As scams grow more convincing and screens become part of everyday life, knowledge remains the strongest form of protection we have.
Johannesburg, South Africa (18 February 2026) – A message, a click, a moment online can change everything… which is why conversations about cyber safety matter more than ever. This week’s episode of ‘Good Things with Brent Lindeque‘ does exactly that, shifting the narrative towards understanding, awareness and the good that exists within the digital space.
On this week’s poddie, I sat down with Rianette Leibowitz, the founder of SaveTNet Cyber Safety, a Brand South Africa Play Your Part Ambassador, author of ‘Maak jou kind SKERMSLIM’, TV and podcast presenter and digital parenting expert. Rianette has spent more than a decade helping South Africans navigate the online world safely, while supporting victims of cybercrime and educating families, schools and organisations.
We chatted about what cyber safety looks like in 2026, unpacking how both kids and adults can show up online with greater awareness and confidence. The conversation touched on scammers, why they are becoming more sophisticated and practical ways to avoid being caught out, without turning the digital world into something scary or overwhelming. Most importantly, we focused on the good things about the cyber space, from connection and education to the power of informed choices.
When we understand the online world better, we are far more equipped to use it safely, wisely and in ways that genuinely add value to our lives.
