Siyo VIP Protection & Investigation Services — Security Excellence Since 2018

Company Overview

Founded On Elite Experience

Siyo VIP Protection and Investigation Services was founded by Mr. Siya Siphiwe Gift in 2018. With years of elite experience in bodyguard services — including work with ANC VIP Protection and the protection of figures such as Mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Lindiwe Sisulu — Mr. Siya turned his passion into a mission: to provide world-class security services across South Africa and beyond.

Backed by intensive market research and real-world tactical experience, the company has become a trusted name in executive protection, private investigation, and tactical response. We currently employ eight core executive professionals with additional contract support.
