Frikkie Jonker is the broadcasting cybersecurity anti-piracy director at Irdeto and is a key player in the ongoing DStv piracy crackdown in South Africa.
Jonker started his career in the South African National Defence Force, serving as a captain until June 1993.
Between 2011 and 2017, he worked as MultiChoice’s anti-piracy general manager and was promoted to director of broadcasting piracy and cybersecurity. Jonker is known for his strategic approach to combating digital content piracy, focusing on protecting intellectual property and supporting Africa’s creative industry.
“Despite this, African authorities are doing a heroic job fighting cybercrime and content piracy. There have been huge successes in prosecuting content piracy operations.” “When leading content businesses consider entering the African market, they need the reassurance that their content rights will be protected,” Jonker said.
Jonker said prosecuting content piracy is more than a harsh clampdown that spoils everyone’s fun. It has numerous benefits.
