The Gauteng government’s ambition to establish the province as South Africa’s central digital economic hub hinges on technology innovation and the ability to curb crime, said Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi.
Lesufi said technology companies have a crucial role to play in helping to shape the province and empower it to drive the digital economy. He added that the province has a budget of R4.7 billion set aside to combat crime and the strategy is to go ‘high-tech’.“The days of chasing criminals with a knobkerrie are over,” said Lesufi. “We want high definition, facial recognition CCTV cameras on every street in every community, we want the police to be able to use drones and drone technology to mobilise crime response resource.”
