From Police Service To Blackbone Security :: Mmegi Online

After a year into the police service, Tlhabologo Furniture felt he cloud not carry on with the national duty. Furniture was a special constable with the Botswana Police Service (BPS) which he joined in December 2007. He walked into the Monitor Business offices last week to narrate his entrepreneurship story.

He has just left a company called Building Concept (Pty) Ltd where he worked as a labourer. Furniture, who hails from Siviya, joined Building Concept (Pty) Ltd after finishing his form five at Ledumang Senior Secondary School in 2005.

The young entrepreneur felt the little experience he acquired from the police could help him own a security company. He was granted a Certificate of Incorporation in 2008 to run the company, Blackbone Security (Pty) Ltd. Furniture could run his company while still employed with the police.
