Top Private Investigators ZA

Private investigators in Cape Town, South Africa often work for attorneys or lawyers in civil cases. Many work for insurance companies in Johannesburg or Cape Town to investigate suspicious claims. Before the advent of no-fault divorce, many top private investigators in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban were hired to search out evidence of adultery or other conduct within marriage to establish grounds for a divorce. Despite the lack of legal necessity for such evidence in many jurisdictions in South Africa, according to press reports collecting evidence of adultery or other "bad behaviour" by spouses and partners is still one of the most profitable activities private investigators in South Africa undertake, as the stakes being fought over now are child custody, alimony, or marital property disputes.

Some top private investigators are ex-police officers, some are former law enforcement agents, some are ex-spies and some are ex-military, some used to work in a private military company, some are former bodyguards and security guards, although many are not.
