Regarding Rodney Charl van Rensburg & ISS Investigations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DATE: February 25, 2026
It has come to our attention that certain private security entities, specifically Mike Bolhuis and Specialised Security Services (SSS), continue to circulate outdated and defamatory "public warnings" regarding Rodney Charl van Rensburg.
As professionals in the South African Private Investigative industry, we prioritize regulatory compliance and forensic integrity. We hereby issue the following formal correction to the false narrative currently being disseminated.
1. VERIFIED PSIRA COMPLIANCE
Contrary to the "Public Warning" dated February 19, 2026, which labels Mr. Van Rensburg as "illegal," the official record stands as follows:
NAME: Rodney Charl van Rensburg
PSIRA REGISTRATION NO: 144956
STATUS: FULLY REGISTERED / ACTIVE
QUALIFICATIONS: Grade A, CIT, and Instructor Grades.
The claim that Mr. Van Rensburg is operating with an expired license is demonstrably false. While administrative processing times within PSIRA vary, Mr. Van Rensburg has met all regulatory requirements. Labeling a registered professional as "illegal" constitutes actionable defamation under South African law.
2. "INDUSTRY GATEKEEPING" VS. LEGAL FACT
The South African investigative landscape is frequently marred by "industry gatekeeping"—a tactic where high-visibility platforms are used to target independent investigators to maintain a market monopoly.
The Allegation: Using historical disputes or "pending" statuses to create a veneer of criminality.
The Reality: ISS Investigations operates under a valid legal mandate, delivering high-level forensic and criminal expertise earned through decades of specialized service.
3. MANDATORY VERIFICATION FOR THE PUBLIC
We urge the public, industry peers, and the media to rely on Official Regulatory Portals rather than social media "projects" or vigilante-style reporting.
How to verify the facts:
PSIRA Online Portal: www.psira.co.za
SMS Verification: Send the ID number or PSIRA number to the official regulatory line.
You will find that Rodney Charl van Rensburg stands in Good Standing with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority.
CONCLUSION
ISS Investigations remains committed to the highest standards of justice and forensic truth. We will not be intimidated by sensationalist reporting that ignores current legal facts. Mr. Van Rensburg continues to operate with a valid license and an unwavering commitment to his clients.
STOP THE DISINFORMATION. VERIFY THE STATUS.
