Why bodyguards in Cape Town?
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and luxury lifestyle. However, there are real security risks that make hiring a bodyguard a smart decision. South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world, and Cape Town, despite its wealthier areas, is no exception. Many high-profile residents and visitors in Cape Town already use private security. Having a bodyguard isn’t unusual, it’s often expected.
