- Couriers of valuables like cigarettes, cellphones and cash transport these items behind thick glass and steel but is this kind of protection within reach of regular motorists? eNCA’s Barry Bateman paid a visit to an armour fitment factory just outside Pretoria to find out. Courtesy #DStv403
I am from Cape Town and I bullet proof all my vehicles years ago and got myself a firearm after I witnessed a brutal smash and grab happening to the vehicle right in front of me at a robot. My family, friends and wife called me crazy but look where we are today... I always knew it would come to the point where us civilians would have to bullet proof our every day vehicles and take action to defend ourselves and our families. I know not all of us can afford to bullet proof our vehicles but if u can I would suggest u do it immediately or at least get a legal gun and go for proper training because these are sad and trying times for us South Africans. These thugs won't think twice about taking a life just for some chump change. Its either ur life or thrs.
I second that.
Where do you go and bullet proof your vechials?
Prayers to you . I am a white South African boer living in California. I’ve been shot before in the streets , and I had to drive myself to the hospital.. it’s also a war zone in California. Stay strong hey ? Sending love and strength to you .
Plus or minus, how much does it cost to fully armor a vehicle?
I presume you also have run flat tires.
It's sad to know that this is slowly becoming our reality and a norm.
True
Sickening really... and then we're in the top 5 most taxed countries in the world. South Africa poor? Cmon. Right?
True bro
Its not if you armour your car its only making you a target if it was a norm everyone would he doing it which they aren’t because they aren’t transporting valuables armoured cars is only used for if they already know your a target I would know My family works in Gold and Diamond trade we got 2 armoured vehicles and we still dont consider it a norm
@Black Diamond Syria ruri
And don't forget an engine upgrade or tune to handle all that extra weight
Stonks.
Not nessesary, but a good option if you wanna keep performance the same.
Great company and guys to work with. I remember when they started out and had to export their product(s). Just goes to show how deep SA has submerged into the cesspit.
whats the company name?
@@sean8375 SVI Engineering
The USA isn’t far behind.
@@LuckyCharms777 isolated areas, yes, as in any country. But not to the extent or a wide spread. Fortunately, the majority of Americans still take pride in their country and what they have.
I’m going to bulletproof my new Bajaj Qute
😂😂
This a must in South Africa
lmao this happens all over the world. Russia? US? hahaha noob.
@@moosesnWoop it's still a must in SA.
@@louisevanderlinde8590 not really - unless you're transporting cash or high value goods
@@moosesnWoop he right, Its a must in SA. They'll high jack your car to use it in a robbery regardless, that mentality will get in trouble. It just not safe for a normal citizen anymore.
SA is not just Durban & Gauteng where such crimes are rampant.
You certainly don't need that in most Provinces.
How did we end up here my fellow South Africans?
I think you know the answer to this question .I would just use one word to answer you.Sin
@@christdiedforoursins8985 I agree with you. We are living in the last days. Sin has taken over our country.
Lol easy, poverty as a result frm apartheid.
@@frontlinenetwork9995 kinda true 50/50
kak government.
I got Robby and Josh’s numbers. All good thanks.
Lol
Imagine promoting a business over focusing on the actual problem at hand.
Talk about a duct tape solution.
I'm actually shocked this isn't worrisome to the general public. Means crimes is now a MASSIVE problem in SA.
Praying to one day have enough money to pay for this.
Now the criminals will come with rocket launchers
😂
They wont destroy a car they need to sell lol😂.
Haai maan have some positivity 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes we must protect our lives👌
Send me your cod m name

What a lovely country to live in
What country?
Damn... I want this lol. But at the same time, I don't really want to own a car in South Africa😭🤣🤣🤣
As unfortunate as the situation that creates the need,
I praise engineers who engineer solutions for problems in their environment as it should be.
A lot of engineering students unfortunately become maintenance workers for imported products when they should be inventing things that solve problems.
I saw another engineer working in Anti-theft tech for banks and ATMs.
Some other engineer was working on remote engine switches for Anti-auto theft solutions.
Horrible situation but opportunity for human innovation here to become Anti-theft tech capital of the world.
This should be a standard feature in vehicles sold in South Africa.
Wait until robbers puts bullets proof shields as well
robbers don't use their own cars to commit crimes. it is also not easy for them to go hijack an armoured car bcoz the armour on passenger vehicles is discreet
The ANC has failed to govern this country, failing to protect citizens from harm is failure to govern. It saddens me that many South Africans continue to keep these selfish people in power.
"Your honor, he hit my car and broke my left door" "Your honer, my vehicle has no dents and scratches on it (armored vehicle😂)"
I want this for all my cars thank you very much
If you are in security sector or often carry large amounts of money, yes get the armor. But if you are just scared and want extra protection don't do it. More security tells the criminal you have money. The more extravagant the protection the more they think you have valuables and money thus making you more of a target. This goes for cameras outside the house, rather have them inside the property. Just saying!✌🏾
I disagree. External cameras and lighting have deterred criminals from entering my premises for the last 20 years, prior to which I was hit every month.
@@jimmcdougall9973 I cannot disagree with your lived experience, however my take on the matter was from people I grew up with who became criminals. They would often tell us, that when you have external security measures, they then see more money, and more preparedness. This increases their expectation of resistance, whilst also increasing the expectations of "the big score". Thus making it more likely for them to use shock and awe tactics, meaning more violence and direct contact. However, if what you are doing is working, that's awesome keep doing it I would never say stop. God bless. May you continue to stay safe. 🙏🏾
Cameras are cheap now to install. I have 10 wireless solar cameras that gives good overview of outside of my home and upload videos to the cloud. Nobody tried to break in into mine and I have several neighbors who have their houses robbed. I don't have any cash or jewelry inside my house but potential robbers don't know that.
@@victor_lar yes, I think it’s all about making it as difficult as possible for the criminal. They will always find a way around security measures, if they are desperate. We just buy some more precious time to do something about it, instead of waking up with him standing over you.
@@Slayer-kx5fz Not really, same thing I asked a friend of mine, would you rather protect and defend yourself or call the police hiding in a closet when your wife is being strangled in that very moment 😂 He went to get his gun license a week after
Gonna bulletproof my Mongoose bike bra🤙. Won't be able to ride it but its gonna be safe...from bullets at least.
Just a matter of time until these criminals will be given a list of who's vehicles are armoured or not...they will steal your Armoured vehicles just to commit another crime....
Very true
If the cops know about them then the criminals know about them. The same seems to be true about firearms.
OMG‼️🙈MAD MAX‼️🤦🏼♀️🇿🇦
How much is it, I think I'll win the lottery before the end of this year, so I'ma need a personal bodyguard and the amoured vehicle soon ...
If you win you tell no one.
Dont waste your money bruv. Simply buy a low risk car.
😂😂😆
Thats next level zombie apocalypse cars
These inserts are problematic because now criminals are also watching and that will compromise security. Criminals will also want these vehicles and will cause havoc! They will simply wait for you to get out of the car, point you with a gun and take the keys. Somethings are best left unreported!
Yeah so I was thinking they will just start using RPG's now.
But perhaps the vehicles will be discreet once done up?
Ek het die selfde gedink, hulle weet nou die fabriek is in Pretoria. Niks keer hulle om sommer een daar te gaan haal nie
@@pieterwillemse981
The facility can probably be used as a honey trap and the scum can be culled considerably. Though I doubt criminals would invest R1M toward a vehicle that they could lose on the first attempted job.
Well I doubt these legitimate companies will work with criminals not to mention they almost always use stolen cars
How we contact them ?
I've been in a suv when the windows got shot out it's loud and abrupt
So sorry to hear, was it an armoured SUV?
They should put automatic weapons on the side of the doors to slide out Incase of emergency
Why not flamethrowers too while you're at it?
That guys name is Jacko de kock 🤣🤣🤣
You have a nice contry 😮
Ask your ppl where did they get the ammo!!!
omg ....the price is that of another vehicle ...shewwwww.
The removed the scorpion's and here we are years later
Just remember those people watch tv also
Not the ultimate.., defense driving is still required.
The country we live in is full of criminals,I miss the olden days, criminals were dealt with back then but now they are ruling South Africa.(SMH)
what company is this?
CHICAGO
That's really hot though
Why should we have to in the first place...😡
Taxi bosses come see this
I’m like it’s prolly R30K but R200K jeez
Not true I know of someone who paid 400k to get it done. You won't know it's an armored suv but just take a shot and you will quickly see your eyes.
@@leroypharezsias4064 the R200k ones are the non discreet armuor used by security industry
South Africa is strange
Can we do this on a golf mk1 🤔✌🏼
🤣
Why are you disclosing this information, this criminal will do they're own research how to breakthrough a bulletproof 😢
They're marketing their business
@@ephraimnetshidzivhe and criminals will sought a loophole
@@kabelokabelo4084 absolutely
South Africa is dangerous place to live in.
Not only its expensive but it will slow down your car if you really need to get away
Sucks that our own countries leaders are not committing to apprehend these criminals. Tax payers are leaving or losing their lives.
😂 it's only the rich that they target. So for the rest of us, we sleep a whole lot easier... 😂
What if you get caught up in the crossfire?! Bullets don't stop midway just to check if you're the real target
It’s only a matter of time before they expand their market. If things continue as they are, we really are heading in the wrong direction.
Looks like there are advantages in being broke🤣🤣😎😎😎
@@bonganiskosana5114 they can only expand unto those that have bro. Us without have nothing compared to the rich and the government so the obvious targets are not us. We don't own banks, supermarkets, farms, mines ect. Don't ever forget what Cyril allowed SAPS to do to the miners at Marikana, and that was over money. Know who your REAL enemy is.
@@DidierDubz What I mean is even that little that the poor have, it will be stolen from them. Do you know the pain of losing a R150 cellphone when it's your last hope of getting a job or running a form of a business. How about losing a bicycle that is used for traveling to go and look for work? There is no one who is not affected by crime. This is what I mean when I say they'll expand their target market, in which case it'll screw a lot of people. The rich, middleclass, poor, and poor of the poorest. A granny who gets mugged from her government pension who is looking after some children, the chain is far too long for this to be ignored.
What about hatchbacks
You're promoting your business to make money. Find the solution on what is the cause of these heists
To many children
what have you done in this world,you are childish
@Mr Random does that offering minimize crime?
This business is focused on offering a protective product to its client in an unpredictable world and country. They are not the government and hence not responsible to address the cause of crime (or "these heists"). They are adressing the safety aspect of the result of a heist. You are talking to the wrong people about the right issue. If you are so passionate about finding the cause, how about speak to the government? Better yet, how about you find the solution? Not your responsibility, right? Exactly. Same as them. We should think before we ink.
@@moetikitso72 I do get your opinion in this case . Just to correct you crime affects all of us not the government which is us aswell. They can install that bulletproof glass or material to the vehicle but that doesn't mean those guys will stop what they are doing whenever they want that cash . Im not against the company but the idear is not good. It is actually make those guys to be very aggressive when approaching cash in transit vehicles . So my suggestion is to find a solution to end this thing
Welcome to south africa
Trust me they'll find a way to get in, Maybe bazookas
Can you also add a super charger to help that engine hall all that extra weight around🙃
Yep
do you supercharge your car if your happen to be carrying four adult passengers on a regular basis?
We need to add a line in our national anthem about God eliminating all the criminals and corrupt officials. We've received the notoriety but for some crazy things.
Bateman…or Batman??!😮
This only comes down to the type of vehicle you buy....YES...The Toyota Tougherer, Ford Ranger, Amarok V6, Nissan Navara, Toyota Fortuner & these big cars look good for sure.....but they really put your life at stake....
It's better to buy good cars like Mazdas, mid class Toyotas, Chevrolet, Kia, Hyundai etc....these cars keep you 95% away from car theft danger....
VWs like Golf 5, 6, 7 & 8 are hijacked & sold locally....BMWs like X5, X6, M2, M4 are usually hijacked & sold locally also..... Mercedes like A Class, C Class like A45, C63 & G Class G63 are also hijacked & sold locally........Audi's are not typically hijacked but if they hijack em they usually target AUDI A1, A3, S3, RS3....
All in all guys...we should stay away from all these big cars because they bring along alot of jealousy from neighbors, family members, relatives, enemies & friends....which puts your life at stake or in danger...jus becauee of a fancy car🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️...is it worth it guys??
There's different reasons why different cars get targeted, so no car is safe. The ones that top the list in terms of numbers tend to be cars that are all over the place, which means you can blend in, but with discreet armour you have the comfort of knowing that you will have a chance to escape if one day something happens
the fact that there is even a market for this is fucking sad
so sad that people have to live in a world where this is almost a necessity
God and my ancestors will protect me! No guns, body guards and bulletproofs.
With that approach you won't need them to protect you because you'll be an ancestor sooner than you think 😕😂
@@itumelengmahaole5890 I survived the worst! My ancestors don't eat pap & vleis, I will only become an ancestor when the bell from heaven rings and not because of some human being on this earth. I have had bullets flying over my shoulders over the years and I'm still alive and kicking today.
God does not recognise ancestors.
@@moetikitso72 you are in serious darkness and troubled. Ancestors are angels of God
@@richardmashamaite4857 Really? Your source?
No car is safe in South Africa
Issue is the criminals now can afford amoured vehicles
How sad what South Africa has become
We are becoming like Mexico
@@mduntsele no, Mexico is a much better country. South Africa can get off their soap box, the place is now the worst in the world.
That's why I traded my hilux for a bajaj cute. It's not safe to own a vehicle in SA anymore
What if the baddy chucks a hand grenade or sticky grenade?
😂 it's not gta online, they gon destroy what they wanted
😂😂 GTA
This isn't Call of Duty lol
Those bullet proof vehicles are usually bomb proof as well with blast protection.
For everyone thinking of investing in armoured vehicles just know that your making yourself a target
Companies only armour their vehicles if they cant hide the fact that they are a target (if you cant hide it then you better be armoured)
But for normal citizens that aren’t escorting these type of valuables armour would just make you a target to trigger happy criminals because then it would make it look like your escorting valuables when your not
My parents company work with valuables items and have 2 armoured vehicles one is not heavily armoured to make it look more like a normal vehicle for smaller loads of valuables and the other is heavily armoured for big loads that cant be hidden
This seems untrue. How would ordinary random criminals know your specific vehicle was bulletproof, and why would you be randomly targeted if you had not previously advertised to the world you were having your car bulletproofed?
@@Evangelionism maybe he has forgotten that anyone who can afford a car is a target of kidnapping or hijacking in South Africa, they keep you for hours and clean your accounts. the modus operandi normally involves targeting a victim whilst they are inside the car, armour will help you escape.
Its a shame that it has came to this
Soooo, what happenes if the thiefs get bulletproof vehicles?
not easy to do since it is difficult to know which car is armoured. thieves only use stolen cars by the way
I don’t even own a car what am I do doing here
Then you tell us we should disarm ? You are mad !!
Only rich people will afford this, imagine a glass of a million rand
Imagine driving 1million car without a bulletproof
Drug cartels in Mexico and central and south America makes them.
oh the masks aaaa
criminals also watching this video😓😥
People who do these things are people who tried to be something in life but failed. Iike some of us, tried to a UA-camr but failed but thanks to god am studying. Let’s keep on going
Good news to the criminals now they can also own bullet proof Cars too bad for SAPS
Can't bulletproof your tires
Run flat
Okay assault riffles 🙄 not buying a car anytime soon
PG Glass cant even manufacture thst thing 🤦🏿🤦🏿
The same guys doing the bullet proof are the same who'll crack the code of how to get through.
I beg to differ, a bulletproof is meant to protect you against a bullet. So what you are saying is that those guys will invent guns that can shoot and penetrate through a bulletproof?
Bring back the death penalty and then see how much crime will will drop
Not with the flawed justice system and corrupt government, it can result in innocent people being executed.
Absolute joke
