It’s essential to note that PH Security is not taking sides in this incident. Instead, our primary focus remains on cooperating with law enforcement to aid in the investigation. We are willing to provide any necessary assistance to the South African Police Service (SAPS) during the course of the inquiry.” Emphasized Pretorius.
