Government warned of threats to national security

THE National Security Strategy between 2019 and 2024 warned the government that South Africa's main project of democratic dispensation remained to be ensuring a better life for all citizens.

The document, released on Tuesday by Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, said if political emancipation was translated into economic well-being for all citizens, there was a need in turn to understand the direct relationship between security and development.

The National Security Strategy observed that South Africans continued to face serious threats to their well-being.

"Organised crime and general high levels of crime, food insecurity, bio-safety and diseases, gender-based violence and terrorism are among such noted threats."

It said there was an emergence of disregard for the authority of the state by some in the South African society.
