On 16 September 2025, Ithegi Electronics hosted ProtecLink 2025 at the Polokwane Royal Hotel in Polokwane, South Africa. The conference brought together stakeholders from the security, finance and technology sectors.

It was a significant moment for the private security sector in South Africa. With regulators, business owners, technology vendors and finance partners in one room, there was an honest discussion of what it takes to transform the industry: not only upgrading the gadgets, but rethinking the workflows, the culture and the value delivered.
