THEFT OF MY PASSPORT
Theft and Illegal Retention of My Passport
At no point has the state had any right to hold my passport. It was not a condition of either the first or second bail.
Despite this, the state (SAPS) held it secretly at first, leaving me to think I had lost it. I only discovered they had it when the IO was cross-examined by the advocate in August. Multiple requests were made between the two arrests to extend my visa, but these were ignored to prevent me from extending it, knowing another arrest would be executed as it suited the landlords (Mr. de Swardt’s clients).
After that, Sergeant Stevens ignored multiple requests from myself and my attorneys to return it.
During 2022 and 2023, my passport was held by others more than myself. The original passport from early 2022 until late 2023 (one and a half years!). Its replacement from October 2022 to the present day (almost two years), as it has still not been returned.
When I eventually got back the first passport after a year and a half, I was outside of the automatic extensions and moratoriums, significantly prejudicing my position regarding the extensions alone.
Stealing a passport is a crime. They did it twice. Withholding it from its owner is also a crime. They did it twice. This was before considering the reasons they held onto the passport, also a crime, and its use in obstructing, frustrating, and defeating the course of justice on at least a dozen occasions. Crimes in the countries from which the documentation originates and in the country in which the crimes were committed.
For example, stealing a British passport is both a crime in the UK regardless of where it happens and also a crime in the country it takes place, in this case, South Africa.
As the visa stamp inside the passport makes it a South African official travel document (something the attorneys established during the first bail application, which the magistrate accepted), it is also a crime to steal that. And a further crime to illegally withhold it.
So, Sergeant Stevens, Sergeant Duna, Belville Commercial Crime, Hout Bay, Paula, Peter, Johan, Denis, Mario, Andre, Mercy, and anyone else involved in either of the thefts or the illegal withholding have broken a whole series of laws.
Both passports were stolen because they knew as a foreign national it would cause me significant problems, make me vulnerable in multiple ways, and allow them to exploit the situation.
Because they stole my passport, they would have seen the stamp from the Home Affairs department granting my visa extension into 2022. They knew about the automatic extensions and moratoriums. They certainly knew my passport had been handed to Sergeant Duna, and not myself, making extending my visa impossible.
But that did not stop all of them from alleging I had not extended my visa intentionally, and for some inferred nefarious reason. The often-used phrase that I was in the country illegally.
My visa status is referenced in every news article, in Paula’s fake/copy Instagram profiles of the villas, and in every submission in the civil and criminal courts, including using the issue to sabotage both bail applications and astonishingly to lay a baseless charge of breaching the immigration act.
And all the while keeping quiet about their crucial role in the whole thing and talking as if they have learned this news like everyone else. With Keith using phrases in the court submissions like “it has come to my attention,” “I am led to believe,” and “I have recently learned.”
Cleverly, deceitfully, and selectively telling half a story. Referencing the lack of a visa extension but completely failing to explain the reasons. In the application filed in conjunction with my arrest, they had the audacity to reference rent arrears for August, September, and October, while failing to mention the landlord put me in prison, where I spent August, tried to keep me there, and got a 500-metre exclusion around the property.
The most sinister of these deceits was their plan to create victims in the absence of them, hoping they could be misrepresented as fraud, especially when I was incarcerated and unable to defend myself or point out the truth.
I have no idea whether Paula admits knowledge of the plan or not. I doubt she would. But as she was kept informed of every move Keith, Mr. de Swardt, and Denis made, it is impossible she was not.
Their entire campaign is full of these immoral and illegal tactics and manoeuvres, consistently painting me as the villain and them as the victims.
FACT FILE
THE CONSORTIUM
SAPS had no legal right to hold my passport, yet they secretly withheld it, blocking my visa extensions and aiding my wrongful incarceration. I only discovered this during cross-examination, revealing they had illegally kept it for over a year and a half. Despite repeated attorney requests, Sergeant Stevens refused to return it.
The stolen passports contained clear evidence of my visa extensions, proving SAPS knowingly misrepresented my status. This fabricated “illegal stay” was used to deny bail, smear my reputation, and justify my arrests—all while those responsible pretended they had only just “learned” of my visa situation.
Serg Stevens Retention of My Passport to Prosecute Maliciously
During 2022 and 2023 my passport was held by others more than myself.
The original passport from early 2022 until late 2023 (one and a half years!). Its replacement from October 2022 to the present day (fast approaching two years!), as Paula has still not returned it.
When I eventually got back the first passport AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, I was outside of the automatic extensions and the majority of the moratoriums. Thereby significantly prejudicing my position, purely in relation to the extensions alone.
Stealing a passport is a crime. Withholding it from its owner is also a crime.
They did it twice.
Just as holding onto a passport is a crime.
And that is before you factor in the reasons they held onto the passport, also a crime.
And then factor in its use in obstructing, frustrating and defeating the course of justice. Of which at least a dozen different occasions.
Crimes in the countries from which the documentation originates and in the country in which the crimes were committed.
For example, stealing a British passport is both a crime in the UK regardless of where it happens and also a crime in the country it takes place, in this case South Africa.
As the visa stamp inside the passport makes the passport a south African official travel document, (something the attorneys establish during the first bail application when they made the point, one which the magistrate accepted, was that the visa within a foreign passport is a south African official travel document and afforded all the protection a south African passport would be) it is also a crime to steal that. And a further crime to illegally withhold it.
So, Sergeant Stevens. Sergeant Duna, BC, HB, Paula, Peter, Johan, Denis, Mario, Andre, Mercy and anyone else involved in either of the thefts or the illegal withholding have broken a whole series of laws.
Both passports were stolen because they knew as a foreign national it would cause me extremely significant problems, make me vulnerable in multiple ways, and allow them to exploit the situation.
The hypocrisy is similar to the rent arrears allegation. Trying to financially ruin me and remove the very source form which rent is paid, then publicly vilifying me for rent arrears as if arrears (had they existed) were intentional. Keeping quiet the fact they were the ones trying to cause both issues.
The similar hypocrisy of:
-
inducing a tenant into a lease with the promise of a very secure and long tenure++ in exchange for the tenant carrying out considerable improvements to the property.
-
then labelling those very improvements as “damage” to enable the landlord to deny the tenant that long tenure and bring the tenancy to a very premature end.
(the long tenure being the sole way the tenant would recoup the outlay, allowed to stay for the period of the improvements and then denied the period over which to realise repayment and a return).
All while claiming not to have known about or given consent to the very business model they signed up to.
So, too the visa and immigration issue. Disberry and Van Wyk stealing and keeping my passport, knowing the damage it would do. WDS, Keith Inge, everyone involved (except me) knew Paula had stolen and kept my passport and handed it to WDS.
IMMIGRATION STATUS SABOTAGE
LEFT: A WhatsApp message sent by P Disberry and her partner Peter Van Wyk. Denis Dalton and Johan Schalkwyk had told them the replacement passport had arrived and Mr de Swardt had instructed them to steal it. Which they did by getting Andre Du Rand (personal security) to do so. This was the message sent afterwards
I was told that this too was passed to Sergeant Stevens. But I have no evidence of that. But he did hold the original which was in SAPS possession for well over a year. Regardless, as he was aware of every facet of the operation against me, I am confident he will have been told of the theft and retention of the replacement passport
Precisely because they stole my passport, they will have seen the stamp from the Home Affairs dept granting my visa extension into 2022. And I’m quirt sure they well knew about the automatic extensions and moratoriums. They certainly knew my passport had been handed to Serg Duna, and not myself, they knew therefore that extending my visa was an impossibility.
But that did not stop ALL of them feeding the narrative and alleging I had not extended my visa intentionally, and for some inferred nefarious reason. The often-used phrase that I was in the country illegally.
My visa status is referenced in every news article, in Paulas fake/copy Instagram profiles of the villas, and in every submission in the civil courts. Importantly, also in every submission in the criminal courts. Including using the issue to sabotage both bail applications and astonishingly to lay a baseless charge of breaching the immigration act.
And all the while keeping quiet about their crucial role in the whole thing and talking as if they have learned this news like everyone else. With Keith using phrases in the court submissions of “it has come to my attention”, “I am led to believe”. “I have recently learned.”
Cleverly, deceitfully and selectively telling half a story. Referencing the lack of a visa extension but completely failing to explain the reasons. In the application filed in conjunction with my arrest, the audacity of referencing rent arrears for august, September, October, while failing to mention the landlord put me in prison, where I spent the august, tried to keep me there and got a 500-metre exclusion around the property.
The most sinister of these deceits, being their plan to create victims on the absence of them, in the hope they could be misrepresented as fraud, in particular when I was incarcerated and unable to defend myself or point out the truth.
I have no idea whether Paula admits knowledge of the plan or not. I doubt she would. But as she was kept informed of every move Keith, WDS, Denis made, it is impossible she was not.
Their entire campaign is full of these immoral and illegal tactics and manoeuvres. Consistently painting me as the villain and them as the victims.
Returning to the passport, the basic information is listed below.

MANIPULATING THE VISA NARRATIVE
SAPS and their associates deliberately withheld my passport, knowing it contained proof of my visa extension and that I was covered under automatic extensions. Despite this, they falsely claimed I had intentionally failed to renew my visa, using it to justify my arrests, sabotage bail applications, and file baseless immigration charges.
Meanwhile, they publicly pretended to have "just learned" of my visa status, carefully omitting their role in creating the issue. They even referenced rent arrears while ignoring the fact that they had imprisoned me and secured a 500-meter exclusion from my own property. Their calculated deception extended further—manufacturing "victims" in my absence to misrepresent the situation as fraud.
THE PASSPORT'S 'JOURNEY'
DECEMBER 2020
I arrived in Cape Town and was granted a three-month visitor’s visa.
JANUARY TO MARCH 2021
The Department of Home Affairs issued automatic extensions for all visitors arriving during this period.
APRIL TO JUNE 2021
Home Affairs continued its policy of automatic visa extensions, applying to all arrivals from earlier months.
JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021
The automatic extension policy remained in place, ensuring continued legal status.
OCTOBER TO DECEMBER 2021
Visitor visas were further extended automatically, following the same Home Affairs policy.
NOVEMBER 2021
The visa agency warned that automatic extensions might soon end, so I applied for an extension. My application was approved, and my passport was stamped before I collected it.
JANUARY TO MARCH 2022
Home Affairs announced a moratorium on visa extensions due to a severe backlog, which continued through 2024.
JANUARY 2022 – FIRST THEFT
Gail and her associate Kathi took my passport along with R15,000, the fee meant for an extension and permanent visa application, then disappeared to Germany. I only realized the theft when the visa agency contacted me, asking when they would receive my passport and payment.
FEBRUARY 2022
After weeks of uncertainty, I finally got my passport back.
FEBRUARY TO MARCH 2022 – SECOND THEFT
Paula Disberry tracked my car via GPS and stole my passport from the glovebox. She deliberately did not tell me, so when I later searched for it, I wrongly assumed I had misplaced it at one of the many properties where I was working and moving between due to occpancy changes and maintenance.
MAY 2022
After exhausting all search efforts, I gave up trying to find the stolen passport and ordered a replacement.
JUNE 2022
Paula handed my original passport to Wouter de Swardt—the exact date is uncertain.
JULY 2022
Wouter de Swardt transferred my passport to Sergeant Duna.
4 AUGUST 2022
Sergeant Duna told my attorneys that under normal circumstances, someone charged with theft of televisions would be allowed to leave Hout Bay on bail. However, he falsely claimed that due to my lack of a passport and visa extension, I had to be detained.
He also insisted that Home Affairs was searching for me and had demanded that he deny bail—a fabrication. What we didn’t know at the time was that he had my passport in his pocket. This only became apparent much later, during the bail application.
9 AUGUST 2022 – BAIL DENIAL SETUP
Wouter de Swardt and Sergeant Duna convinced the prosecution to object to bail, citing that I was a flight risk.
They failed to disclose that they were holding my passport, a fact that would have undermined their argument completely. As a result, the prosecution agreed to deny bail, and I was sent to Pollsmoor prison.
9 TO 21 AUGUST 2022 – BAIL TRIAL BECOMES A FULL TRIAL
Rather than proceeding as a bail hearing, the case escalated into a full trial over four days. During cross-examination, my advocate forced Sergeant Duna to admit that SAPS had been holding my passport the entire time.
AUGUST 2022 – FALSE EVIDENCE SETUP
Wouter de Swardt and Sergeant Stevens secured a false affidavit from a Home Affairs official, which completely ignored my actual visa extension and the Home Affairs automatic extensions throughout 2021. The affidavit falsely claimed that I had been illegal since 23 March 2021, which was impossible based on the documented visa extensions.
AUGUST 2022 – BAIL GRANTED
After extensive arguments, bail was granted with no conditions, including no requirement for SAPS to hold my passport. However, despite this ruling, when I and my attorneys requested its return, they refused illegally.
SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER 2022 – CONTINUED ILLEGAL RETENTION
Repeated requests for the passport’s return were rejected. In October, my replacement passport arrived, and I scheduled a visa extension appointment at VFS.
OCTOBER 2022 – THIRD THEFT
Paula ordered Wouter de Swardt, Johan, and Denis to steal my new passport before I could use it.
Mario assisted in preparing the submission documents, but key documents were mysteriously missing during the submission process. As we returned home, Andre insisted he should hold onto my passport, framing it as a favor since he claimed I was disorganized and forgetful.
Shortly after, Andre stole my passport and passed it to Denis and Johan, who then gave it either to Wouter de Swardt or directly back to Paula.
OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER 2022
At some point, Sergeant Duna handed my original passport to Sergeant Stevens. Despite multiple requests, SAPS continued to refuse returning my passport.
14 DECEMBER 2022 – ARREST
A repeat of the August strategy—I was portrayed as a flight risk despite SAPS holding both passports.
DECEMBER TO MARCH 2023
False Home Affairs affidavits were submitted to delay my bail application once again, ignoring the documented visa extensions.
14 MARCH 2023 – CHARGES WITHDRAWN
On the morning of the bail hearing, the prosecution withdrew all charges.
Wouter de Swardt and Sergeant Stevens, determined to continue obstructing, pushed for an immigration charge to remain, even though no such charge had ever existed.
Sergeant Stevens tried to use the lack of a passport to demand R100,000 bail, but the magistrate rejected this entirely. Bail was granted at R10,000, with the only condition being residence at a set address.
MARCH TO AUGUST 2023 – CONTINUED ILLEGAL PASSPORT RETENTION
Despite the final charge being withdrawn, SAPS refused to return my passport, illegally rejecting multiple formal requests.
A Senior State Prosecutor conducted a two-month investigation, ultimately confirming the withdrawal of the immigration charge in August 2023.
SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER 2023 – FORCED "LOAN" OF PASSPORT
Sergeant Stevens still refused to return my passport, instead offering only a temporary loan when I had a VFS appointment. This was likely to sabotage the visa application.
JUNE 2024 – STILL TRAPPED
At this point, my only remaining course of action is to submit a Letter of Good Cause to the Director of Home Affairs in order to normalize my visa status.
It has now been almost ten months since the final charge was withdrawn, yet I remain trapped due to their ongoing obstruction.
FACT FILE
THE TIMELINE
This timeline clearly illustrates a systematic effort to obstruct my legal status, using fabricated charges and illegal withholding of my passport to create a false immigration violation. Despite multiple court rulings in my favor, SAPS, private individuals, and corrupt officials continuously interfered, ensuring I remained unable to extend my visa, apply for residency, or leave South Africa without consequence. Even after all charges were withdrawn, the damage to my legal standing persists, leaving me trapped by their calculated abuse of power.
The stamp in my passport showed my extension to 2022
Anyone who had had possession of or seen my passport would also have seen the stamp from the Home Affairs Dept confirming my extension in 2022.
So, those like Keith, Paula, WDS that consistently claimed I had never extended and also claimed I had been avoiding extending did not do so under some false assumption but knowing it was a lie.
The Other Stamps in My Passport
During their ownership of my passports, they had direct access to my travel history. You will note it included a couple of European countries, (from memory Paris - France, Ibiza, Mykonos), and that was it. Not one country known to have lax banking laws, no countries known for their tax-free havens or secret accounts. Nothing in fact other than Ibiza and Mykonos. Known only for their beaches, boys, boobs and bikinis,
Accounts such as those I am accused of having, require the account holder to open the account in person. I am sure there are exceptions, but any accounts where the account hold demands secrecy will do. Otherwise, they will find themselves vulnerable to all sorts of money laundering legislation breaches regardless
My travel habits are neither those of a rich man or a man hiding money. Nor are they the travel plans of someone on the run or fleeing. The regular European trips, e.g. to Pris with Loris, Mykonos, Ibiza, also Loris, all require going through customs when leaving the UK and entering customs whichever country you are entering, and on leaving that country and entering the UK.
Where I wanted, I would have been stopped at every one of those points.
Just as I would have been stopped when leaving (“fleeing”) the UK in 2020.
Both my passport and its replacement passports are biometric. I paid more for so that I could have that facility on them. so, unless my eyeball is also fake, every time I go through customers my eyeball is canned, cross referenced to however main frame computers these things are linked to, before the green light come son and you walk through.
In addition, were I wanted by Interpol, the UK police etc, does anyone really think that when I submitted my replacement application, I would have opted for the more expensive direct door to door courier option, thereby providing my home address? A) the UK Passport Officer would not have sent a new passport for a criminal on the run and B) if they ever did, it would have been hand delivered by the police or Interpol to arrest me.
If I was fleeing the UK, it must have been the slowest flee in herstory. Starting mid 2020 with the trip itself at the end of December 2020
It all very well and its certainly very easy to simply make up stuff. “Darren fled the UK” … “Darren has a fake passport” “Darrens artwork collection is stolen or the proceeds of crime” It requires zero evidence to make these kinds of statement, and the vast majority of the people who make the allegations are not required to prove them the vast majority of the time.
It is surprisingly difficult to prove you didn’t do something, i.e. I didn’t flee. Other than pointing to the obvious, where the application of common sense provides the answer. Unfortunately, by then no one is listening anyway.
They will have read or heard the allegation, it will have been noted and saved to the memory banks. Highly unlikely the first thought would be to question the validity of the allegation. And the unique power of the scammer narrative is that anything the scammer says to refute the allegations is dismissed and the words of a scammer
A publication like News24 is supposed to stand for the truth. Repeating allegations that are fabrications is not journalism. And allowing a situation where the consortium get to constantly tailor the allegations to fit the known evidence or lack of, is appalling journalism. They are all on record in regard to the many allegations made.
The onus is on the journalist to establish the facts, and to be led by the facts, no matter how many people there are on the consortiums side and how few on mine.
There is a reason we called them the consortium. The landlords, their staff their proxies, their specific SAPS, were always going to sign from the same hymn sheet. If there were fifty landlords, the allegations would still be fabrications. What better indication of conspiracy, collusion and a consortium than a large number of people, all saying the same thing, that all evidence points to being false.
FACT FILE
THE CONSORTIUM
-
My travel history, visible in my stolen passport, shows only standard European trips—none to tax havens or secret banking jurisdictions.
-
If I were fleeing or wanted by authorities, biometric passport scans at customs would have flagged me at every border.
-
False claims of absconding were spread without evidence, while media outlets like News24 failed to verify facts, amplifying the consortium’s fabrications.
Excerpt from the summary
In July 2022, the PI and 8 criminal thugs for hire forced their way into one of the villas, beat up and ejected the housekeeping staff, and illegally seized the property, prompting us to file urgent spoliation proceedings in the High Court to recover the property, as well as an interdict and punitive costs.
In response, the PI and landlord filed a false charge of "breaking and entering" (into my own home) and theft of three televisions. As this did not deter me, they arrested me on those fabricated charges and, with the help of a corrupt officer they had hired for the purpose, objected to bail on two grounds. 1) they changed the allegation just moments before to one of theft of the contents of a backroom that were in essence junk and were in fact in safe storage which the owners knew and had access to, to one of highly valuable items that were suddenly worth a million rand (for the purpose of putting the offence into a schedule 5 on a par with rape and murder) and even more importantly, 2a) claiming absurdly I was a flight risk, 2b) that I had intentionally evaded and avoided extending my visa since March 2021, 2c) that the Home Affairs dept considered me illegal as of 31 March 2021
Never mentioning or revealing that the same officer had my passport in his pocket and had illegally and secretly held it for months, after one of the owners had stolen it and given it to the PI, who in turn gave it to the officer, in order to make an extension possible. Something that only became apparent during the advocate's cross examination of the IO.
I had already ordered a replacement passport several months earlier, but due to Brexit, the UK passport office had its own backlog. When that arrived, they arranged for it to be stolen as well, and even brazenly sent WhatsApp messages to them, telling me to contact them if I needed to see my passport again.
I won the bail application, and the magistrate ordered an investigation into the entire matter. A few weeks later, the case was dismissed. But the corrupt officer still had my passport and refused my and my attorney's requests to return it. At the time, I informed the attorneys that as the first attempt to remove me was only partially successful, they would try again. As expected, they did just that. In mid-December, I was illegally arrested again, with the PI leading the police again, and at the same time, the PI, aided by selected SAPS officers, carried out an entirely secret, unofficial, and illegal raid at my other property in Llandudno, arresting and removing the staff and occupants, taking the keys, and taking possession of the property, before letting those arrested go free and handing over possession to the PIs client; the very same landlord who had instructed the July 2022 property invasion, the assaults, that laid the false charges, and then tampered with the bail application
Doing the same with me and others at my primary residence, where they arrested me, with the PI again leading the police, and where another of the PI's clients, walked in 5 minutes after I was taken away, to be handed the keys and vacant possession by the PI.
Two simultaneous illegal evictions disguised as arrests; bypassing the need for court proceedings, due process, court orders, legal costs, or any other form of official sanction, allowing eviction on demand and implying that the landlord had no involvement in the process and thus no liability.
When appearing for bail It was granted for R2,000 with no conditions, and the PI and IO then persuaded the prosecution to object based on a series of lies, including the fact that more charges were being filed, other issues, and, most importantly, the same visa and immigration issues raised and subsequently dismissed in the previous bail application. Since then, the IO has illegally withheld my passport, specifically to deny me the ability to extend my visa, for which he is now standing in front of a court, requesting that they deny my bail application and then prosecute me.
Something he continued to use at each appearance to delay the start of my bail application, which he was able to do for three months, allowing me to rot in Pollsmoor prison while their clients, the landlords, consolidated their gains. When the magistrate finally had enough of the delays and ordered the start of the urgent bail application, on first sight the prosecution immediately withdrew all charges. To keep me in Pollsmoor even longer, the IO insisted on prosecuting the immigration charge and tried having my bail application denied on that basis. The charge was that I "failed to leave RSA on 23 March 2021," stating that I had never extended my visa since landing in 2020, despite the IO knowing that the automatic extensions covered me for the entire year of 2021, that I had extended at the end of 2021 ((the stamp weas in my passport e illegally held and in the Hime Affairs documents that accompanied two highly suspicious affidavits), which took me into 2022, and that in 2022 my passport was stolen, handed to him, and he had kept it secretly and illegally, before the august arrest, after the august bail, after the withdrawal of the charges, and continuously up to that point.
Regardless, I was granted bail, and the magistrate ordered an investigation, but nothing has been done. In June 2023, we petitioned the senior state prosecutor by submitting Representations to withdraw the charge. The 50-pages of document repeated many of the allegations listed above and others, and as a result of which the SSP investigated for two months before confirming the charge's withdrawal.
Despite all of this, the IO refused to return my passport, instead telling me that I could borrow it for a few days to apply. The purpose of which was not just to frustrate me in multiple ways, but so that he knew when the application was being submitted, so he and the PI could use contacts with the Home Afraid Department and or VFS to ensure any application was rejected.
NB: At this point, they were still illegally holding my devices, equipment, data, and documents that they had seized in December and were supposed to hand back in March when the charges were withdrawn, but they refused. a) to use for an illegal fishing expedition, b) to ensure I had little evidence of their campaign, and c) to scrutinise and sabotage my attempts to normalise my immigration status, which included hacking and diverting emails. So, I have never received confirmation from VFS regarding the result, but I can guarantee it will be a decline regardless.
