Agenda

  • 9:00 AM - 9:10 AMOpening & Welcome
    9:10 AM - 9:55 AMWhistleblowing
    Whistleblowing is crucial in South Africa for uncovering corruption, fraud, and misconduct. These brave individuals, known as "guardians of integrity," wield the power to reform compromised boards, hold corrupt governments accountable, right injustices, and uphold democracy. Despite legal protections like the Protected Disclosures Act (PDA), whistleblowers still confront significant risks, including threats to their physical safety, psychological well-being, and financial stability. The establishment of the Whistleblower House, providing legal, psychological, financial, and physical (security) support, underscores the necessity of robust support structures. Such initiatives are vital for fostering a culture of accountability and empowering individuals to expose wrongdoing across all sectors.

    9:55 AM - 10:40 AMCyber Security
    Cybercrimes cost the South African economy billions of Rands every year. Businesses are crippled and often worse by invoice interception schemes, fake investments and fraudulent payments in the online space. The increasing risk of data breaches and POPIA compliance add to the cyber security realities in our country – how do you protect your business?

    Join us as we explore the risks and available remediation in this practical session focusing on what you can do to secure your business against cyber criminals.

    10:40 AM - 11:25 AMIdentity Theft and Falsifying of Documentation
    Zaheera Boomgaard is considered a female serial killer, luring men from all over South Africa and the world to be killed. She would not spare female friends when it was difficult to get male victims. Before killing her victims, Zaheera would take control of the bank, social media, and email accounts of the victims. She would enrich herself by committing identity theft and falsifying documents. By using multiple data sources, Boomgaard’s involvement in numerous types of fraud were closely tracked and analysed. The volume of the data and the number of potential data sources are increasing contributed to the complexity of the investigation. To reconstruct this matter, I used inter alia the following data sources:
    Cellphone billing;
    Bank statements;
    Cross-border movement;
    Data from a vehicle tracking device;
    SANRAL transactions;
    Downloads from personal computers and cellular devices;
    Data from the access control system at the complex where she resided;
    Various CCTV images; and
    Facebook.
