Mogapaesi who has worked as a security guard got the inspiration from the experience he got on the field, adding that his desire to help fight crime in the country.
“After completing my studies, I worked at several security companies as a guard despite my qualifications. I then saw a niche and got inspired to start my own security company and add more services that I found most companies do not offer,” he said.
Currently Kagisanang Security Forces has two major clients, Gaborone Hotel and Shop wise, a clothing shop located at the bus rank, which are serviced by 10 guards. They also won a tender to offer security services at the “Pens Down” event last year. According to Mogapaesi, their mission is to protect and empower the local community by providing security that detects crime and keep safe.
“We also provide our clients with physical and information on security solutions that allow them to feel confident with regard to personal safety and asset protection, whilst striving to provide superior and exceptional security services across the board; making you our first priority,” he said.
Their services includes, servicing Access Control, provide roaming guards, alarm response and monitoring, retail guarding or venue security, security technology, car park guarding, body guards, bouncers services and investigations services.
“Our ethic is to ensure that your peace of mind is at the highest possible level by providing quality security services. To achieve this, we carefully select our staff to suit the company culture and ethics of putting our client’s security first. We give superior training and foster teamwork and unity,” he said.
He said that to encourage staff loyalty, they chose to give preference to selecting staff from the local communities who are cleared of criminal records.
“Staff initiatives, team building meetings are held to encourage staff to put forward ideas and suggestions to improve the overall performance and effectiveness of the staff and company.”
Mogapaesi said that their future initiatives would include skills development and incentive programmes to allow for staff to find their niche within the company.
“Long term, we envisage that our company should institutionalise the security profession,” he said.
