State-owned company Sentech, which distributes broadcast signals for radio and television, is in the market for sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to patrol South Africa's borders. Sentech hopes to create fleet of drones that can take off by themselves and alert human operators to anomalies that could mean an attempted illegal crossing or other incursion. It also wants the drones to be able to issue warnings automatically, along the lines of "move away from the boundary, you are entering a restricted area". Meanwhile, back in a control room, operators would have access to live, high-definition video of what is going on, possibly augmented with data from sensors using everything from lasers to radar to create a detailed view of any event. Ideally, Sentech says, its drones will have a range of capabilities making them useful for applications that include "security & defence", but none of its detailed specifications speak to a weapons platform. South Africa has very porous borders with several of its neighbouring countries including Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and sees thousands of people crossing illegally each week. https://www.businessinsider.co.za/business/sentech-wants-to-buy-autonomous-uavs-for-border-patrols-2020-8

lol That's actually not funny. I don't think the drones are just for yelling. But nothing will stop people desperate to escape a bad life. And criminals know that, so they use these people for drug trafficking and other crime. Part of that is ensuring they cross the border. 1 Like |

heniford2: South Africans were not entering those countries illegally. Today, it has a very welcoming policy towards asylum seekers who are sought by their brutal governments back home. And here I'm not talking about economic refugees. 1 Like |

heniford2: Some South Africans are just quite ignorant, I'm just tired of seeing anything related to SA. They should keep their country to themselves, I wish all foreigners could flee, including those whites, just watch how vulnerable those drug addicts would be, having their country to themselves. |
