South Africa’s biggest private security company prepared for national shutdown



Fidelity Services, South Africa’s largest private security provider, has prepared for potential social unrest surrounding the anti-immigration protest on 30 June 2026.

The company said in a statement that it has activated contingency measures and is closely monitoring developments across the country. 

These preparations come as South Africa experiences a sharp rise in anti-immigrant sentiment in recent months, which risks turning into widespread social unrest.

A citizen-led movement, ‘March and March’, has been at the forefront of protests against illegal immigration, aggressively campaigning for stricter enforcement and mass deportations.

Fidelity Services CEO Wahl Bartmann said the company’s National Joint Operations Centre (JOC) is liaising closely with all relevant authorities to ensure preparedness should any unrest occur.

March and March issued a public ultimatum for all undocumented foreign nationals in South Africa to leave the country voluntarily by 30 June, threatening a national shutdown should this not happen.

“Our teams are on standby with comprehensive contingency plans in place to manage any potential incidents arising from the planned protest action,” Bartmann said.

Fidelity has placed helicopter and drone pilots on standby and is prepared to deploy additional resources, including specialised personnel and armoured personnel carriers, where required.
