I've been fortunate enough to work as a Cybersecurity Analyst Intern at both Capitec Bank and Purple Group (EasyEquities). In 2024, I made the massive discovery of fraud in the SASSA SRD Grant System alongside a friend. After many interviews, we eventually made our way to present our findings to the Parliament of South Africa.
