Cyber Inspectors appointed by Film Publications Board

The Film and Publications Board has finally appointed two cyber inspectors. Specifically they will be investigate and respond to complaints logged with the anti-child pornography hotline (0800 148 148). Recently I spoke to the CEO, Shokie Bopape-Dlomo, telling her about my Parents Guide to MXit, my background in IT Security.
