• About Us

  • Private Investigator Cape Town

    Private Investigator Cape Town is a professional private investigation service operating in Cape Town, South Africa, and assisting both local and international clients. Our investigations are conducted by experienced, licensed professionals operating under PI Services – Private Detective Agency, one of South Africa’s established investigation firms.

    We specialise in discreet, evidence-focused investigations for individuals, legal professionals, and businesses, always working within the boundaries of South African law and ethical practice.

  • Our Experience & Leadership

    The agency is led by Jaco van Schalkwyk, an experienced private investigator with over a decade of involvement in complex investigative matters across both the private and corporate sectors.

    Our team has handled a wide range of investigations, including:

    • Fraud and financial misconduct

    • Corporate and internal investigations

    • Employee theft and workplace misconduct

    • Background checks and due diligence

    • Surveillance and intelligence gathering

    • Tracing and asset-related enquiries

    Every investigation is approached with professional judgement, discretion, and accuracy, ensuring our clients receive reliable factual information — not assumptions.

  • Our Investigative Philosophy

    We believe private investigation should be:

    • Lawful

    • Ethical

    • Evidence-driven

    • Client-focused

    Our role is to gather, verify, and document information in a professional manner that allows clients to make informed decisions, whether for personal, corporate, or legal purposes.

    We do not promise outcomes or results. Instead, we focus on delivering clear findings, properly documented and communicated with transparency.

  • Working With Legal & Regulatory Frameworks

    All investigations are conducted in accordance with South African legislation, including industry regulations and privacy requirements. Where matters involve potential criminal or civil proceedings, our role remains strictly within the scope of private investigation and evidence support.

    We do not replace law enforcement or legal counsel. We provide independent investigative support that may assist clients and their appointed professionals.

  • Confidentiality & Professional Conduct

    Confidentiality is central to our work.

    We understand the sensitive nature of many investigations and apply strict information-handling protocols to protect our clients at all times. Every case is treated individually, with discretion, respect, and professionalism.
