The goal of this study was to explore the effectiveness of existing safety and security
measures at OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) in crime prevention. The value
of ORTIA was established in terms of tourism and a healthy economy. However, the
study was premised on the risks and vulnerabilities at ORTIA which manifest in crime
taking place at the airport.
The study used a quantitative research methodology and established the study as
explorative and descriptive. A non-experimental and randomised cross-sectional
research design was used. Through random sampling, a total of 100 participants
contributed to the study and yielded a representative percentage of 36%. Data were
collected through online self-administered questionnaires from security personnel
employed at ORTIA. Data were analysed through descriptive analysis and efforts were
made to ensure validity and reliability as well as adhering to ethical considerations.
The main findings revealed that the airport is fairly safe and the most
problematic crimes taking place at ORTIA were reported to be theft, mishandled
baggage, Automated Teller Machine (ATM) crimes, burglary, robbery, illegal
immigrants and smuggling of drugs. Most participants had witnessed a crime at ORTIA
that mostly included theft, ATM crimes and robbery. Most of the participants reported
the crimes and confirmed that action was taken against the crimes. Moreover, crime
prevention and intervention strategies were proposed by the participants.
The study achieved its aim by achieving its objectives. Thus, the nature and extent of
crime committed at ORTIA were achieved. Also, the existing safety and security
measures at ORTIA were established. Finally, recommendations were made for
ORTIA based on the theoretical and empirical findings of the study. No research study
is exempt from limitations thus the limitations of the study were outlined and
recommendations for future research were proposed. Through the holistic
understanding of the dissertation, it can be concluded that safety and security were
explored to inform crime prevention at ORTIA.
Injongo yolu phononongo ibikukuphicotha/ukuhlola impumelelo yamanyathelo akhoyo
okhuselo nokhuseleko kwisikhululo senqwelomoya saMazwe ngaMazwe i-OR Tambo
(ORTIA) ekuthinteleni ulwaphulo-mthetho. Uxabiseko le-ORTIA lamiselwa
ngokwezokhenketho kunye noqoqosho oluphilileyo. Nangona kunjalo, uphononongo
lwalusekelwe kumngcipheko kunye nobuthathaka e-ORTIA obubonakala kulwaphulomthetho
olwenzeka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
Uphononongo lusebenzise indlela yophando yobuninzi kwaye lwamisela
uphononongo njengoluphicothayo/oluhlolayo kunye noluchazayo. Kusetyenziswe
uyilo lophando olungenamfuniselo/olungenalingelo nolungenamkhethe.
Ngokusebenzisa iisampulu ezingacwangciswanga, inani lilonke labathathi-nxaxheba
abali-100 babanegalelo kuphononongo kwaye bavelise ipesenti emele i-36%. Idatha
yaqokelelwa ngokusebenzisa iphepha lemibuzo elizilawulayo nge-intanethi ivela
kubasebenzi bokhuseleko abaqeshwe e-ORTIA. Idatha yacalulwa ngokohlalutyo
oluchazayo kwaye zenziwa iinzame zokuqinisekisa ukunyaniseka nokuthembeka
kunye nokubambelela kwiingcamango zokuziphatha.
Iziphumo eziphambili zophononongo ziveze ukuba isikhululo seenqwelomoya
sikhuseleke ngokufanelekileyo kwaye ezona zenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ziyingxaki
ezenzeka e-ORTIA kunikwe ingxelo ngazo bubusela, imithwalo engaphathwanga
kakuhle, ulwaphulo-mthetho koomatshini abakhupha imali (ATM), ukuqhekeza,
ukukhuthuza, abangeneleli ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nokuthutyeleziswa
kweziyobisi. Uninzi lwabathathi-nxaxheba babone ulwaphulo-mthetho e-ORTIA
olubandakanya ikakhulu ubusela, ulwaphulo-mthetho lwe-ATM kunye nokukhuthuza.
Uninzi lwabathathi-nxaxheba lunike ingxelo yolwaphulo-mthetho kwaye baqinisekisa
ukuba kwenziwa okuthile malunga nolwaphulo-mthetho. Ngaphezu koko,uthintelo
lolwaphulo-mthetho nezicwangciso-qhinga zokuthintela ulwaphulo-mthetho
zacetyiswa ngabathathi-nxaxheba.
Uphononongo lwaphumumelela ukufezekisa iinjongo zalo. Ngoko ke, uhlobo
nobungakanani bolwaphulo-mthetho obenziwe e-ORTIA bafumaneka. Kwakhona,
amanyathelo akhoyo okhuseleko kunye nokhuselo e-ORTIA asekwa. Ekugqibeleni,
izindululo zenzelwa i-ORTIA ngokusekwe kwiziphuma zethiyori kunye nezisekelwe
kumava ophando. Akukho sifundo sophando singenamida ngoko ke imida
yophononongo yachazwa kwaye izindululo zophando lwexesha elizayo zacetyiswa.
Ngokuqondwa ngokupheleleyo kwethisisi, kunokufikelelwa kwisigqibo sokuba ukhuselo nokhuseleko lwaphononongwa ukuze kufunyanwe iindlela zokuthintela
ulwaphulo-mthetho e-ORTIA.
