Security operator wanting to test G20 readiness arrested at Nasrec
Executive Summary
Authorities arrested Jimmy Roodt, operations director at Gauntlet Security Solutions in Johannesburg, for trespassing at the Nasrec complex, the venue for South Africa's G20 Leaders’ Summit on November 22-23, after he attempted to 'test' the country's security readiness. Roodt, who recently criticized OR Tambo International Airport's bomb detection protocols on LinkedIn, claimed his actions exposed security shortcomings. Government spokesperson William Baloyi dismissed the incident as a stunt to spread falsehoods, noting South Africa has hosted over 130 G20 preparatory meetings without incident. The arrest demonstrates law enforcement's preparedness to secure the summit and all delegates.
