Fikile Tshabalala

I’m a highly analytical, detail-oriented Forensic Science graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Forensic Science and Technology, grounded in forensic investigation methodologies, ACFE professional standards, and case management protocols. I’m committed to professional integrity and the delivery of precise, evidence-based results within the Public Service.

Since 2021, I’ve served as a Lead Forensic Investigator, managing the full lifecycle of preliminary forensic reviews—planning deliverables, managing timelines, and aligning work with Chief Directorate methodologies and strict quality standards. I compile investigation phase deliverables using electronic software and maintain data integrity through disciplined weekly progress reporting.

I also own closure phase deliverables, including the compilation of electronic audit software files and final project reporting. I conduct detailed interviews and apply analytical problem-solving to resolve complex investigative inconsistencies, with a strong focus on non-conformances and strategic recommendations.

Before my forensic lead work, I worked as a Technical Analyst (Engineering & Maintenance) at Tshwane South TVET College, applying rigorous technical standards to calibration and maintenance of high-precision apparatus. I ensured 100% compliance with safety and legislative procedures, managed digital record-keeping, and filed closure documents according to institutional policy.
