The rapid spread of social media platforms and other online dating platforms has made cheating on a spouse easier than ever before, and, once the conversation starts, it’s a short step to an actual physical encounter.

This may not mean that your spouse is cheating physically, but it does mean he or she is cheating on you emotionally, and, if your senses are telling you that something is off, perhaps its best to consider finding out whether your spouse is cheating or not.

No matter how painful, once you know the truth, you can base your decisions about the relationship on facts and not on mere suspicion, so that if your spouse is in fact innocent, you have the opportunity to work on the relationship.

If your spouse has suddenly locked you out of their phone and email by changing passwords, it’s a red flag, and, if your sixth sense is telling you that something is definitely off, it may be worth asking why you’ve been locked out, but it won’t guarantee you’ll get the truth!

There are four basic kinds of suspicious behaviour you could keep an eye out for, however, bear in mind that it doesn’t mean you’re living with a cheater if he or she displays one or two of them.

There are many other signs that you can be on the lookout for if you do research on the internet, so be sure your spouse is displaying too many of these signs to be ignored, before you believe you’re being cheated on.

Major changes in physical appearance

When your spouse suddenly starts taking more of an interest in his or her appearance, getting makeovers, suddenly joining a gym, changing what he or she wears obviously, it could indicate that there’s something going on.

It could be nothing more than wanting to take care of themselves as time passes, however, some of these signs are a pretty good indication that something is going on, especially if you’re being kept out of it all.

Loss of interest in you and your relationship

If your spouse has previously been intimate and affectionate with you and begins to withdraw from this, showing a loss of interest in the relationship, you can be pretty sure they may be looking for that intimacy elsewhere. If this is completely out of the ordinary and totally unexpected, without any explanation or discussion, you may have to face the painful truth that you’re being cheated on.

Your spouse turns your suspicion of infidelity on you

If things have reached the point where you’ve asked the hard questions and been told you’re imagining things, you may well find that your spouse begins to turn your suspicion against you and start accusing you of cheating!

This is a pretty common manipulative technique used by cheaters, turning their own guilt on you in defence, or to deflect suspicion away from them because of their guilt at their own behaviour.

Sudden increased secrecy

In most relationships based on trust there is no need for either spouse to feel the need to lock you out of their phone or social networking site by becoming secretive about new passwords.

When you’re able to tell the distinct difference between the way it was and the way it’s changed, with all the new secrecy, and your questions are met with derision, it may be time to consider finding out the truth, no matter how painful.

Sadly, according to statistics, 85% of people who suspect that there is cheating on them and having an affair are right, and, your sixth sense also sounds the alarm loud enough for you to pay attention.

While the truth may be painful to face, allow yourself the peace of mind that comes with knowing and not just suspecting, since suspicion can do a tremendous amount of damage and your spouse may not even be cheating on you!

Contact the number one cheating spouse detectives in South Africa at King Investigators to get to the truth. This is a team of professionals who know exactly what you’re going through and who will give you the support you’ll need to get you through these uncharted waters with sensitivity and respect for your privacy.

Harassing and bullying someone in the virtual world of mobile phones and the internet is the act of a coward, but, that knowledge doesn’t change the fear and anxiety that comes with being targeted for harassment.

Nobody deserve to be bullied, in any way, and threats via mobile phones and email means that you’ll have to take steps to put an end to it, to take yourself from being a victim to the victor by stopping the harassment the right way.

While the justice system has been a bit slow in catching up, there are now laws in place that are designed to protect people from cyber-harassment, allowing you to protect yourself legally too.

It’s seldom that cyber-bullies show their faces, but, if there’s ever any hint that the person who may be bullying you could well become a physical threat, it’s essential that you keep everything documented to take the right legal steps to protect yourself in time.

We’re going to look at cyber-harassment here and what you can do about stopping harassment via texting:

Document texts sequentially

It’s essential that you keep every harassing text in sequential order, date and time, so that if you can’t get the person to stop by yourself, you can take the evidence to the relevant police services.

Keep screenshots of every text that comes in and your own replies requesting that the harassment stops, make sure you keep everything in one folder that will be easy to hand over to the authorities should it come to that.

Organise texts in an easy format to present to law enforcement

If you’ve decided to approach the police with your case, handing them all the information they could possibly need to stop the harassment is going to make it easier for them to get to the culprit. Make sure that everything is dated and that the time is recorded of every text, in addition to making sure that you keep copies of everything you hand over to detectives.

Bear in mind though, that the police services are swamped and understaffed at the best of times, especially at this time in history when the COVID-19 pandemic has stretched their resources even thinner than ever before!

Hire an experienced, trusted private investigator

Being on the cutting edge of the latest technology available gives King Investigators in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town all the experience they need to find your tormentor and put paid to the harassment once and for all.

In fact, when you hire a licensed PI to stop cyber-harassment of any form, you’ll have the kind of support that could even lead to convicting the person harassing you, should you wish to do so.

Often, once Jacques Botha, owner of King Investigators, is able to identify the perpetrator they’ll be scared off, however, if this isn’t the case, King Investigators are able to provide the police with enough evidence of the harassment, including the identity of the perpetrator, to open a case against them.

This kind of evidence is vital if you plan on securing a court order to stop the harassment!  All of this information applies to any form of online bullying and harassment as well, as long as you keep it all together, you’ll be able to put an end to it!

Contact King Investigators today for a free, confidential chat about what they can do to stop your tormentor and to keep you safe during the investigation.

Any private investigator that has spent a lot of his time on investigations into cheating spouses will tell you to leave the gathering of proof of infidelity to professionals, and not to try to get the proof on your own.

The mere thought that your spouse is cheating on you and having an affair is painful enough, without having to put yourself under the emotionally charged pressure of finding evidence of cheating on your own!

Even worse is when you try to rope your family or friends into helping you to gather proof of cheating. The emotional cost is high for all concerned, and, more than that, you could put yourself in danger or, end up with the kind of evidence that simply won’t hold water in court, which is the last thing you want if you want to be on the winning side of a divorce case!

King Investigators in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria are the number one cheating spouse detectives in South Africa, having successfully investigated hundreds of cases of cheating or infidelity, locally and internationally.

Integrity, experience, professionalism and honesty, backed up by an excellent reputation garnered over more than ten years in the industry, are hallmarks you can expect from any undercover investigation undertaken by owner of King Investigators, Jacques Botha, and his team of licensed investigators.

If you need proof of infidelity, here’s why it’s best not to do it yourself, but to hire a professional private investigator!

He is able to retain a level-headed approach to the investigation

As professionals, private investigators are not emotionally invested in cases involving cheating and infidelity, which is exactly what you would need as support during a difficult experience like this that takes you into uncharted territory.

Though not emotionally invested, your PI does take your suspicions seriously as you go through the steps to decide on the course of the investigation.

The team at King Investigators fully understand how difficult this investigation will be for you, especially in light of the fact that you’ll need to act as if everything is fine for the duration of the investigation, so as not to tip off your spouse that they are under surveillance.

He has the vital skill set & experience necessary for undercover surveillance

Jacques and his team at King Investigators have successfully closed thousands of cheating spouse cases in South Africa, and, with over ten years experience out in the field as undercover surveillance operatives, you can rely on the fact that you’ll be dealing with professionals that have an exceptional level of experience to bring to your case.

He’ll leave no stone unturned!

Sheer determination is a vital quality when it comes to investigating infidelity and cheating, and King Investigators have a solid reputation for leaving no stone unturned in any investigation they undertake.

They use state of the art technology combined with boots-on-the-ground expertise to deliver results you can rely on, especially if the evidence they present you with at the conclusion of your investigation is to be used in court.

It’s never an easy decision to hire a private investigator to prove whether or not your spouse is cheating on you, but, rest assured that once you’ve had a confidential chat with Jacques about where to next, it’ll be easier to take the next step, based on the down-to-earth honesty you can expect from King Investigators!

In order to be able to claim to be a full-service private investigative company in South Africa, King Investigators provides investigative services that range from cheating spouse investigations, right through to business intelligence services, without missing a beat.

This is a team of professionals that’ll track down employees that are stealing from your business; follow a paper trail of a spouse hiding assets in a divorce case or carry out professional lie detector tests.

In addition to the analytical ability this team of investigators has in following paper trails wherever they lead, or analysing reams of data to get to the bottom line, they also remain on the cutting edge of state of the art technology as it develops.

This technology is used by this team to improve investigative timelines and save clients money, especially when it comes to combining analytical skills with extensive experience in undercover surveillance.

Naturally, the explosion of technology that continues on an upward trajectory has already had a major impact on the way that criminality has changed.

There are a lot more ways to commit fraud, lie, steal and cheat through technology than there ever was before, and, even having an affair and cheating on your spouse has become a different ballgame with technology!

Here are a few examples of the full range of investigative services provided by King Investigators in South Africa:

In-depth background checks

Having been in the investigations field for over ten years, King Investigators has the necessary resources and connections to make sure that whether you need an in-depth background check into someone you’re planning on employing or someone you’re taking on as a new business partner or, perhaps someone that’s a possible new love interest in your life, you’ll know everything about that person before you make any decisions!

Expert undercover surveillance

The team of licensed private investigators at King Investigators bring many years worth of experience to what can sometimes be the dangerous field of undercover surveillance.

They know exactly how to disappear into the background and how to adapt to changing situations on the ground during an undercover operation, which is absolutely necessary, not just for a successful investigation, but also to protect themselves and their clients!

Cheating spouse detectives

Cases involving cheating spouses are unfortunately one of the main reasons individuals hire King Investigators, and, having carried out thousands of cases involving infidelity, you can rely on this team to produce evidence that’s true and cannot be disputed.

It’s for this reason that King Investigators is known as the number one cheating spouse detectives in South Africa, to the extent that they have the experience of carrying out investigations in other Sub-Saharan countries and internationally!

Polygraph testing

Using the very latest in polygraph technology, King Investigators will, through the use of polygraph services in a range of cases, such as for pre-employment screening, criminal testing, domestic disputes and more!

If you’d like to be able to identify risks before they are set in motion, such as protecting your business from hiring employees that could cause damage to your business, polygraph testing and voice stress analysis testing are the best proactive steps you can take to minimise risks, whether in your personal or business life.

Along with these types of investigations, the experts at King Investigators are also uniquely able to provide Business Intelligence Services and Due Diligence Services, which, as you can see, makes them a top full-service private investigative company in South Africa!

Contact owner of King Investigators Jacques Botha to find out more about what he and his team of professional investigators can do to assist you with any investigation you may need them to undertake on your behalf.

If you want to be absolutely certain that the evidence you require in a court case will be irrefutable, and that it’ll have been gathered within legal boundaries, then you need to be absolutely certain that you hire an professional private investigator that values honesty and integrity highly.

Depending on the case in question, you could ask friends or business associates for recommendations if they’ve had to hire a PI, however, in most cases, it’s something you’d probably prefer to keep it very private, especially if it involves finding proof of infidelity.

Ultimately, this puts you in the position of having to become your own investigator on the hunt for the right person to trust with your case, which means you’ll have to check into whether a private investigator you’re considering has the background and experience to tackle your specific case.

You can ask the PI for recommendations from previous clients that have used his services for investigations similar to yours. He will know how to protect the identity of their client in the process, but you’ll have bona fide recommendations to base your decision on, and, if he’s cagey about any of this, you’d be better off looking elsewhere.

Above all, you want a private investigator that places high value on sticking to the code of conduct that governs his industry, which in South Africa is the PSiRA, the governing body that can protect you should you have problems with private investigator.

Another very important factor that contributes towards your ability to feel confidence in an investigator is whether he is open about the costs of the investigation, and to do so in a way that is in line with your budget. He should have enough experience and knowledge to know exactly how to cut costs yet still provide you with quality evidence.

Some of the ways in which the costs of an investigation can remain affordable is through the use of state of the art technology that any investigator today should be up to date with. A lot of this technology saves time on the investigation, which results in private investigator rates that can be tailored to any budget.

King Investigators in South Africa check all the right boxes!

King Investigators in South Africa check all the right boxes if what you want is to do things the right way. With over ten years of experience in the field, this team of investigators combines many spheres of investigation with the use of state of the art technology, to make sure that any evidence they present to a client is of the highest calibre.

King Investigators stick to the law when gathering evidence

If you hire a PI that doesn’t think twice about doing things that are against the law to gather evidence, or, as in some cases, manufacture false evidence, your case will fall apart in court.

Private investigators are not allowed to use tactics such as entrapment, misrepresentation or violation of privacy in their pursuit of the truth, because if they do, you could end up in hot water legally when evidence gathered the wrong way is thrown out of court.

If the case you need investigated is destined for court, contact Jacques and his team for a confidential chat about how to get the investigation off the ground, with a team you can rely on to deliver the goods every time, without wasting your time or money in the process!

It has become common business practice these days for owners to take a proactive approach towards protecting their businesses from criminal elements they may inadvertently hire, on the basis of a manufactured CV, by hiring a private investigator to carry out pre-employment polygraph testing on potential employees.

It’s certainly one of the best preventative measures you could take to ensure that you’re hiring the right person, though of course this can’t be said to be infallible, there’s always one that may slip through the net.

That said though, if potential employees know that they’re going to be going through an in-depth background check that’ll also involve a polygraph test, it’ll already weed out the ones you don’t want ahead of interviews.

Once you’re faced with employee theft, whether of goods or money, more often than not, because you can’t just fire an employee without proof, you’re going to sit with that employee until you’ve exhausted the legal route to get rid of them.

Employee theft of every type is increasing year on year, especially with the damage that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an already crippled economy, and with a massive increase in unemployment, which is costing businesses millions every year in South Africa.

Why are businesses turning to pre-employment polygraph testing?

Gut feelings are out & reality is in!

We’d all still like to trust what our gut feelings tell us when we meet someone we may employ, however, especially when it comes to employing staff for sensitive positions in bookkeeping for instance, gut feelings have had to take a backseat to the reality of in-depth background checks and pre-employment polygraph tests in an effort to cut down on employee theft and other criminal activities.

The need to know the full story behind the CV is essential!

It’s a fact that, rather than to take a dishonest employee to court, a lot of businesses will simply let the employee go, and, though they won’t have a glowing recommendation, there won’t be any mark there to tell you that you’re actually dealing with a criminal.

This makes it essential to know exactly who you’re dealing with before letting anyone into your business.

Crime syndicates, technology & manipulated CV’s!

There’s no doubt that technology has given crime syndicates targeting specific industries a new doorway into corrupting staff in sensitive positions, such as those that work in R&D, patenting, important company data and customer data bases.

These crime syndicates pay top dollar for information they can then sell to the opposition or competition, causing a ripple effect of damage to many companies that are in any event, just staying afloat in the current economic conditions!

Getting someone into your business to do the crime isn’t that difficult, if all you do is go on the face value of a CV, however, these can be manipulated to make false information appear real, and, when you call supposed references, what you really get on the other end of the line is a member of the syndicate putting the final touch to their criminal plans.

High-risk behaviour that can damage your business & reputation

No one can afford to hire an alcoholic, drug addict, child abuser or someone guilty of sexual misconduct, because at some point this will come back on you and the reputation of your business.

Rather than take the chance you may be lucky enough to employ one of the above that doesn’t get exposed, you owe it to yourself and your business success to protect your interests by making pre-employment polygraph testing and in-depth background checks a rule, rather than the exception.

Call in the polygraph experts from King Investigators in South Africa!

As highly trained, skilled private investigators, with more than ten years in the industry, the team at King Investigators in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town, will be more than happy to give you confidential guidance on where to begin making sure you cover all your bases in protecting your business with pre-employment polygraph testing.

Call King Investigators today to get the ball rolling on a proactive route towards protecting your assets and business interests!

The responsibility for uncovering evidence that will allow a successful court verdict in any case rests with the private investigator that is closely allied with district attorneys or with lawyers.

This is necessary as no attorney or DA has to time to go undercover to follow up on leads and gather trustworthy evidence on top of having to prepare for a court case on behalf of their client.

You’ll find that most major law firms and DA’s rely on creating a solid working relationship with a private investigator they can trust to deliver the goods, and to deliver them legally. In most cases, once an attorney or DA finds a PI that has proven his worth, they will keep the investigator on a retainer in order to cement the relationship for all investigations.

A large number of these firms rely on the team of professional private investigators from King Investigations in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town, knowing that they work according to a strict code of ethics in their industry.

The other reason for this trust is that a true professional investigator has to have a working knowledge of the law, mainly in order to be able to present evidence in court that cannot be disputed.

Unlike an attorney, lawyer or DA, a PI is not tied to his desk, which allows them to revisit the scene of a crime, review evidence and track down witnesses that may have disappeared.

The lawyer and PI work together to create a roadmap that’ll lead to exactly what type of evidence is required in each case, which is when the investigator comes into his own due to his extensive experience in his field.

The benefits attached to the relationship between attorney and investigator:

The gathering of trusted, in-depth evidence

There’s no doubt about the fact that the inherent qualities that have made the team at King Investigators the top choice for the legal profession come from their innate ability to find and assimilate information that only an expert would be able to put into workable evidence.

Sharing the burden of proof

The partnership that exists between an attorney and PI is one that places the burden of proof into the hands of the PI, which allows the attorney or DA to focus on other aspects of the case that are essential if there is to be a successful conclusion to the case for a client in court.

Cutting of costs

Billable hours are lowered for a client when a private investigator is able to speed up a case that may have dragged on for lack of solid evidence, using his experience and knowledge to bring it all together for a successful conclusion in court.

King Investigators – partners you can rely on for high value evidence

With well over ten years in the field, King Investigators are able to guarantee any client that the evidence presented at the end of an investigation will stand up to scrutiny in court, leaving the opposing lawyers with nothing to tear apart and discard.

If your attorney hasn’t already introduced you to owner of King Investigators, Jacques Botha, perhaps now is the time for you to have a confidential chat with him about what he and his team of professionals can do to build a watertight case on your behalf.

Seldom does our heart want to come into line with what your gut may be telling you about whether or not your spouse is cheating on you, however, suspicion is an ugly thing that can wear at any relationship, and, in some cases, it’s been found to be just that; suspicion!

Relationships have been saved when one partner hires a PI to find proof of infidelity, despite how painful it may be to face the truth, only to find that their spouse was not cheating on them, however, this unfortunately only applies to a minority of cases.

Little can damage a marriage or relationship as much as suspicion and lack of trust can do, and, while deciding to hire a cheating spouse detective is a difficult decision to make, many have found it better to have evidence that points to the truth.

Basing a decision about your relationship on the evidence you’ve been presented with, allows you to be in a position to make an informed decision about what to do about the relationship or marriage going forward.

King Investigators have, in their many years worth of experience, truly seen it all, which also means that they understand the emotional impact it has on a client when they decide to face the truth, no matter how painful.

Dealing with your case with the sensitivity you deserve in such uncharted territory, along with the support this team offers during the investigation, has made this team the number one cheating spouse detectives in South Africa.

Owner of King Investigators, Jacques Botha, a licensed investigator with well over ten years experience in the field, has the experience to be a major support during this very difficult time for you, specifically because he and his team of professionals are not emotionally invested in the case.

This means they can shore up your own strength to see it through to the end, and, to have the courage to keep things as normal as possible at home while the investigation is underway.

Many individuals hesitate to make contact with a cheating spouse detective because they think it’ll be too expensive, however, at King Investigators, you’ll find that Jacques and his team use their experience to offer you a cost effective investigation that not only respects your budget, but that also gives you quality evidence that you can take to court in confidence, if necessary.

Being the client, Jacques and his team will work the investigation in a way that you are comfortable with. You can be assured that they will not in any way go against your wishes, or go to any lengths that would make you even more uncomfortable than you already are, having taken the step to hire a PI!

In leaving no stone unturned during the investigation, you can rely on King Investigators to be a rock of support for you during an extremely emotional and painful experience, which will make a difficult experience a little easier to bear.

The final report, based on how you have chosen to direct the investigation, can include time-stamped photos and videos, and, if necessary, a professionally written report detailing events that were not captured in photos, and this is evidence that will be irrefutable should you be taking it to court.

Contact King Investigators today for a confidential chat that’ll make it easier for you to make an informed decision about the way forward with your cheating spouse.

 

Initially it may be easier to pass suspicions of your spouse cheating on you as being imagination or insecurity, however, when the alarm going off in your sixth sense gets louder over time, it may be time to make the choice to hire a private investigator to the truth to light.

It’s never an easy decision to hire a cheating spouse detective, however, the fact is that, according to statistics, up to 85% of those who have experienced these same feelings that their spouse is cheating, turn out to be right

The mere suspicion that someone you love and share your life with is having an affair is painful enough, but when you take the step to find evidence of infidelity, there will be no comfort in facing the truth, but, better that than the possibility of unfounded suspicions.

When you take that first step and contact a PI to confirm your suspicions, you’ll need someone who will take your suspicions seriously and treat you with sensitivity for the duration of the investigation, one who will regard your confidence as sacrosanct.

If you’re looking for the top cheating spouse detective in South Africa then King Investigators is the team for you. They have undertaken hundreds of cases involving cheating spouses and are able to bring a swift conclusion to your case, and to provide you with incontrovertible evidence of infidelity, if it is there.

This is uncharted territory for anyone that’s never hire a PI before and, the many years worth of experience the team at King Investigators brings to bear on your case is going to be invaluable to you, especially since they’re fully aware of how painful this experience is.

Jacques Botha and his team of seasoned PI’s have unfortunately seen it all, and they know full well just how much support you’ll need from them as they go through the investigation.

As difficult as this is to share with a stranger, you need to know that Jacques Botha and his team have seen it all and they will handle your case with the sensitivity you deserve.

From your first meeting with Jacques you’ll find that he’ll discuss every aspect of the case with you. How you want it to be carried out, what you want and don’t want to happen during the investigation to make sure that you can make an informed decision from the outset of the investigation.

Many people put off hiring a PI because they think it will be too expensive, however, at your first meeting with the team you’ll get to discuss your budget and they’ll tailor an investigation that’ll suit your budget and still bring you high quality evidence.

The team at King Investigators is uncompromising about the quality of evidence they produce, in addition to which, you will never be left with a bill that is far higher than initially discussed.

It’s about integrity, honesty and doing things the right way for King Investigators, which is exactly how they’ve earned their place as the number one cheating spouse detectives in South Africa!

It’s not going to be easy for you, there is no sugar coating as painful an experience as this will be, however, King Investigators will give you the moral support you need most at that time, especially since you’ll have to play your cards close to your hands so that your spouse doesn’t catch on to the fact that you’ve hired a PI!

Your confidentiality is guaranteed, as is the quality of evidence produced by the team at King Investigators, and, if all you want to do is test the waters or ask a few questions, feel free to contact Jacques and his team for a confidential chat that may help you to make a decision that will be in your best interests!

The only difference between crime and dishonesty from days of old to today, is that with the growth of technology, sophistication is the name of the game for anyone with a criminal or dishonest bent.

As much as technology has enhanced life and business today, it has also given rise to a whole new level of crime, which includes online stalking and intimidation, falsification of identities and education levels, as well as a massive increase in data theft and fraud of every kind.

As in most countries worldwide, the police services in South Africa are desperately undermanned and work under tremendous strain to keep up with the different forms of crime today, especially because they are held to rules that often make it difficult to make a case stick.

With legal constraints that hamper their investigations and ability to charge individuals with crimes, the police often need the assistance of a PI to assist them to gather further evidence that can then result in an arrest, along with evidence that can be used in court.

While private investigators are also bound by a strict code of ethics, they are still able to access information and dig deeper than local law enforcement can without having warrants.

Ethics are essential if a PI is to work with the police services or for anyone else. If ethics, transparency, honesty and an excellent reputation for working within legal guidelines in collecting evidence don’t describe the private investigator you’ve hired, or plan to hire, you will be barking up the wrong tree.

Ultimately, working with a PI that has low standards in all these areas is a recipe for disaster for you as client, especially if they gather evidence outside of the legal boundaries.

If you’re looking for the best, with a longstanding reputation for honesty and integrity, look no further than the team at King Investigators in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town!

The reason that King Investigators can guarantee evidence that will stand up to scrutiny in court is because, as licensed private investigators, they are fully committed to remaining within the law when gathering evidence, and staying within the guidelines of the PSiRA, which is the governing body that oversees the security industry in South Africa.

A few details you need to know before hiring a private investigator in South Africa:

Range of Investigative Services

There are private investigators that specialise only in fields such as business intelligence and fraud investigations, or those that specialise in cyber crimes, which means you need to make sure that the PI you hire is able to tackle your specific type of case.

If you need a cheating spouse detective, for instance, you’ll need to make sure that he not only has the experience to carry out undercover surveillance and the analytical skills to follow the trail of assets that have been hidden, especially if it’s for a divorce case.

You will be best served by an investigator that can carry out a full range of investigative services that cross over into various other areas that may be needed in the course of an investigation.

Should you choose to work with a well-respected investigative firm like King Investigators in South Africa, you’ll find that you’re dealing with a professional, full-service Private Investigative firm that considers no case off limits.

Will your Confidential Information be Protected?

You need to be absolutely sure that all your confidential information will be protected and kept in a secure location, so that no one trying to steal information from the investigators office is able to get to it to render your case useless.

Will you be kept updated about the progress of the investigation?

If you’re dealing with a seasoned professional, you should be able to rely on him keeping you fully updated during the course of the investigation, and that he will keep an open line of communication with you throughout so that you aren’t kept in the dark.

Is your PI up to date with state of the art technology?

If the private investigator you’re considering hiring isn’t fully up to date with the very latest in investigative technology you’ll be at a great disadvantage.

Technology plays a big role in the ability of a PI to present incontrovertible evidence and, it even assists in speeding up the investigation, which can ultimately cost you less in the long run.

Is the PI licensed and registered with the PSiRA

In the first place, the PI has to be licensed to operate professionally, so make sure this is the case. It’s also important to establish whether or not he is registered with the PSiRA, which is the governing body for the security industry in South Africa.

This body is there to protect both the investigator and yourself, should you come across an unscrupulous PI who may fleece you and produce evidence that is illegally gathered and of no use at all.

Will the PI have the perseverance to leave no stone unturned?

You definitely want to hire a private investigator in South Africa that’ll leave no stone unturned in making sure that at the end of the investigation you’ll have quality evidence that brings everything hidden to light!

This is the time to ask the PI for references. If he doesn’t seem to keen on this, cut your losses and look elsewhere.

Choose the best private investigators in South Africa

You’ll be saving yourself a lot of time if you start your search for a top PI in South Africa by contacting Jacques Botha, owner of King Investigators. This is one company that meets all the above requirements and more, and above all, one that will make sure you have credible evidence that’ll help you put together a watertight case!
