Tshenolo PI is Tshenolo Private Investigations, established 2015 and based in Pretoria North. It publishes two numbers and one mailbox, and it labels the numbers differently from each other – which matters, because one of them does not take calls the way you would expect.

Tshenolo Private Investigations
- Office number: 012 001 9951
- Calls only: 066 472 7099
- E-mail: [email protected]
- Address: 248 Eeufees Street, Pretoria North, 0116
The company labels 066 472 7099 as calls only, which is its own way of saying do not send a message to it and expect a reply. Use 012 001 9951 or the mailbox if you want something in writing. The mailbox is a business address rather than an individual’s, so it survives whoever answers.
What the firm says it does
It describes itself as a 100% black-owned South African investigations company handling criminal investigations, corporate investigations and missing persons, with extortion and blackmail matters, vehicle asset enquiries and fraud enquiry reports named among its services. Its published testimonials also mention camera installation work, so the offering spans investigation and security technology rather than one or the other.
The bank details on the site are not repeated here
The home page prints a full bank account – holder, account type, account number and branch code – under a request for donations. This directory does not republish anyone’s banking details, however openly they are published, because a copied account number is the single easiest thing for a third party to alter before it reaches you. If you intend to pay this business anything, read the details off tshenolopi.co.za yourself in the same session, and confirm them by telephone on 012 001 9951 before you transfer. Treat any account number that arrives by e-mail or WhatsApp as unverified until you have done that.
Before you hire any private investigator in South Africa
- Private investigation is a regulated security service. Ask for the firm’s PSiRA registration number and the registration of the individual who will do the work, then check both on PSiRA’s own register rather than taking a certificate photo at face value.
- Agree in writing what the deliverable is – a report, photographs, a tracing result – and what happens to the fee if the investigation finds nothing.
- Evidence gathered unlawfully can be excluded and can expose you as well. Ask how the firm intends to obtain what it is promising.
