Do you suspect that your partner is cheating on you?

If you are living with suspicions that you’re being cheated on, you’re probably already going through emotions that range from fear of the truth to proof of betrayal, along with an almost inevitable anger that will also play a role in the fear and pain of the situation.

While it may not help your heart to know that you’re not alone, it’s a sad fact that in a society flooded with technology it’s become even easier to have an affair than ever.

Unfortunately, because of the convenience and anonymity of the internet, affairs today often start online, which then takes just a it a small step to set up a date to meet the person that’s been on the other end of the conversation, opening wide the door to cheating in the ‘real’ world.

While it’s true that burying your head in the sand for as long as you can stand it seems easier than taking the next step, however, if there is proof of infidelity you will then be able to decide whether or not to continue the relationship.

Deciding to hire a cheating spouse detective in South Africa is going to be a challenging step for you into unchartered waters. Setting aside the emotional toll to decide which course of action is best, make sure that if you hire PI you’ll be dealing with a professional who’s already seen it all and can fully understand your pain.

Undercover surveillance

King Investigators are at the top in their field in terms of undercover surveillance tactics.

Keeping yourself uninvolved

Probably one of the toughest roles you’ll ever have to play in life will be while you act as if nothing is happening for the duration of the investigation. This is to ensure that you don’t in any way let your spouse know what’s going on, or you could compromise the investigation.

Conclusion of the investigation

Undercover surveillance in private investigations

We’re not that far from the gadgets James Bond gets to use, in fact, they’re a big part of our society today. Everyone owns a mobile phone that can record voices and capture video, and, almost every 3rd person owns a drone.

In terms of getting real evidence during undercover surveillance that is untainted by underhand tactics, your PI needs to know exactly where the legal boundaries are for every aspect of an investigation.

Legal knowledge is essential on the part of the PI if any part of the evidence gathered during surveillance is to be documented to be presented in court.

What is undercover surveillance

In the majority of cases, undercover surveillance plays a lead role in terms of time spent on any case in the life of a private investigator. However, beyond the experience to carry out successful undercover operations, a private investigator also has to spend a lot of his time on analysing information and data gathered during an investigation.

When is undercover surveillance used?

  • Civil and criminal investigations i.e. when police are no longer able to continue an investigation and need assistance to gather more evidence in order to bring charges against a suspect
  • Cheating
  • Child custody
  • Child visitation rights
  • Locating missing people
  • Business; PI’s can be ‘employed’ to carry out undercover surveillance at your business if you suspect there are crimes causing your company loss of finances and assets.
  • Insurance fraud
  • Workmen’s compensation fraud
  • Harassment

Blending into the background during undercover surveillance

If a PI is to remain undetected by the subject under surveillance, he needs a high level of training and many years’ worth of experience in the field to be effective.

Remaining undetected means applying different techniques to suit each situation, which means a PI has to be able to think on his feet, quickly!

This is also why it’s best to hire a local investigator who knows the lay of the land and the culture of the country too, especially in a country as diverse as South Africa.

King Investigators, technology & undercover surveillance

King Investigators remain at the forefront of technological advances in their industry, which means that you can rely on them to have all the right equipment to carry out all forms of surveillance, while remaining within the letter of the law.

Remaining within the law in collecting evidence would include, as an example, the fact that though GPS monitoring devices can be used to track a subject and save costs on the investigation, the only way a PI can do this legally is to have permission of the vehicle owner.

If your client suspects that a spouse is cheating on him or her, and the car the spouse uses belongs to the client, then it’s no problem to get permission to attach a GPS tracker, otherwise it’s a no-no and won’t hold up in court.

If you prefer to hire true professionals, contact owner of King Investigators Jacques Botha. Jacques is a licensed private investigator heading up a team of seasoned investigators in Pretoria, Cape Town and Johannesburg.

With an investigative firm like this that’s at the top of its field in South Africa after over ten years in the industry, you won’t find more professional than this!

 

How important are in-depth background checks today?

There’s no doubt about it, in-depth background checks, no matter how uncomfortable they may be for anyone, are here to stay. They are a vital step towards protecting business and private interests, taking a proactive approach rather than having to remedy the effects dishonesty can have on a company or on an individual when it’s too late.

With technology having made it child’s play to invent and manufacture a false CV, business owners are urged to dig deeper than on the surface, and to remember that potential employees can enlist the help of others to act as false references for previously held positions, which would leave you none the wiser.

Companies that have dismissed or fired an employee seldom include the reasons in the reference they give the perpetrator, all they want is to get rid of the employee.

It’s important to note that if there is nothing that speaks to the character of the ex-employee in the CV they hand you, you’ll need to trust facts that can be dug up by a private investigator rather than your sixth sense.

Here are a few reasons people in their private capacity and businesses rely on in-depth background checks today:

For Business

Potential new business partners

Before you allow anyone into your business affairs, whether as a partner or board member, your best possible protection is to call in a professional to carry out a full-spectrum background check on the potential partner or associate.

An in-depth background check carried out by a private investigator will bring to light whether the new partner has a clean background or one muddied by crimes such as fraud, dispersion of hidden assets and/or crimes such as selling company secrets and company databases.

With the full background story, you’ll feel more confident about whether or not you’ll be able to trust the new partner or investor with your company. This knowledge will go a long way to protecting you from future loss, whether financially or by way of impacting your reputation negatively.

Pre-employment background checks

Today, many employers rely on the facts that an in-depth background check reveals rather than on the content of CV’s, before they employ anyone, which is why it’s become commonplace practice to institute pre-employment screening and a background check on a potential employee before they are hired or not.

If you’re looking to fill a sensitive position of trust within your company, one in which the employee will have access to highly confidential data, or financial management, you’re going to save yourself a lot of time and money by doing a background check, rather than trying to deal with the fallout after the fact, once losses have been tallied up.

For private individuals

Divorce & custody cases

The desire to hide assets from a spouse during a divorce settlement is often a high priority for one or the other spouse, to make sure that the ‘winner’ walks away with most assets intact, and this is where divorce can become a vicious battlefield.

Without an in-depth investigation, if you aren’t up to date with the financial details in your marriage, you could well end up on the losing side, and, if you have children, cause them losses as well as they grow older.

Only a highly trained, experienced professional private investigator can carry out a real in-depth check into assets your spouse may be hiding, which is why private investigators are often used by lawyers during divorce cases.

Romance in 2020

Past abuse, drug abuse and fraud are just a few of the issues one might want to know something about before getting in too deep with a new love interest.

While it may be unpleasant to carry out a background check on a potential new love, keep in mind that it’s about self-protection in the long term.  In the case of abusive partners, they more often than not start out behaving in a way that would make any woman feel like a queen, and, only once in your life, the ugly truth starts coming out!

If your new love is using drugs and you don’t have experience about these things, it can initially be hidden, however, drug abuse is another issue that can be hidden initially, but at some point later in the relationship things start to unravel, and by then it’s too late.

The pain caused by issues such as drugs, gambling and other crimes can be avoided by being proactive about your protection right from the start, hiring a private investigator to dig where you aren’t able to.

Qualities to be on the lookout for when hiring a private investigator

There are private investigators, and then there are private investigators, and the distinction between the two halves of the same thing will be in the credentials that the private investigator is able to present to you.

Credentials and reputation have everything to do with whether or not you hire a particular private investigator. Why? Because should you make the mistake of hiring an unlicensed PI you’ll nowhere to turn should any of his investigative tactics lead to evidence that is tainted due to the manner in which it’s been collected.

At the end of the investigation you should expect a report that reflects a minute attention to detail on the part of the PI in terms of analysing all data and information that is collected. Unfortunately it is in these small details that many investigators fall short of the mark.

Evidence has to be collated in full compliance with strict industry standards for it to be of any value at all, especially if it’s to be used in a court case, and these standards are enforced by the PSiRA in South Africa.

Don’t hire an investigator that’s not registered with PSiRA, for your own sake!

Having a working knowledge of the law and legalities of collecting evidence is another prerequisite for private investigators. With these abilities, the investigator is able to present evidence that is irrefutable and will stand up to scrutiny in any court of law, civil or criminal.

If ethics and honesty are qualities that you’d like to find in your PI, then King Investigators in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town is the team for you! These core values underpin all investigations carried out by this team of private investigators, no matter where the investigation leads.

Qualities to be on the lookout for before you hire a private investigator in South Africa

Trust

If you don’t feel that you can trust your private investigator to treat your information and investigation with absolute confidentiality you’re probably right.

A private investigator should be able to reassure you that your information is kept securely, in other words, that it’s kept off-site of his office in a secure location so that there is no chance that it can be stolen in a robbery.

A foundation of experience

Because an inexperienced PI can endanger an entire investigation, and expose the client to danger, especially in undercover operations, there’s no doubt that nothing beats on-the-ground experience in the world of private investigations

As an example; should an investigator be following a cheating spouse and he is detected by the person under investigation, it will make that person suspicious and possibly lead to awareness that their spouse has hired a private investigator, which is when it could become dangerous for the client.

A foundation of diligence

As defined by the Cambridge Dictionary, diligence is ‘the quality of working carefully and with a lot of effort’, which is why the team at King Investigators apply sheer diligence and doggedness in every case they undertake.

This means that King Investigators will pursue every avenue of investigation to the point of exhaustion, before they are satisfied the most reliable results of the investigation, which is an essential quality that should be second nature to any great private investigator.

When it seems that there’s nowhere else to go, this is the team that will push past that point for a breakthrough!

A foundation of networking

A top investigator will acknowledge that PI’s need to have developed a network of trusted contacts/specialists that are available to provide outside support and resources that may be required during an investigation, if necessary.

This networking includes relationships with those who are able to gain access to information not freely available even to investigators, and which often includes working with and assisting the local police where necessary.

Foundational instinctual judgement

When an investigator is out in the field it’s necessary that his instincts are finely tuned enough to adapt quickly to changing circumstances on the ground, and, most importantly, to think on his feet at all times, especially when it comes to undercover surveillance, where it’s easy for things to go wrong.

Foundational communication

Communication is an essential ingredient to the skill set any PI needs for success in his field. He needs to be able to communicate with anyone and everyone during the investigation without raising any red flags.

Naturally, you also want to make sure that you’ll be As the client, you’ll be kept up to date with the investigation as it proceeds, and to have an open line of communication with your investigator.

Into the future with PI’s & technology

While a private investigator may excel at undercover surveillance and have superb analytical skills, it’s not enough in our digital landscape. Any true professional will also keep abreast of the latest developments in surveillance technology to work more effectively at getting to the truth in an investigation a lot faster than ever before.

A modern, up to date private investigator should be able and willing to use the latest tech gadgets to raise undercover surveillance to a new level, and, be willing to know as much as possible about anything new that is developed to take investigations to greater heights.

A private investigator in touch with the latest technology allows him to be ready for any eventuality that could happen while carrying out an undercover surveillance

Of course, technology on its own can never take the place of pounding the pavements in certain investigations, however, using this two pronged approach brings evidence to light a lot faster than ever before, cutting down costs for clients as well.

A private investigator has to be as tech savvy as criminals are today, and they are definitely in a war zone when it comes to keeping up with these criminals using technology as a weapon to commit a variety of crimes.

Here are a few tech gadgets used by investigators that won’t give their deepest secrets away!

Spyware technology

A private investigator will be able to install spyware technology that will make sure you don’t have any spyware on your computers or mobile phones, doing this by mimicking keystrokes to follow the search patterns of the subject under surveillance, who will remain unaware that they’re being watched.

If all clients want is the truth for themselves it’s legal, however, as it is with GPS tracking, this type of acquisition of evidence isn’t accepted in a court of law, but can help with dismissals of employees.

GPS tracking systems

If you have a fleet of company vehicles and trucks you need keeping track of, you are completely within your rights to have a private investigator install the GPS tracking device on your vehicles.

The driver of the company vehicle does not have to give approval for the tracking device to be used as the vehicle is not in his or her name.

Technology has made it easy to plant tracking devices in vehicles without detection, to the extent that they can be attached to the steering column in a vehicle without being detectable.

When it comes to hiring a cheating spouse detective, keeping track of a cheating wife or husband via GPS tracking is a lot more complicated. The only way a GPS tracking device can be installed on a vehicle your spouse is driving is if the vehicle is registered in your name. If not, data gathered through the use of GPS tracking will be considered inadmissible in court in this situation.

Voice stress analysis tests

Many people can lie straight-faced, without blinking an eye, but, a voice stress analysis test carried out by a professional investigator will tell the true story without much effort, even if questions are asked over a phone!

It’s as simple as measuring words, levels of excitement and stress that can be measured with this tool, making it an excellent tool that can indicate how truthful the speaker is at the time of the test. These tests can be carried out via phone, recording or in a face to face situation.

Micro cameras & videos

A micro-camera is a perfect way for a private investigator to carry out undercover surveillance without being noticed by the subject under investigation at all!

These cameras can also be used to capture images of documents that could lead to hidden assets or a crime in progress.

Into the future with PI’s & technology

There’s no doubt that technology and software will be making giant leaps into the future, which means that private investigators are going to have to up their own game by becoming as tech savvy as many criminals are.

Jacques Botha, owner of King Investigators in South Africa, will tell you that he and his investigators put a lot of work into becoming as tech savvy as criminals are today.

Superb exploratory and analytical skills are essential here, where, in tandem with being out in the field, data bases need to be scoured for the right type of information to open up evidence to close a case.

Through integrity, excellence, knowledge and experience, King Investigators assures clients that whether criminal or civil, the evidence presented by this professional team will be fully admissible in any court when needed!

Contact King Investigators in Pretoria today, let Jacques introduce you to how he and his team of investigators can assist in making your case watertight.

 

No private investigator will ever experience the privilege’s of 9-5 days!

Being a private investigator impacts every part of a life time-wise, eating into weekends and nights, as well as putting paid to regular holidays, and in the field of private investigations 9-5 days are definitely an impossibility in most cases.

Consider the time it takes for a private investigator on an undercover investigation to sit in a car or any other position for hours on end. Then figure in the fact that the investigator still needs time doing additional research on the case, which adds even more pressure on an investigator working on a time-sensitive case.

There’s no doubt that in order for a professional PI to deliver untainted evidence, he has to adhere to a strict code of conduct that governs his profession, which is best for you, because you get your money’s worth out of the investigation when you have good evidence

Owner of King Investigators, Jacques Botha and his team, are licensed private investigators who are also registered with the PSIRA, which is the body that regulates the security industry in order to protect clients and investigators alike.

Despite the fact that King Investigators are the number one cheating spouse detectives in South Africa, they are also a full-service investigations firm, able to tackle many different kinds of cases, whether for individuals or businesses.

Since no role in an investigation remains stagnant, ongoing training, excellent skills in undercover surveillance, an absolute dedication to training and keeping up with the latest technological developments are absolutely necessary to bring a case to a successful conclusion.

Here’s what a PI needs to know well to provide irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing in any case:

Preferably a background in law enforcement

While not being a requirement, you’ll find that most private investigators come from a background in the police or other arms of law enforcement, which is definitely a benefit when it comes to having a working knowledge of investigating out in the field.

This is obvious because of constant changes and challenges faced by the private investigator in a broad range of services, and, since every case is different to the next, nothing beats a background in law enforcement.

An ability to carry out full-service investigations

The team at King Investigators is able to provide full-service investigations, which means that they are able to tackle many different types of cases, such as those for individuals, business owners planning to invest in a company to protect their interests or assisting attorneys in divorce, criminal or custody cases.

A working knowledge of the law

Though there isn’t a need for a formal education in law to practice as a PI, a working knowledge of law is an absolute must.

If a PI ignores the need for this legal knowledge and goes outside of the professional code of conduct that’s enforced by the PSIRA, all you’ll have in the end is inadmissible evidence that’ll be thrown out in a court case.

An ability to function well under pressure

Undercover surveillance carries a great element of danger for any private investigator and, he has to be able to move quickly to adjust as the surveillance conditions change. Then, he has to spend hours sifting through evidence and do research on reams of paperwork, which is a complete shift in gear for him.

The ability to function well under all kinds of pressure takes a massive amount of the training, time and effort in order to deliver a quality final report to a client, but these are qualities essential to the successful conclusion of a case.

A commitment to transparency, honesty & integrity

Despite the fact that there are still, as in any profession, those who’ll take advantage of people who have no idea about what an investigation entails, and lead them around an expensive bush that leaves the client with useless evidence!

However, with Jacques Botha and his team of investigators, you’ll know from the get-go, depending on the investigation, where your money will be going. This is a firm committed to dealing with clients through honesty, transparency and integrity, which is what has earned King Investigators the number one spot they’ve held for over ten years now.

Should you choose to work with the best private investigators in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town, contact King Investigators for a confidential chat that’ll make it easier to do what needs to be done for your own peace of mind, no matter what the outcome may be!

Economic crime targeting businesses has risen to an all-time high in South Africa

Unfortunately, since the dawn of time people have cheated, lied and stolen, and, whether you own a major corporation or small business, you may well end up with employee theft in many forms affecting your balance sheet.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that shut businesses down overnight has destroyed our economy, and though many are now doing business as usual, it stands to reason that economic crimes are even greater today and the losses businesses have yet to face could be catastrophic as they try to get back on their feet.

No company can afford the kind of losses that are being experienced in business, and when figures like R1.2-million in losses per year are being thrown around, on the heels of a surge in economic crime hitting the 77% mark since 2016, it’s time to become proactive about protection from these crimes.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, in their Global economic and fraud survey 2018 South Africa, two in every three organisations have been, and still are, victims of economic crime. If ever there was a time for businesses to take proactive steps about economic crime and the need to implement active strategies in order to protect the interests of the business, it is now!

At some time, every business in South Africa will face losses through white collar crime, whether internally or externally driven, and, up to 50% of economic crimes have been attributed to employees, meaning that ‘inside jobs’ are responsible for a major percentage of loss experienced by most businesses today.

What to be on the lookout for in your company to protect your business interests

Misappropriation of assets.

Asset misappropriation is fraud at its very worst and most diverse. It can involve anything from theft of money or goods, as well as diverting company funds into the bank account of an employee, which costs businesses millions of Rands every year.

Fraud in accounting departments

Fraud in accounting departments is huge today, and ranges from covering up the fact that company products are stolen to covering up money that should reflect in the company account.

Fraud in payroll departments

Creating fictitious employees or even fictitious overtime for employees by those working in payroll departments gives employees the perfect way to line their own pockets and siphon company money into their own bank accounts.

Sadly, in desperate times such as we find ourselves today, even an employee in charge of the payroll, that may have been with the company for many years and is therefore above suspicion, can be tempted to manipulate timesheets or inflate overtime.

Theft of valuable data

Data theft has become a very lucrative side-line for employees, especially with the increase in organised crime syndicates today, and your customer databases and trade secrets can earn these employees a tidy sum from outside traders!

Outright corruption

Corruption is rife in our country, from the lowliest of employees to government officials, and, there is a huge amount of money to be made from making up false amounts on invoices to suppliers, or accepting kickbacks of any kind that is to the detriment of your business. No matter how the corruption is carried out, it is always going to cause you the greatest loss, and more often than not, it won’t be discovered until it’s too late to do anything about it without professional help.

Let King Investigators in South Africa help you to take a proactive approach to economic crime in your business

If your spouse is sexting & indulging in online affairs does it mean you’re being cheated on?

Because it’s still a bit of a grey area when you think about whether the fact that your spouse is sexting and having virtual affairs online could mean you’re actually being cheating on, one has to tread a bit carefully.

A lot of people consider having virtual affairs harmless, but are they?

The truth is that a far greater majority of people do feel betrayed and cheated on by the sexual nature of certain online ‘conversations’. They in fact feel that their spouse may as well be carrying on an affair in the ‘real’ world.

There’s no doubt that some people feel that the marriage vows or commitments made to each other are being violated by an online affair, even though there’s no physical contact

Even though there’s no physical contact involved in an online affair, the innocent spouse still feels that the vows that brought them and their partner together have been violated anyway, despite a lack of physical contact.

Virtual affairs can include things like exchanging sexually explicit photos on a mobile phone, or, sexually explicit exchanges via email. For a large majority of people, virtual sexually and romantically explicit affairs create a sense of betrayal that can be every bit as deep as it could if the affair were on the physical level.

Signs your partner is indulging in secret online cheating and sexting:

Noticeable changes in behaviour

A good tell-tale sign that may indicate your spouse is cheating online will be if there are noticeable changes in the way your spouse normally behaves.  No doubt about it, guilt about sexting or involvement in an online affair could lead to two extremes in behaviour; either your spouse becomes unusually attentive, or, he or she withdraws completely. If asked if something is going on you can expect anger as a defence.

Mobile devices that are now password protected

If you and your spouse have had an open relationship where it comes to cell phones and other devices and you’re suddenly locked out by new passwords and pins, it’s a red flag you should take note of.

If emails are closed hastily or web pages quickly shut down when you come into the room, it may be time to ask the hard questions about whether or not your spouse is cheating online.

New social media accounts kept secret

If you suspect that something is going on, keep an eye out for secret social media accounts in the name of your spouse, or, if you’re a friend of your spouse, keep an eye out for contacts you don’t recognise.  Remember, a virtual affair a social media site won’t reflect in timelines, but messages on these platforms are private to the account holder.

Unusual instant responses to online contacts

When answering emails and texts immediately suddenly becomes an obsession with your spouse, you may need to listen to what your sixth sense is telling you.

Millions are addicted to cell phones, laptops and/or computers, so this isn’t necessarily a sign you’re being cheated on, it’s just when the behaviour changes that you may want to pay attention.

Can you face the truth

If online cheating, flirting and sexting falls into the category of cheating for you, there’s no doubt that the double life your spouse is living between you and the virtual affair will ultimately bring pain into your relationship.

It would then be better for you to confront the issue head on, so that your spouse knows that what crosses the line into a full-fledged online affair is just one small step away from the real thing as far as you’re concerned.

If you’re strong enough to want the truth and you suspect that your spouse is cheating, hire a reputable cheating spouse detective in South Africa by contacting King Investigators for a confidential chat.

Though this will not be an easy call to make, you will at the very least, be dealing with private investigators who’ll treat you and your case with the utmost sensitivity you deserve under the circumstances!

Private investigators – digging for the truth wherever they need to go

When all general avenues of collecting evidence accessible to the public have been exhausted, we turn to private investigators to dig for the truth, no matter where they have to go in specific cases.

A private investigator has to be able to work across a variety of platforms, which could include investigations into cheating spouses, business intelligence investigations, background checks and carrying out polygraph tests.

In order to do these crossover investigations, the highest level of training backed up by years of experience has to apply to an investigator you hire, to make sure that the results will be the truth.

Evidence can be compromised through inexperience or a lack of training on the part of the PI, which means you’d end up with evidence that will be thrown out of court and be of no value to you.

In the world of a private investigator, all that matters is uncovering any information that’s hidden and inaccessible to the average man in the street, which is where the networks and tools PI’s use are of fundamental importance to any case.

Who hires private investigators?

Attorneys

There are many different reasons that attorneys will use a private investigator, and in most cases, they tend to stick with one private investigator they can trust for honest results gathered according to the law governing evidence gathering.

Private investigators are able to assist attorneys in locating people who have skipped bail or are avoiding appearing at court.  Private investigators also interview witnesses to ensure that no important information has been missed before a case goes to court.

Individuals in their personal capacity

Individuals hire King Investigators in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town in their personal capacity for a variety of reasons. These include anything from tracing missing people to uncovering evidence that a spouse is cheating. They are often hired to uncover hidden assets in divorce cases as well as to gather evidence of abuse or mistreatment of children involved in custody battles.

Owners of businesses

A private investigator is of immense value to business owners who are intent on taking a proactive approach to protecting his business interests.

The investigator will assess whether or not there is a risk to company security by providing detailed information on a potential employee. They are also able to in-depth background checks on a partner the owner may be planning to take on board,.  These are just a few of the ways in which private investigators are useful to business owners.

Police & law enforcement agencies

In general, private investigators can find further evidence need by the police in order to charge someone with a crime, due to the legal constraints that bind them.  This however doesn’t mean that Private Investigators are above the law.

Where the PI can assist is that when the police services have reached a point where they are unable to continue a criminal investigation, the private investigator can step in to gather further vital evidence that’ll assist them in making a case against a suspect.

There are many other roles that private investigators play, however, because some specialise in specific fields, it’s essential for you to ensure the private investigator you are going to hire has the necessary training and background to provide the results required in your specific case.

If you’re planning on hiring a private investigator in South Africa, start by contacting King Investigators to find out more about the wide variety of investigations this team is able to undertake on your behalf.

Not all private investigators fit the image of the dodgy, slinking gumshoe slouching around in his hat and long coat as portrayed on television and on screen. There are those who are a breed apart, which includes King Investigators, who operate only on a level of honesty and integrity, putting paid to the darker connotations attached to their profession.

This is why clients choose to rely on and trust King Investigators:

Over 10 years in the industry

As a licensed private investigator with over ten years’ worth of experience, owner of King Investigators Jacques Botha, is able to call on extensive experience in a variety of fields that involve tackling many different types of investigations for individuals or business owners.

Having worked in high risk investigations in South Africa and overseas, Jacques and his team bring extensive experience to the table on any investigation.

Many labour under the misconception that life as a private investigator is glamorous and exciting, but that’s a myth. Investigations mean that, the investigator has to have excellent analytical and exploratory skills to explore and analyse mountains of documents, which are often part of the job when it’s important to expose hidden information on behalf of a client.

Training in the field

The team at King Investigators tick all the right boxes in terms of the extensive training they have all undergone, in a variety of essential skills and the knowledge to use the latest tools in an investigation.

Book learning can never produce an exceptional investigator, what does is the combination of the theoretical along with experience in the field. This is where above average private investigators become the best.

Carrying out undercover surveillance demands that the investigator remain undetected by the subject being observed, and only training and experience in the field can equip a professional with the right tools to do so.

Undercover investigations come with risks, which is something any good investigator prepares for in order not to compromise an investigation in a way that would cause danger for the client or for himself.

Transparency & integrity

Along with the essential qualities of transparency and integrity, the team at King Investigators operate from a fundamental basis of honesty, and this applies to all their investigations, without exception.  You can rely on the fact that this team won’t pad expense accounts, or to add other expenses that are not necessary to the successful conclusion of an investigation.

It would be very difficult to find an investigative company that’s more up front about the financial aspects of an investigation than the team at King Investigators are.

Results driven

King Investigators offer an exceptional tenacity where it comes to producing results and to producing them as quickly as possible. This is done so that they don’t waste the client’s time or charge more than is absolutely necessary.

Confidentiality

King Investigators have a reputation they are proud of, and they maintain it by giving clients absolute peace of mind regarding the confidentiality of their information. It will be kept in a secure place that cannot be accessed by anyone with criminal intentions.
