South African executives are increasingly turning to private security companies for tactical escorts and high-level protection as kidnappings and blue-light crimes surge, particularly in Gauteng.

Phangela Group, a private security provider, said that demand for tactical escort services in unmarked vehicles has reached record levels as business leaders adapt to more sophisticated threats.

“Executive threats are no longer opportunistic but coordinated,” said Chris Thornhill, CEO of Phangela Group.
