About Divine:
Company: SECURICO
Net Worth: $809 million
Divine Ndhlukula was born in Gutu, Zimbabwe. She is the owner of a security company. She received her education from Midlands State University, and she has an MBA from Women’s University in Africa, where she has also a Ph.D. in Business. She first worked for telecom companies, starting with Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corp.
She worked there for several years before moving on to Old Mutual, where she was an accounting officer. She then became part of Intermarket, servicing as a marketing executive for that insurance company. Divine decided to move from the executive role into the ownership role.
She founded SECURICO, a security company that was high-quality and well-paid. She wanted to revolutionize the industry and provide motivated employees who would protect businesses and buildings across the country.
In a remarkable display of resilience and being able to successfully run a business, Divine has been able to grow her staff from the four employees she started with to over 3000 employees. When they started, the company mainly offered guarding services. Now, Securico Security Services specializes in transporting cash, gold bullion and other valuables. The company also provides on-site banking where some staff are deployed to receive cash from clients’ customers.
The businesswoman firmly believes that there’s no easy road to anywhere worth going to. Even in her business venture, she has had to acquire the necessary skills to complement her hard work, discipline, commitment and determination. All this ensured her business would withstand the political and socio-economic turbulence Zimbabwe has been riddled with for many years.
