Dear KSS Clients

Tribute to Kevin Wright – Taylored Wright
KSS would like to pay tribute to Kevin Wright and acknowledge his contribution to KSS and our community. Kevin worked alongside and supported Debbie Preston in the establishment of the UCSI (Umngeni Community Safety Initiative) in 2018, which has proven to be a successful community project and continues to yield positive results today. Kevin was also part of the team that supported KSS creatively with design work and signage over the years. Kevin was a kind, sensible and visionary man who was an inspiration to work with. Our condolences to Kevin’s wife, children and family. He touched many lives, all for the better, and his work in our community will continue to keep us all safer. Rest in peace Kevin – it was always a pleasure working with you.

Walking at night
Please be aware and also alert family, friends and employees about their safety when walking at night (at any time actually). It is best to walk in groups if possible and stay vigilant at all times, keeping bags close and cell phones tucked away so that you do not become a target.
