Executive Protection in Johannesburg: Security for Mining, Finance and Business
Johannesburg is Africa's financial engine, home to the JSE (Africa's largest stock exchange), the head offices of major mining companies and the continent's busiest private equity scene. The Blackwolf Group Global provides executive protection for clients attending Mining Indaba, the Africa CEO Forum and investment meetings with Naspers, AngloGold and Implats.
Risk in Johannesburg is raised. Business leaders are targeted for kidnap and ransom, carjacking gangs work the N1 and N3 highways, and homes in Sandton, Hyde Park and Waterfall need serious security.

Threat picture
Johannesburg at the elevated risk band
Johannesburg carries real risk: international visitors can be targeted, and wealthy guests are often watched. When officials are involved in a visit, planning gets more complex. From the moment you confirm, our team checks your routes and venues before you arrive and writes a daily threat brief, updated throughout the job.
Our risk briefings draw on public information, what we learned on earlier jobs in the area, and regular contact with trusted local partners. If the risk changes while we protect you, the team is told straight away.
