Who TLD Private Investigators are
TLD Private Investigators started with a simple idea: people with a private worry deserve a private, local and honest answer. More than 10 years later, that is still the job. Most clients come to us with something personal: a partner, a missing relative, a threat, or someone they met online.
Your case stays with one investigator from start to finish, and that investigator lives in the area they work. It makes a difference when the question is where someone goes on a Tuesday night.
TLD Private Investigators is registered with PSIRA, which regulates South Africa's private security industry. Every client gets the price before any work begins, a plain-language report at the end, and a conversation to make sense of it. T's and C's apply.
How TLD Private Investigators work
Six habits run through every case, whatever it is about.
Discretion first
Contact only on your terms, at times that are safe for you, with your name kept out of the picture.
One person, start to finish
The investigator you speak to first is the one who keeps you updated and talks you through the report.
Reports in plain language
Who, where and when, with photographs wherever they help, written so anyone can follow it.
The price before the work
You know what the work will cost before anything starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Local knowledge
Investigators who live where they work know the roads, the taxi routes and the places people go.
An honest first conversation
If a case is not worth the money, you will hear that from us on the first call.
What TLD Private Investigators help with
Every one of our private investigation services is explained in more detail on its own page. These are the cases that reach us most.
Partners
Late nights and new phone habits that stop making sense. Our cheating spouse investigators take these cases quietly.
Observation
Insurance claims, staff concerns and personal matters, through covert surveillance.
People who moved
Former tenants, debtors and lost relatives, found through skip tracing.
Missing family
Relatives who have disappeared, searched for by a missing person investigator.
Threats
Sextortion, threats from an ex and pressure on a business: our blackmail and extortion help.
Online matches
Checking whether the person you met is real, through dating scam investigations.
Stalled matters
An independent, discreet second look when a criminal investigation has gone quiet.
Which sounds most like you?
Choose one to see where TLD Private Investigators would usually begin.
Start with a quiet conversation
Most of our clients are individuals with something on their mind they cannot share with anyone else. Tell us what is going on, in your own words.
Searches, traces and second opinions
Families come to us when someone has gone missing, gone quiet, or got caught up with the wrong person.
Find the person, then decide
Former tenants and debtors who moved without a word are usually still close by. We work out where they are now.
Quiet answers about staff and suppliers
Absences, stock losses and suppliers who took a deposit and disappeared. Handled discreetly, around your working day.
Observation that settles a claim
A few well-chosen days of observation usually show whether a claim holds up.
The people behind TLD Private Investigators
Our investigators work from six centres and come to the job from different backgrounds. What they share is patience, a sharp eye for detail and a calm, respectful way with people who are going through something difficult.
Each case is handled by an investigator based in or near the area involved, with the wider team behind them when a case crosses provinces. You will always know who your contact is.
We keep learning, because the way people meet, move and talk keeps changing, and so do the cases that reach us.
Can you trust TLD Private Investigators?
It is a fair question to ask any firm. Check that the investigator is registered, ask who exactly will work on your case, and ask for the price before you pay anything. The private investigator cost guide shows what drives the price, and the private detective near me guide lists the questions worth asking.
