In South Africa, security isn’t just a concern—it’s a daily reality. From business owners in urban centres to mining companies operating in remote regions, the need for reliable, professional guarding services has never been greater.
At Bekzon Security, we understand the unique risks facing South African businesses. Whether it’s protecting valuable assets, ensuring the safety of staff, or securing mining operations, our highly trained guards provide peace of mind in an unpredictable environment.
The Reality of Crime in South Africa
South Africa continues to struggle with high crime rates. According to the latest SAPS statistics, commercial crimes, armed robberies, and break-ins remain significant threats. Criminal syndicates often target business properties for goods, cash, and equipment—leading too costly losses and increased insurance premiums.
For the mining sector, the situation is even more dire. Illegal mining (commonly known as “Zama Zama’s”) not only poses a threat to legal operations but also endangers lives and contributes to local instability. Mines need specialized security strategies to guard against theft, sabotage, and unauthorised access.
Load Shedding and Infrastructure: A Perfect Storm for Crime
Rolling blackouts and load shedding have created an additional layer of risk. With alarm systems down and streets in darkness, criminals are quick to take advantage. Properties that are not manned during power outages become easy targets.
This is where physical guarding becomes a vital layer of defence. Our officers remain on-site regardless of power conditions, ensuring 24/7 surveillance and deterrence.
Why Professional Guarding is a Smart Investment
Hiring a licensed, professional security service is no longer a luxury—it’s a business necessity. Trained guards provide more than just a physical presence—they serve as eyes and ears on the ground, capable of responding to threats, reporting incidents, and maintaining access control.
At Bekzon Security, our team is vetted, PSIRA-registered, and trained to handle high-risk environments, especially in sectors like mining, manufacturing, and logistics.
