The management of PSIRA indicated that whilst the Private Security Industry Levies Act No 23 of 2002 was promulgated, it was never enforced. Therefore, the PSIRA did not need to seek the concurrence of the Minister of Finance. Following the introduction of the tariff increases in January 2012, legal action was instituted by the Security Industry Alliance (SIA) against the PSIRA, Minister of Police and the chairperson of the Council, to set aside the 2011 Annual Fee Regulations. The SIA indicated that the proposed annual fee increases were too high and threatened the financial viability of their organisations. (The fees are set out in section 5.3 of this paper). The management of PSIRA has admitted that there is a high probability that the court will set aside the 2011 Annual Fee Regulations.
