Cybersecurity Specialist & Podcast Host

I studied cybersecurity with a deep passion for keeping people safe on the internet and preventing scams before they happen. After seeing how many South Africans fall victim to increasingly sophisticated digital threats, I started CyberSense to spread practical awareness in just 3-4 minutes a week — because everyone deserves to feel secure online.

My goal is to make CyberSense a trusted feature on community and commercial radio stations across South Africa, bringing accessible cyber safety tips to every corner of the country.
