New Complaints and Allegations Concerning Rodney Charl van Rensburg and ISS Investigations
September 4, 2026 4:31 am
This article provides an updated summary of complaints and allegations that have been reported concerning Mr. Rodney Charl van Rensburg and the entity known as ISS Investigations.
The information below is based on complaints, statements, and case-related material supplied to the investigators involved. The allegations should be considered as claims under investigation unless and until they are established through the appropriate legal process.
1. PSIRA Registration Status
Following the publication of the previous warning, Mr. Van Rensburg reportedly took steps to update his registration with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA). The information provided to investigators indicates that his current registration number is 144956.
However, registration with PSiRA does not by itself establish whether a particular complaint or allegation is valid. Professional registration and the conduct alleged in individual complaints are separate matters.
2. New Complaints Reported
Since the earlier warning was issued, investigators say they have received a significant number of additional complaints from individuals who describe similar experiences.
According to the investigative material, more than 15 people reportedly provided information or supporting evidence within one week. By August 2026, the master investigative file, identified as Case RC 04/2026, reportedly contained complaints from more than 18 named individuals.
The reported similarities between these complaints are now part of the ongoing investigation.
3. Alleged Pattern of Conduct
Several complainants have described what they believe to be a recurring pattern involving the promotion of investigative and surveillance-related services.
The reported pattern includes:
- Initial contact: Services such as phone debugging, surveillance, cellular monitoring, and related investigative assistance were allegedly promoted through platforms including Facebook Marketplace.
- Multiple payments: Some complainants say they were asked to make several payments rather than paying one complete fee. The amounts reportedly ranged from approximately R3,000 to R7,500 for different services or packages.
- Disputes over refunds: Some clients claim that problems arose when they requested results, supporting evidence or refunds after paying for services.
- Alleged retaliation: Certain complainants further allege that sensitive information relating to their investigations was used during disputes and that they were threatened with disclosure of that information.
- Social media allegations: Investigators also report complaints concerning social media posts allegedly made against former clients following disputes over services or payments.
These claims remain allegations and should be assessed against the available evidence and any response provided by the parties involved.
4. Reported Case: Henley Gebhardt
One of the cases included in the investigative material concerns Henley Gebhardt, who reportedly contacted Mr. Van Rensburg in May 2026 regarding assistance with a sensitive matter involving phone debugging and cellular spyware.
According to the complaint, Gebhardt made several payments totalling approximately R7,750 for services that reportedly included debugging, a spyware package, and CCTV-related material.
The complaint states that the expected material was not provided, including the alleged spyware link, CCTV footage, and forensic information.
Alleged Dispute and Social-Media Post
According to Gebhardt’s account, she requested a refund after the services were allegedly not delivered as expected. She further alleges that she was threatened with disclosure of the investigation to her partner.
The complaint also alleges that a subsequent social media post described her and her business, ZZJ Livestock and Foods, as fraudulent.
These claims are disputed matters and should be considered in light of the evidence submitted to the relevant authorities.
Reported Legal Action
The material supplied for this investigation states that Gebhardt subsequently opened a criminal case at Middelburg SAPS, recorded under CAS 252/7/2026, concerning allegations of fraud and defamation.
It also states that an interim protection order was obtained against Mr. Van Rensburg.
Readers should rely on official case records and court documentation for the current legal status of these proceedings.
