Director Pierre Conradie

When Mr Conradie took over ALPHA Security, it was a small company comprising of 27 guards and it has now grown to one of the biggest security companies in Zululand and one of the biggest in KZN. They currently employ over 700 guards in our Hluhluwe, Richards Bay, Empangeni, Eshowe, and Mtunzini sections, a lot of whom are ex-military servicemen. The company has 109 vehicles deployed over the area. The company is run according to a strict disciplinary code and along strict disciplinary lines. The guards are registered with PSIRA and are paid according to their recommended PSIRA wage scale. Alpha makes use of ex-SADF and SAP members to run the operations.

Since being taken over, ALPHA has seen unprecedented growth, notwithstanding a policy of limited advertising. Our best advertisement is a satisfied client. Ninety percent of the work we get is through referrals from satisfied clients. ALPHA’S mission is to do all the security work from Durban up to the Mozambique border. If a stable environment can be established and maintained, our area can become one of the prime tourist destinations in Southern Africa.
