Despite the huge numbers they employ security companies have been dogged by unprofessionalism largely due to the fact that only physical fitness has been used to employ security guards.
Thanks to the newly accredited security institute at WayGard, individuals and corporates, can now enrol for a variety of security courses, that include, crime and accident investigations, basic security course, security management principle, security leadership development programme, corporate governance, risk management, forensic investigations,
WayGard Security CEO Phenyo Gothaang says all his staff will undergo training at the centre as well, as part of instilling professionalism.
He added that a caring and responsible corporate entity must take joy in up skilling its workforce as well as keeping them motivated. Gothaang said his company is in the final process of securing medical aid and funeral aid cover for their staff.
As they received their accreditation certificate from the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA), WayGard also unveiled their spacious WayGard training room, which will house the training programmes.
WayGard Security received an international award for excellence and leadership from Global Trade Leaders at a ceremony in Spain.
It has been one fantastic news after the other at the oldest citizen owned Security Company which recently received the international award for excellence and leadership from Global Trade Leaders in Spain.
They also recently launched a new and unique secure alarm monitoring and response system at Block 10 in Gaborone.
Their response service, which is one to three minutes, will be beefed up by the use of trained dogs when responding particularly during the night.
WayGard Security prides itself as the founders of private security in Botswana 40 years ago, resulting in security guards being nicknamed Ma-WayGard regardless of which security company they were working for.
WayGard Securities Director Owen Khupe Bothongo still remembers with pride the legacy of his father Peterson Bothongo, who founded the company after quitting his then job as a police officer.
Today they have offices in Gaborone, Lobatse, Kanye, Palapye, Selebi-Phikwe, Jwaneng, Maun, Francistown, Kasane, where their services include manned guarding, secure alarm monitoring & response, events security, training, and K9 Unit.
