ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The racing pace of change does not stop for anyone. When South Africa promulgated the Cybercrimes Act, 19 of 2020, a revolution occurred in respect of the state of our criminal law dealing with cybercrime. The related fields regarding the law of evidence and that of criminal procedure were also not left unscathed by this. This study focuses on exactly how the existing law in South Africa is amended, expanded or otherwise influenced by this latest legislative step. There is also a deeper exploration of the interchange between new concepts and acts common to the cybersphere, and the law which attempts to govern it. No study of this nature will be complete without a journey into the corresponding law of advanced foreign jurisdictions, who have had to overcome challenges already and who have since adopted appropriate solutions in regards to combating cyber crime. Obviously, this journey’s value lies in the practical application of beneficial information within our local context, and thus the comparative method is used to contextualise the information so gathered. Throughout the study, a continuous narrative attempts to strike a balance between expanding upon the overarching fields of law in this regard, how each one is affected by sweeping legislative amendments brought about by the addition of the Cybercrimes Act 19 of 2020, and the finer detail of exactly how this translates into a practical difference upon its potential execution. At the same time this study paves the way for further research into this, as yet untapped field, stretching towards an unknown future horizon, in regards to cybercrime law and the related fields of law which are affected by it. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die snelle pas van verandering staan vir geeneen stil nie. Met die promulgering van die Wet op Kubermisdade, 19 van 2020, in Suid-Afrika het daar ‘n omwenteling plaasgevind met die stand van ons strafreg ten opsigte van kubermisdaad. Aanverwante regsvelde soos die bewys- en strafprosesreg is ook nie onaangeraak hierdeur nie. Hierdie studie is gefokus op hoe presies die bestaande Suid-Afrikaanse reg gewysig, uitgebou of andersins beïnvloed is deur dié nuutste wetgewende stap. Daar word ook dieper ingegaan na die wisselwerking tussen nuwe konsepte en handelinge wat in die kubersfeer plaasvind en die reg wat poog om dit te reguleer. Geen so ‘n studie sal volledig wees sonder ‘n ekskursie na die ooreenstemmende reg van gevorderde buitelandse jurisdiksies, wat reeds uitdagings met betrekking tot die bekamping van kubermisdaad die hoof moes bied en oplossings daarvoor gevind het. So ‘n ekskursie se waarde lê uiteraard in die praktiese aanwending van inligting wat nuttig sal wees vir toepassing daarvan binne ons plaaslike konteks, en daarom gebruik hierdie studie die regsvergelykende metode vir kontekstualisering van dié inligting wat verkry is. Vanuit die staanspoor is daar gepoog om ‘n balans te tref, in ‘n deurlopende narratief, tussen uiteensetting van die oorhoofse velde van die reg wat hier ter sprake is, hoe elkeen geraak word deur die onlangse inwerkingtreding van die Wet op Kubermisdade, en dan die fynere detail van presies hoe dit op praktiese vlak ‘n verskil teweeg sal bring by die potensiële uitvoering daarvan. Terselfdertyd baan hierdie studie die weg vir verdere navorsing in dié braakland wat tot op hede uitgestrek lê tot by ‘n onbekende toekomstige horison, wat die reg rondom kubermisdaad en die velde van die reg wat daaraan verwant is betref.
