Background: The word Lucolo is coming from Lukholo as Xhosa word that means It's Faith in English. As I have already stated God through my journey the word is sampled from the my Christian religion as we do everything by faith. The first thing that motivated me was that in the version I had I saw myself owning hotels and guesthouses. The second things that motived the move for me to start the guesthouse was the gap I saw when I use to travel around Eastern Cape I have notice that majority of BnB's are not up to standard and I was not pleased.

Let me take you back a little, there's something I missed out. When I was doing my matric (remember I was a photography). I asked our guardian to help me study security guard course. My biological father refused him to give me money for security and instead I must only get money for university studies.
So I use to see how security guards are being treated and underpaid so I again I saw a gap. I had an edge to make a difference that one day God willing I will start a security company that will serve their staff and clients better. To both go the goal of making a difference I called it Reliable Guards.
