I agree, but then why did you state in your BH affidavit that you shouted to Reeva to phone the police? According to your BH affidavit, you shouted twice to Reeva to phone the police. The police wouldn't have been immediately present to protect you, either. The police would have taken much longer to arrive. Estate security would have arrived much quicker than the police.
I don't know if security is armed or authorized to make arrests.
And even if you're going to shoot an intruder you still want the police to come because someone could be hurt and need medical attention, there might be a burglar who needs to be arrested etc.
But putting myself in his shoes in this scenario, I would be yelling call the police to let the burglar know that he's not going to get away with this cuz the police are on their way - hoping it would scare them away or something.
