Reporting a cybercrime really depends on the capacity of the police station you report a cybercrime at and their understanding of the law. In theory, you should be able to report a cybercrime to any police station, but practically, not every police station is equipped to deal with your case. We discuss these shortcomings as demonstrated in Buchler v Minister of SAPS, where the court emphasised that there is a knowledge gap within the police when dealing with cybercrime and that there is a need to train police officers around cybercrime and their responsibilities.
