Our Close Protection & Armed Bodyguard Services provide elite security for executives, diplomats, celebrities and high‑net‑worth families. Every agent is registered with South Africa’s Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) and undergoes continuous training in threat assessment, defensive driving, emergency medicine and hospitality. This service integrates seamlessly with our chauffeur, armoured‑vehicle and private‑jet solutions, ensuring you move confidently and securely—not just in South Africa but across the continent.
We deploy teams throughout Africa and coordinate with local authorities to ensure cultural sensitivity and legal compliance.
We recruit from the top tier of law‑enforcement and military backgrounds. Professionally trained bodyguards increased by more than 15 % between 2023 and 2024, and we select only the most experienced.
Our teams use specialised vehicles, secure communication systems and data‑driven risk assessment tools to stay ahead of evolving threats.
Before each assignment we conduct a detailed risk assessment, map safe routes and prepare contingency plans using predictive modelling and real‑time intelligence.
Agents operate with diplomacy and tact, blending into the environment while maintaining vigilance. We coordinate seamlessly with chauffeurs, armoured vehicles and private jets.
South Africa’s private security industry is vast — over 608 000 registered security officers compared to 150 388 police employees — and proposed regulations now limit firearm types for close protection (handguns or shotguns).
Our close‑protection teams can be deployed anywhere in Africa. Whether you’re in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Lagos or Nairobi, we provide local expertise and integrate with regional infrastructure to protect you across borders.
