South Africa’s airports may lack bomb safety measures ahead of the G20, risking public safety.
South Africa’s major airports and public venues may be unprepared for bomb threats ahead of the G20 Summit, according to explosives expert Jimmy Roodt.
He warns current emergency protocols, based on fire evacuation plans, could increase casualties by exposing people to shrapnel.
Key facilities lack blast barriers, proper shelters, and safe assembly points, with some located within 25 to 65 meters of potential blast zones.
Roodt says reliance on outdated fire safety standards instead of international aviation security rules violates ICAO Annex 17.
While national agencies cite security secrecy, experts stress that without immediate action to implement bomb-specific safety measures, public safety remains at serious risk during high-profile events.
