About two months ago I contacted the police on 10111 after my mother in law’s hysterical domestic helper phoned me.
She said that there were robbers in the house. I immediately called the police as I was in Randburg and the incident occurred in Boksburg.
They answered promptly but even after I repeated NUMEROUS times that they are still in the house, the police still only arrived more than 45 minutes later.
The domestic was held up by gunpoint but luckily survived the ordeal.
The response company ADT didn’t do any better and also arrived about 40 minutes later. It is horrific that we cannot rely on the people we pay to protect us.
