SECURICO Celebrates Dedication and Excellence at Annual Awards Ceremony and Family Fun Day

Gilbert Munetsi – Zim Now Writer

One of the country’s leading security services providers, Securico, recently hosted its much-anticipated Annual Awards Ceremony and Family Fun Day, marking another milestone in its journey of recognising excellence, loyalty, and community spirit within the organisation.

The event brought together staff, families, and distinguished guests for a day packed with celebration, sports, and heartfelt recognition. The highlight of the day was the honouring of 241 exceptional employees who have dedicated 10, 15, 20, and 25 years of service to SECURICO—a powerful testament to the company’s culture of commitment and the enduring bonds it fosters among its people.

In a moving address, the company’s Managing Director, Dr. Divine Simbi-Ndhlukula, announced a ground-breaking new housing loan initiative for employees who have served the company for over 20 years.

“These individuals have played a pivotal role in our success, and it is only fitting that we reward their sacrifices with the opportunity to build a secure future for themselves,” she said, her words met with enthusiastic applause.

The day was filled with camaraderie as staff and their families enjoyed friendly competitions in netball, volleyball, soccer, and athletics—an embodiment of SECURICO’s belief in teamwork and unity. The festivities culminated in a grand awards ceremony and celebratory lunch, where outstanding performers from 2024 were also recognised, including recipients of the prestigious MD’s Quality and Excellence Award for the first quarter of 2025.

Adding to the day’s inspiration was guest speaker Mrs. Miriam Zisengwe, Head of SME and Consumer Banking at Nedbank, whose powerful insights on leadership and empowerment resonated deeply with all in attendance.

A Tradition of Excellence and Community

This year’s event builds on SECURICO’s rich tradition of celebrating its people. Past gatherings, such as the 2023 “SECURICO Stars Gala” and the 2022 “Family Unity Day,” have consistently highlighted the company’s commitment to recognising long-serving staff and fostering a sense of belonging. These events have become a cornerstone of SECURICO’s corporate culture, reinforcing its status as one of Zimbabwe’s most admired employers.

Corporate Social Responsibility: Making a Difference Beyond Business

SECURICO’s impact extends well beyond its workforce. The company is renowned for its robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, including the “Safe Communities Project,” which provides security awareness training in local schools, and the “Women in Security Empowerment Programme,” supporting female entrepreneurship and professional growth. The company also regularly partners with local charities, recently donating security equipment and resources to underprivileged communities in Harare.

Leadership and Achievements

Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Divine Simbi-Ndhlukula, SECURICO has achieved remarkable milestones. Dr. Simbi-Ndhlukula, a recipient of numerous national and international awards—including the Forbes Woman Africa Businesswoman of the Year and the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award—has steered SECURICO from a small start-up to a multi-award-winning enterprise with a reputation for innovation, integrity, and excellence.

As SECURICO looks to the future, Dr. Simbi-Ndhlukula expressed her excitement: “We are committed to moving from Good to Great in 2025, embracing our values of recognition, loyalty, and leadership development. Together, we will continue to set new standards for the industry and our community.”

With its unwavering focus on people, performance, and purpose, SECURICO continues to shine as a beacon of excellence in Zimbabwe’s business landscape.
