About Us
"When it comes to protecting, we are fearless."
Who we are
Khandwele Trading Enterprise
Khandwele Trading Enterprise, trading as KTE Security, is a South African security company. We do two things that are usually bought from two different suppliers: we put trained officers on the ground, and we install and maintain the cameras and alarms that support them. One provider, one contract, one number to call.
Our mission
To deliver security a client does not have to keep chasing: officers who arrive on time and in uniform, vehicles that answer activations, equipment that still works a year after it was installed, and honest reporting when something goes wrong.
Our vision
To be the security provider people in our area recommend to each other — known for turning up, for straight pricing, and for standing behind the work.
How we work
Assess, deploy, report
Assess
We walk the site with you and note the risks, access points and what is already installed. The solution is sized to what is actually there, not to a package we would like to sell.
Deploy
Officers are briefed on standing orders written for your site. Equipment is installed, tested and handed over properly — with the login details and a walkthrough, not just an invoice.
Report
Patrols, incidents and alarm activations are logged and reported back to you, so you can see what is happening without having to phone and ask.
Before you sign — with anyone
How to check a security company
Private security in South Africa is regulated under the Private Security Industry Regulation Act. Anyone rendering a security service — the company and every officer — must be registered with PSIRA, the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority. These are the questions worth asking us, and every other company you approach.
? Is the company registered with PSIRA?
Ask for the registration number and check it. A company that hesitates has told you something.
? Are the officers on my site registered?
Registration is individual, not just corporate. Officers must be 18 or older, permanently resident in South Africa, free of the offences scheduled in the Act, and trained at an accredited centre.
? Is there a written contract?
For armed reaction in particular, the industry body SAIDSA recommends a written contract between the client and the company. Get the scope, the shifts and the exclusions in writing.
? What response time is promised?
Be careful with any guaranteed arrival time. SAIDSA states plainly that no reaction service can guarantee arrival within a specific period — distance, traffic and simultaneous activations all affect it. A company promising a fixed number is overselling.
Our details
Ask us for our registration details and those of any officer placed on your site — you are entitled to them, and we would rather you check than take our word for it.
