The Madlanga Commission hearings\, which commenced in September 2025\, have already produced shocking testimony that demands urgent attention from all stakeholders in governance\, law enforcement\, and civil society. \nWhat’s Been Revealed: \nCrime Intelligence boss Dumisani Khumalo has detailed information about a sophisticated\, organised criminal syndicate labelled the “Big Five\,” with a Gauteng-based cartel allegedly involved in drug trafficking\, hijackings\, tender fraud\, and contract killings.  Recent testimony has exposed alleged links between top police officials and crime boss Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala\, including claims of monthly bribes of up to R1 million and contributions of R500\,000 toward political campaigns\, as reported by the Daily Maverick. \nWhat Makes This Critical: \nPresident Ramaphosa established this commission because these allegations\, if proven true\, threaten to undermine South Africans’ confidence in the South African Police Service’s ability to protect them and effectively fight crime and corruption.

BEC fraud is so common in South Africa that there is hardly any investigator that has not yet heard about this type of fraud\, or even potentially been asked to investigate this type of fraud. The questions we need to ask are about the extent of the problem and whether investigators really understand the crime and the criminal( s) behind it? \nWhile we have evidence from the cases that we work on in South Africa that the problem is bad\, there are no official statistics on BEC\, which means that we have no idea as to the actual number of victims or the total losses incurred in any year. This is not surprising considering that the CAS system used by the Sout Africa Police Service to register cases\, makes no actual provision to distinguish between BEC and other types of fraud. \nPresenter: Mr Jason Jordaan\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jason is a passionate digital forensics\, incident response\, eDiscovery and cybercrime investigation professional who strongly believes in finding the facts and solving problems\, that often have a very real human cost. He served for 18 years in law enforcement as a detective and digital forensics examiner\, before moving into the private sector\, which has allowed him to continue making a difference in a bigger operational area. In addition to actually doing the work\, he loves developing people that want to get into these fields and enjoy mentoring the next generation of forensic investigators. He is also an active academic and researcher in these disciplines and a published author in these disciplines.\n \n \n \nRegister\n  URL:https://www.icfp.co.za/event/business-e-mail-compromise/ CATEGORIES:International Fraud Week ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.icfp.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/BEC1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20221116T100000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20221116T120000 DTSTAMP:20221019T112553Z CREATED:20221019T111308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221019T112553Z UID:3183-1668592800-1668600000@www.icfp.co.za SUMMARY:The rise of the syndicate DESCRIPTION:With International Fraud Week coming up\, CMS and the Institute for Commercial Forensic Practitioners have partnered to bring you a workshop on “The rise of the syndicate: a consideration of organised crime\, its impact on organisations and what organisations can do to fight back”. \nIn this session\, our speakers will consider: \n\nOrganised crime and its impact on organisations;\nKey risks organisations face in relation to\, amongst others\, business hijacking\, theft of intellectual property\, money laundering and cybercrime attacks;\nKey legislation aimed at tackling organised crime.
