Pieter Heinrich Bredenkamp

Close Protection Officer, Tactical Response Officer, Retail
Hoedspruit

Summary

I am a single, non-dependent Afrikaans man living in Hoedspruit. I have dedicated my entire working life to the Family Store Hoedspruit SPAR, starting from entry-level positions and working my way up to my current role as Head of Security. In this role, I ensure the safety and security of both the store and my family.

In my free time, I enjoy staying fit by spending time at the gym, and I relax by playing games on my PlayStation or PC. I value my independence and enjoy engaging in activities that align with my interests, such as volunteering with Hoedspruit Farm Watch as part of their Reaction Unit. Additionally, I assist with anti-poaching efforts, including rhino dehorning, whenever the opportunity arises.

I am a very loyal and dedicated individual who believes in working until the job is done, not just until the end of the workday. From a young age, I have been passionate about protecting those who cannot protect themselves, inspired by my father who served in the police force and shared captivating stories that fueled my interest in security and community service.
