Kwagga

Ad-hoc services are temporary solutions requested by City departments for increased security at certain sites due to events like sabotage at substations, funded by the requesting departments as they do not have their own budget for this.

“The ad-hoc service is when a department comes along and say I do not have any guards or there is an influx of security breaches. We experienced, for instance, sabotage at a substation or an infeed station like Kwagga. We need to increase security. So the energy department will approach us then and say I need ad-hoc guards. And from us as a department, we obviously do not have the budget. We have got a very limited budget for that. And there is then a demand that the other departments... must then budget and fund it in that process. So the ad-hoc service is a temporary solution while something is happening. It is not supposed to be a long-term solution at all.”
