Men vs. Women in Security: Who Actually Does It Better?

Send us Fan Mail What happens when a client asks for a male security guard—but the woman assigned to the site proves she is exactly who they need? In this episode of the Security Guy’d Podcast, we sit down with Greta Fezeka Mazwe, a Security Controller at Wise Guy Academy, for an honest conversation about women reshaping the security industry in South Africa. Greta shares the real moments that challenged assumptions about who belongs in security: arriving at a site where a male, Afrikaans-speaking guard had been requested; earning the client’s trust so quickly that they did not want her removed; working night shifts; and discovering that a career in security can lead far beyond standing at a gate. This is not just a conversation about security. It is a story about being underestimated, staying alert, earning respect, and creating opportunities in spaces where women are still expected to prove themselves first. Whether you work in security, lead a team, are building your career, or simply enjoy powerful stories of resilience and growth, this episode is for you.
