Africa foot prints
AFRICA is a continent of extremes: an extremely passionate population, extreme climate a continent of conflicts over the basic need for survival and with high percentage of violent or contact crime. These challenges left Africa’s business man extremely vulnerable facing a wide range of threats direct, consequential and operational losses and has fuelled the boom in the country’s private security industry
