RISK ADVISORY

Potential Disruptions Due to Planned and Unplanned Demonstrations

Excellerate Services advises all clients and staff of
potential disruptions associated with planned and unplanned
demonstrations expected to take place on Tuesday, 07 October
2025.

Applicable risks include:

• Intimidation,
  loitering, and heavy pedestrian movement in key urban areas
• Barricading
  of roads and/or road closures due to high protest attendance
• Sporadic
  incidents of vandalism and property damage
• Potential
  disruptions to public transport networks

These activities may result in delays, staff
absenteeism, or late arrivals, particularly in areas where marches and
gatherings occur.

While previous demonstrations — such as COSATU’s one-day
strike actions — have seen limited incidents of violence, the
possibility of sporadic unrest remains, especially in
communities expressing dissatisfaction over socio-economic challenges such
as high unemployment, crime, and inadequate service delivery.

Precautionary Measures:

• Monitor
  local news and traffic advisories for updates on protest routes and
  affected areas.
• Avoid
  known protest locations where possible.
• Allow
  additional travel time for commuting staff.
• Report
  any security-related incidents immediately to the Excellerate Command
  Centre on 0860 11 00 11

Excellerate Services continues to monitor the situation
closely and will provide further updates as necessary.
