I have been appointed Research Fellow with the Security Institute for Governance and Leadership in Africa (SIGLA) by Stellenbosch University. The purpose of this research fellowship is “to improve strategic ties between institutions, but more importantly between researchers in their respective fields”. I will be closely working with colleagues at SIGLA and the Military Academy to expanded and deepen our network, design and submit research projects and share my expertise on transnational security governance and the role of private military and security companies in the enforcement of global law and order.
