Premier Alan Winde says more than R40 million has been set aside to fight cybercrime in the Western Cape.

He delivered his office’s yearly budget to the Provincial Parliament earlier today and said the funds had been allocated in his office’s 2022/2023 budget to fight this type of crime.

In total, his office’s budget for the financial year stands at just more than R1,8 billion.
