Love, Community & Security

The UmhlangaMarch 2, 2025

Umhlanga is more than just a sought-after destination—it’s a thriving, connected community where families, businesses, and visitors come together to enjoy the best of coastal living. Whether strolling along the vibrant promenade, enjoying a beachfront wedding, or celebrating special moments with loved ones, safety plays a vital role in ensuring that these experiences remain positive and worry-free.

A Commitment to Safety in Every Season

Much like love, security is built on trust, vigilance, and a proactive approach. The holiday season and wedding celebrations bring joy and excitement but also present heightened security concerns, from an increase in foot traffic to potential opportunistic crime.

Safety Tips for Visitors and Locals Alike

If you’re visiting Umhlanga for a wedding, holiday, or simply a weekend getaway, here are a few tips to ensure your experience remains safe and stress-free:

  • Secure Your Accommodation: Ensure doors and windows are locked when leaving your residence.
  • Stay Aware in Public Spaces: Keep valuables out of sight and avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
  • Use Trusted Transport Services: Opt for registered taxis or rideshare apps when travelling at night.
  • Know Your Emergency Contacts: Save 086 162 7732—our emergency number—so you have access to help whenever needed.
  • Follow Beachfront Safety Precautions: Stay in well-lit areas, be cautious of strong currents, and avoid isolated spots at night.

A Growing Community with Safer Streets

Over the past year, crime rates in Durban North have dropped by 15%, thanks to proactive crime prevention strategies, advanced surveillance technology, and community collaboration. Our presence in Umhlanga has been instrumental in making this progress possible, and we continue to strengthen our efforts to ensure a safer future for residents and visitors alike.

Built with Love, Protected with Care

Security may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about love and celebrations, but it plays a crucial role in creating an environment where people can come together without fear. Whether it’s a wedding at one of Umhlanga’s stunning venues or a beachfront proposal at sunset, our mission is to safeguard those special moments.

At Marshall Security, we believe in protecting what matters most—your family, your home, your business, and your memories. As a locally owned and operated business, we take pride in serving the community we live in and love.
