Agri Securitas strives for a safer rural environment by supporting local security projects that are aimed at preventative measures and post-implementation maintenance

After the Rural Safety Summit held on 10 October 1998, the Trust Fund was established as an initiative of Agri SA. The initiative was supported by former president Nelson Mandela and serves as an ideal partner in the fight against rural crime. The Trust Fund focuses on making financial assistance available to farming communities to improve their safety. An important aspect when considering the funding of projects is the cooperation that exists between the local community and the South African Police Service (SAPS). All projects that are supported must also comply with the legal framework and institutional modus operandi. Since the Trust Fund does not have the necessary executive capacity, it executes its mandate via other organisations such as farmer associations.

The trust deed makes provision for a board of trustees with no more than 12 members. As a rule, when appointing trustees, the current professional work status of candidates is taken into account.

The Trust Fund received an unqualified report from its auditors. The board is responsible for the content and integrity of the financial statements. The board, which is responsible for the approval of the statements, expressed its appreciation for the work that the Audit Committee performs on behalf of the Trust Fund.
