Many of Botswana’s leading companies count on Waygard for their security needs, including BCL Mine, Sefalana, Choppies, Air Liquide, GABCON, SPEDU and others. Phenyo Gothaang says confidently, “Waygard Security has invested in its human capital and technologies, including its alarm systems, and we employ the best guards in Botswana. Waygard provides the best security services that money can buy.”
