Specialised Security Services (SSS) is committed to protecting South Africans from as well as highlighting stories of resilience and transformation. One such story involves Shaun, a young man who, though battling addiction, has made remarkable strides on his journey to recovery. While Shaun prefers to remain anonymous regarding his past struggles,
SSS celebrates his success as an example of the success determination, support, and accountability can achieve.
When Shaun arrived at Hope Again Recovery Centre, he displayed immediate willingness, cooperation, and commitment. From day one, he embraced the work required to break emotional bondage, confront personal turmoil, and replace unhealthy coping mechanisms with constructive habits. Shaun’s progress has been steady and inspiring. He actively applies the lessons learned, gains new insight into himself, and draws strength both from within and from his faith. His journey demonstrates that recovery is a daily practice, requiring training, perseverance, and consistency.
In group therapy, Shaun has emerged as a leading voice.
He shares his experiences candidly, offering insight and encouragement to others facing similar challenges.
His focus, attitude, and dedication illustrate a man intent on building a stable future and a meaningful life.
While employment opportunities are still being explored in his surrounding community, Shaun’s growth is already evident.
His story is particularly powerful when considering how it began:
SSS Specialist Investigators Mr. Ray Koch and Mr. Cecil Benade first encountered him in a desperate situation.
Through compassion and practical support, they extended a helping hand—but the true catalyst for change was Shaun’s willingness to accept help. This cooperation laid the foundation for everything he has achieved since.
With the ongoing support of SSS and Hope Again Recovery Centre,
Shaun’s recovery and reintegration are becoming tangible realities.
He remains deeply grateful for the opportunities, growth, and the positive change he has experienced.
Shaun’s journey serves as a reminder to all: it is never too late to seek help, rebuild one’s life,
and repair relationships with loved ones. His story is far from finished,
yet it already stands as a testament to what true commitment and transformation look like.
If addiction is affecting you or a loved one, act now.
Contact Mr. Mike Bolhuis without delay for professional assistance and a real chance at recovery.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.
STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
