Steenhuisen highlighted rural safety issues and promoted drone technology as a solution for policing, stock theft, and farm attacks.
“Drone technology is now a game changer for policing in rural areas. It’s a game changer for dealing with stock theft and farm attacks. You can get the drone in the air and it would be tacking the suspects and I think we need to embrace this new technology. But it’s going to require a change in government and a change in approach from national and provincial level,” the report quoted him as saying.
