defenceWeb Written by ISS Africa - 3 A new law brings South Africa up to international standards for fighting cybercrime. With a global spike in internet-based offences, partly driven by more people working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn’t come soon enough. The country’s well-developed financial infrastructure makes it an attractive target for cyber criminals who use the internet for extortion, fraud, child pornography, human trafficking and selling illicit goods. Advocate Doctor Mashabane describes South Africa’s Cybercrimes Act as ‘a groundbreaking and decisive step in the country’s cyber governance and policy space.’ Mashabane is Director-General in the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development and South Africa’s former Cyber Envoy to the United Nations.
