Securico managing director, Dr Divine Ndhlukula has described her journey in founding and managing one of Zimbabwe’s leading security services companies as “exciting” and full of “splendour”. A prominent business leader who sits on the boards of many corporations, Dr Ndhlukula founded Securico on December 1, 1998, and has grown the business into an entity “that is an admiration to many locally and globally”. Speaking at a celebration ceremony, held on December 1, 2022, to mark the firm’s 24 years in existence, Dr Ndhlukula said the journey has had its “ups and downs”. “There are many different aspects on a journey, you go down the valley, you go up the mountain. You turn and go into gorges, that’s the journey we have travelled as Securico,” she said. Dr Ndhlukula said the dream and the vision were never to get this far, but were about giving a decent living to her “loved ones”. “That was the primary vision, that was the primary focus,” she said. “Secondly, obviously I thought it was an opportunity to get women coming into the sector previously thought to be not suitable for women. “So everything else that has come on board has been icing and cherries on a well-baked cake,” she said. The firm has managed to create 400 jobs every year for the past 11 years and now has 4 000 employees. Speaking at the same event board chairman Gloria Zvaravanhu said Securico was like an eagle that has soared higher than expected. Dr Ndhlukula said the kind of business they have on their books was testimony to the impact that the company has had. She said the wellness of citizens has always been a focus issue for the company despite other people questioning the decision by a security services company. Securico recently launched an industrial clinic to look after the physical and mental health of workers. The clinic, according to Dr Ndhlukula will be run by fully qualified staff including doctors. The plan was initially brought to the table seven years ago and finally came to life this year, said Dr Ndhlukula.

Securico, the company that Zimbabwe’s Divine Ndhlukula started in her cottage in the late 1990s with four employees and very little capital, has become one of her country’s largest security firms. According to her, perhaps the biggest barrier she had to face when she set it up was her gender. “Obviously, as a woman, people would not believe that I could run a security company – particularly with no security background,” she told the BBC’s series African Dream.
