sector” he declares about his future aspirations”.
Background
Mr Ivony ‘Scotch’ Lilane was born in the historical Sharpeville Township and later grew up in the Small Farms,

life, though both my mother and father were alive. I later

True to his word, he enrolled for a Security course and
on completion of his qualification he was soon contracted by Stallion Security Company, where he has

working at the prestigious Emerald Casino. “The
first few months I was a gate officer, but soon got a
promotion to serve on the Casino’s CCTV technical
committee, those were the best days of my career
thus far” he interjects.
