MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Members of the Fourways Gardens
community,

It is a privilege to present this year’s
Chairman’s Report.

Security remains the cornerstone of
our operations and continues to be the
largest area of levy expenditure. We have
sustained investment in guarding services,
CCTV infrastructure, monitoring systems,
visitor management, access control, and
electrical backup to ensure continuity
during outages.

Several key milestones were reached. We
concluded Requests for Proposals (RFPs)
for Guarding, Armed Response, and CCTV
Maintenance and Monitoring. The HOA is
in the process of finalising RFPs for Visitor
Management and Access Control, with a
view to implementing integrated systems
that improve entry and exit throughput
while automating key security processes.
This forms part of the broader vision to
support the proposed gate project.

A notable development this year was
the introduction of Drone technology.
Fourways Gardens became the first estate
in Northern Johannesburg, and one of the
first in Gauteng, to receive full regulatory
approval for a Docked Drone Solution.
This initiative adds a new layer of
coverage to our existing security platform
and reinforces the estate’s commitment
to innovation in safety.

In parallel, Operational areas have been
reviewed. A full tender process for landscape
maintenance was completed, resulting in
the appointment of a new service provider

Ryan Horsman, Chairman, FWG Board of Directors
