For some years, going back to Steve Tshwete's period as minister of police from 1999 to 2002, legislation limiting the scope of foreign-owned private security services in South Africa has been in the pipeline.

Assuming the legal objections can be overcome and the legislation passed, is it good or bad for the country? By RAYMOND SUTTNER.
