    ISO 9001 in Action: Accountability, Quality & Scaling a Security Training Business

    Send us a text What really happens when a security training organisation commits fully to ISO 9001 certification? In this episode of The Security Guide, we unpack what quality management looks like after certification, when compliance is no longer optional and accountability becomes part of daily operations. From documentation and audits to non-conformances, corrective actions, and cultural resistance, this conversation provides a rare, unfiltered look at how ISO 9001 reshapes an organisation from the inside out. Our guest shares first-hand insight into the realities of enforcing procedures, managing change, and confronting underperformance—while still scaling in a fast-growing post-COVID security industry. We explore why some staff fall off when systems are introduced, how customer feedback drives operational decisions, and how Wise Guy Academy rebuilt and stabilised critical departments through documented systems and continuous improvement. This episode is essential viewing for directors, quality managers, training providers, and anyone serious about building a compliant, scalable, and credible security business in South Africa and beyond. If you found value in this discussion, share it with someone considering ISO certification or looking to professionalise their operations. Support the show Thanks for tuning in to The Security Guy’d!

  5. Why Your Security Certificate Means Nothing Without a Course Report

    ١٩‏/١٢‏/٢٠٢٥

    Why Your Security Certificate Means Nothing Without a Course Report

    Send us a text In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood — and most critical — aspects of security training in South Africa: the Course Report. Many students believe that receiving a certificate means their training is complete. In reality, without a submitted course report, your grades are not uploaded, your registration cannot proceed, and your certificate may be meaningless. In this in-depth discussion, we cover: • What a course report is and why it matters  • The difference between certificates and course reports  • How E, D and C grades are submitted and processed  • Why some training centres fail — and how students get caught  • Red flags when choosing a security training provider  • Why “cheap specials” often come at a long-term cost  • How to verify your grades on the SIRA system  • What changed with the move to the online SIRA platform  • Why older grades may not reflect on your profile  • Certificate fraud, printing restrictions, and booking challenges  • Self-study vs in-class training — what’s legitimate and what’s not  • Which centres are accredited for self-study  • How instructor training really works (timelines, practicals, linking)  • How long it actually takes to become an accredited instructor  • RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) as an alternative pathway This episode is essential viewing for:  ✔ Security officers  ✔ Students considering E, D or C grades  ✔ Anyone struggling with missing SIRA grades  ✔ Aspiring instructors  ✔ Employers and training centre operators If you’ve ever been confused about your grades, certificates, or registration status — this episode will save you time, money, and frustration.

  6. Inside Cape Town’s Red Zones: A Battle Against Gangs & Poverty

    Inside Cape Town’s Red Zones: A Battle Against Gangs & Poverty

    Send us a text Inside Cape Town’s Red Zones: Devolving Power, Fighting Gangs & Rebuilding Communities | Security Guy’d Podcast In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Security Guy’d Podcast, host Rafi Musaji sits down with Ward 47 Councillor and Subcouncil 11 Chairperson, Alderman Antonio Van der Rheede — a lifelong Hanover Park resident, social activist, and veteran local government leader. Alderman Van der Rheede speaks candidly about the harsh realities of policing in Cape Town’s red zones, where communities are trapped between gang violence, systemic failures, and limited law enforcement powers. He explains how the Criminal Procedure Act restricts municipal law enforcement to crime prevention only, leaving investigations and prosecutions solely to SAPS — and why this gap results in dangerous repeat offenders being back on the streets within days. Drawing from lived experience, he reflects on the human cost of gang violence, including the trauma of burying children lost to shootings, and makes a compelling case for the devolution of policing powers to provinces and municipalities so that cities can act decisively alongside SAPS. Beyond policing, this episode unpacks: How local government actually works (wards, subcouncils, portfolios, and council)The role of subcouncils in bringing governance closer to communitiesMajor housing developments planned for Hanover Park after decades of delaysWomen-led safety forums and support groups tackling domestic violence and traumaYouth upliftment initiatives, from dance and sports to Scouts and leadership developmentCommunity-driven safety models, technology-driven crime prevention, and anti-extortion effortsThis is not a political soundbite — it is an on-the-ground perspective from someone who has lived the problem, buried the victims, and continues to fight for practical solutions. If you want to understand why communities are demanding change, what’s broken in the system, and what real reform could look like, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss. Watch. Listen. Share.
