PERSONALITY XXX PROFILE
Heroes in the security We’d like to introduce to you some of the winners at the PSIRA / SASA Bravery Awards Ceremony 2019…
Mancoba Dumisani Mnisi
Silver Award winner Mancoba Dumisani Mnisi is a reaction officer with Fidelity ADT. In July 2019, he was sent to cover a new area in the East Rand, where he was approached by criminals who wanted him to act as an informant for them ahead of a series of planned robberies. He informed his manager immediately, and then assisted the SAPS with a sting operation that led to the arrest of three of the men involved. Born in Mpumalanga in Nelspruit, Mancoba grew up with dreams of becoming a lawyer or running his own company one day. It was his passion for music, however, that saw him enrol for a course on music and sound engineering after he matriculated in 2005. His first job was at “Changed by the Word Church International” as a recording engineer. He also taught music part-time at the Metropolitan International College in White River, Mpumalanga. In 2018 he joined Fidelity ADT as a career move. Describing himself as full of life and energy, he says he loves being able to interact with people while learning new things every day. This, along with resolving conflict and minimising criminal activities in his area drives him to succeed and indeed excel. He is engaged and the proud father of a three-month old son.
