KEITH BROAD AND WOUTER DE SWARDT'S PERJURY; ONE EXMPLE OF MANY
The Reality
The number of lies told on official and court papers, affidavits, and the like is literally in the hundreds. Here is just one example:
Keith Broad obtained his Protection Order by lying and reversing the roles on the day of the evictions.
On 22 July 2022, WDS turned up at the property with eight criminal thugs-for-hire, employed by him as “security personnel” working for his company, Fox Forensics—a PSIRA-registered company.
There was a group of guests staying at the property that weekend, but that did not deter de Swardt and his Fox Forensics security personnel, who forced their way into the property and demanded the guests leave.
Clearly shocked, frightened, and confused, the guests—who had paid for their stay—refused to vacate. They called the office, and Ollie Sokanyile went to their assistance in an attempt to protect them from WDS and his thugs and to try to get them to leave.
It was very clear from the appearance, attitude, and demeanor of the thugs that they were there to frighten, intimidate, and, if necessary, physically remove anyone who stood in their way. Had the property been occupied by staff, myself, or housekeepers, there was no question the thugs were there to physically remove anyone inside. But the legal implications of physically assaulting guests meant WDS had to resort to more subtle threats and a series of lies he told the guests to force them to leave.
Including telling them that they had been scammed—despite the fact they had booked and paid for a July stay at a five-bedroom detached villa in Llandudno, with a housekeeper, for eight guests, for three nights—and were busy enjoying precisely what they had booked.
Eventually, forced to leave by the local security company, they returned two days later. They again forced their way in. This time, the house was only occupied by the live-in housekeepers, other staff, and Ollie. And this time, the thugs beat up the occupants and physically threw them out. WDS changed the locks and left the thugs to squat, during which time they held multiple parties and trashed the property.
At the point when they started to force their way in, Ollie called the office, who in turn called the attorney, who in turn called a private security firm to head to the property to protect the occupants and the property. Unfortunately, they arrived ten minutes too late—the thugs were already inside, and the occupants were on the street. The security firm remained at the property for the two nights they had been paid in advance for while an urgent spoliation application was prepared. When it became clear that the hearing would not be that day or the next, they were stood down.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
Keith Broad obtained a Protection Order through false claims, reversing the roles of the July. On July 22, Wouter de Swardt arrived with eight hired thugs from his PSIRA-registered company, Fox Forensics, forcibly entering the property and demanding paying guests to leave.
When guests resisted, they returned with force, physically assaulting housekeepers and staff before changing the locks and occupying the property. Hired security arrived too late to prevent the eviction, but legal action was already underway.
The Perjury
However, the account given to the court by Keith Broad was the polar opposite. He told the court he lived in the property, claiming it was his family home that he shared with his wife and children. He alleged that the thugs sent by him and Mr. de Swardt were actually my henchmen, sent to intimidate him. In reality, Mr. Broad had moved out in October 2021—ten months earlier.
As was the intention, I was unaware of the protection order submission or hearing and was not present. Based on the extreme submission, the interim protection order was granted.
Mr. Broad claimed that the professional security company sent to protect the housekeepers were actually my “henchmen” sent to threaten and intimidate him in his own home. As a result, he claimed to fear for his life and safety, as well as the lives and safety of his family.
The submissions to the court to obtain the protection order make for interesting reading and represent one lie after another. A comparison of the affidavits in the application for the protection order and those in the various eviction proceedings clearly shows the lies under oath.
In one affidavit for the Protection Order, Mr. Broad claimed he was present in the property, where he lived with his family. In another, for the Spoliation Application, he stated he was not present and admitted that Mr. de Swardt and the thugs were instructed by him to remove the tenant.
Every application, affidavit, and court bundle submitted by Keith Broad consisted of a series of fabrications, and each was different from the ones before it and the ones that would follow.
These lies were relatively easy to expose each time, and Keith knew the only way to win was to lie—and the only way to get away with those lies was if I was not present or able to expose them. The primary reason for my arrest in August and December, and the bogus immigration charge in March, was so that he could do just that. All three were timed precisely with the three most significant court hearings of the campaign.
PERJURY, ONE EXAMPLE OF MANY
One of Dozens Of Examples of Keith Broad's Perjury & Contempt of Court
Absolute, categorical and irrefutable proof of very significant perjury. A black and white example, one of many, of Keith Broad's tactics, character, methods and lies. Signed, sealed ad submitted to the courts
Every single application Keith Broad submitted was a masterclass in both perjury and deception. He knew no judge would grant an eviction order against a tenant who was up to date with their rent, had conducted themselves perfectly and who had spent a fortune on the property.
It was therefore essential Keith Broad lie to achieve that goal, which then made it essential to remove the opposition and destroy the ability to attend and defend.
The Illegal Takeover of Llandudno
On 22 July 2022, de Swardt arrived at my Llandudno property with eight criminal thugs-for-hire, falsely presenting them as “security personnel” from his company Fox Forensics. In reality, none of them were legally registered security officers, and their real job was to use force, intimidation, and violence to take over the property.
The house was occupied by paying guests who had booked a luxury stay. De Swardt and his thugs forced their way in, demanding the guests leave immediately. They refused. Confused, frightened, and shocked, the guests called my office. Ollie Sokanyile rushed to help them, trying to defuse the situation and protect them from the intimidation tactics de Swardt was using.
When the thugs realized the guests wouldn’t leave voluntarily, they backed off—for the moment. Two days later, on 24 July 2022, de Swardt came back with reinforcements. This time, they weren’t just throwing out guests—they were prepared to take over by force.
There were no guests left in the house by then, just the live-in housekeepers, other staff, and Ollie. De Swardt’s men assaulted them, physically throwing them out onto the street. They then changed the locks, illegally occupied the house, and trashed it, throwing multiple parties over the following days.
I immediately launched urgent spoliation proceedings in the High Court to take back my property, and a hearing was set for 4 August 2022. De Swardt knew he had no legal defense, so he switched tactics. Instead of fighting the case in court, he arranged for my arrest—a move designed to prevent me from attending the hearing and ensuring the property remained in his control.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
On 22 July 2022, Wouter de Swardt arrived at my Llandudno property with eight unregistered thugs, falsely posing as security from Fox Forensics. Paying guests refused to leave, and when intimidation failed, de Swardt returned on 24 July with reinforcements.
Facing High Court eviction on 4 August, de Swardt arranged my arrest to prevent me from attending, ensuring he kept control illegally.
THE LIES TOLD AND THE TRUTH BEHIND THEM. TWISTED, HIDDEN, FALSIFIED OR FABRCIATDD BY THE MEDIA24 ARTICLES
HOVER TO PAUSE / USE ARROWS OR SLIDER TO SCROLL
Weaponizing the Courts Through Perjury
In order to prevent me from reclaiming my own property, they systematically falsified legal documents, committing blatant perjury to manipulate the courts. Every document de Swardt submitted was filled with perjury, lies, and contradictions."
To stop me from reclaiming the property through the High Court, Keith Broad applied for a Protection Order on 29 July 2022, using a fabricated story that completely reversed the roles.
In his affidavit, Broad claimed:
-
He was living in the property with his family.
-
I had sent thugs to attack him and force him out.
-
He feared for his life and needed an urgent court order to stop me from coming near “his home.”
These were blatant lies.
Broad had moved out ten months earlier, and it was de Swardt and his men who had violently evicted my staff and taken over the house. Yet, because I was never informed about the Protection Order application, I had no chance to challenge it.
The judge, having only Broad’s perjured affidavit in front of him, granted an interim order that barred me from coming within 500 meters of my own home.
This wasn’t just an abuse of the system—it was a deliberate attempt to sabotage the High Court ruling on 4 August. Even if I won the spoliation case, I would be unable to set foot on the property due to the fraudulent Protection Order.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
The agreement and explicit understanding was that I would lease the properties, entirely refurbish them at my own expense, then let them out to tourists, and significantly that I would have a legal tenure of 5 years during which time to recoup the very considerable investment of time. money and expertise.
That proposal came not from me but from Keith, Inge and Gail Broad. The continent of the Media24 articles, was the polar opposite of the truth and the facts.
Collusion with SAPS to Manufacture My Arrests
Winning in court didn’t matter when de Swardt had the police in his pocket. The High Court ruled in my favor on 4 August 2022, ordering:
-
De Swardt, Broad, and the thugs to immediately vacate the property
-
A High Court interdict against them coming near it again
-
Punitive costs against Broad
But instead of complying, de Swardt arranged for my immediate arrest.
On 1 August 2022, just days before the hearing, he had SAPS lay completely fabricated charges against me, claiming:
-
I had “broken into” my own home.
-
I had “stolen” three televisions—TVs that had been removed by guests and replaced with better ones.
-
I had caused “malicious damage” to the property I had spent millions renovating.
None of these allegations had a shred of truth, but SAPS in Hout Bay pushed them through without hesitation, arresting me on 4 August—the exact day of my High Court victory.
This pattern repeated itself over and over again, each time coinciding with a crucial legal hearing that would have exposed the conspiracy:
-
August 2022 – Arrested on false theft charges on the same day I won the spoliation case.
-
December 2022 – Arrested on bogus “fraud” charges on the day my lease for another property was set to renew.
-
March 2023 – Arrested on a completely fabricated immigration charge timed to sabotage another court case.
Every single time, de Swardt coordinated the arrests, using his SAPS contacts to ensure I was imprisoned at the most critical moments.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
Winning in court meant nothing when Wouter de Swardt controlled SAPS. After the High Court ruled in my favour on 4 August 2022, de Swardt arranged my arrest the same day on fabricated charges, including:
Breaking into my own home, Stealing TVs that had been replaced by guests, Damaging property I had spent millions renovating.
Controlling the Media Narrative
De Swardt’s power didn’t stop at SAPS—he also had Media24 in his pocket.
After ensuring I was behind bars, de Swardt and Inge Broad fed a series of fabricated stories to Media24, designed to:
-
Paint me as a criminal and create a false public perception.
-
Bury any evidence of the High Court ruling that exonerated me.
-
Destroy my reputation to prevent me from fighting back.
Despite the mountains of evidence disproving every claim, Media24 never once published the real story
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
By fabricating crimes to frame me, placing fabricated articles via ‘friends’ at Media24/News24 , authoring online content including a petition and fake Instagram profiles, creating fake dossiers and then even creating victims in the absence of real ones, they successfully manipulated the narrative, switching the roles, presenting themselves as victims, and me as the villain.

The Fabricated Case List: How Every Legal Action in the December Application Traces Back to the Same People
Keith Broad’s Misrepresentation to the Courts & Recycling of False Evidence
This table reveals how every case cited in Keith Broad’s December application originates from the same small group of individuals, proving that:
✔ Keith Broad falsely presented these cases as separate, independent, and unrelated, despite all originating from the same consortium members—himself and Paula Disberry.
✔ Several cases were listed twice, artificially inflating the number of allegations.
✔ Many cases had already been thrown out by the prosecution, yet were deliberately included to mislead the courts.
✔ Media24 selectively reported only damaging claims, ignoring counter-evidence and case dismissals.
✔ The timing of the application was deliberate, ensuring Darren Russell was incarcerated and unable to challenge the false claims.
✔ The dossier compiled by Wouter de Swardt served as the foundation for these cases, laundering fabricated claims through multiple channels to create the illusion of independent corroboration.
This table exposes the deception behind the legal attacks, proving that the cases were not independently verified—but systematically engineered to remove opposition and seize control of assets.

It is against this background that I engaged the services of Mr Wouter de Swardt ("Mr de Swart") Of Fox Forensics private investigators and security consultants ("fox forensics") to assist me in this matter.
-
I admit that Mr de swart and/or security staff in the employ of fox forensics gained access to the property on 24 July 2022 with the assistance of ppa security.

I was informed by Mr de swart that he attended the property several times during the preceding week and that, on the occasions that he had been to the property , there was nobody present or occupying it.
-
I was further informed by Mr de swart that, apart from a few items of clothing that apparently belonged to Mr sewiya, there was no trace of the applicants' belongings or any evidence that they reside at the property on a permanent basis
-
Mr de Swart has placed private security personnel at the property to safeguard it.
-
This was done because Mr de swart was able to establish that Mr Russell was in the process of concluding a sublease in respect of the property in terms of which the property would be occupied by foreign nationals for an extended period of time &. I was not informed about this by Mr Russell , and I have no insight into what the terms of such sublease would entail ””.
-
Mr Russell has unlawfully retained the property for a period in excess of 6 months since the lease was cancelled fear that if the sublease is concluded, I will continue to be excluded from me
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
Contradicting himself, Broad admitted in court documents that Wouter de Swardt and Fox Forensics forcibly took over the property. He also falsely claimed I illegally retained the property for six months and was subleasing it—despite no evidence.
These lies were used to manipulate the court, securing legal protection while covering up the illegal eviction and takeover
The 500-meter Exclusion Zone On My Own Home
The PO had a very specific purpose. It was designed to be an illegal eviction in disguise and to effectively neuter and render ineffectual my expected win in the spoliation proceedings.
If the above facts and the information contained within the documents don’t give you a sense of the man, consider this: when he obtained the protection order by perjury, he insisted the judge add a clause—one that excluded me and my staff from going within 500 meters of the property.
Having lied to the judge and claimed it was his home, and that he was the one who was attacked, the judge granted that exclusion zone. The purpose was to counter the outcome of the spoliation proceedings scheduled for 4 August—meaning that even if I won, the victory would be hollow due to the exclusion zone.
As it happens, I did win on 4 August. And in addition to the judge ordering him, Mr. de Swardt, and the thugs to immediately vacate the property, she also issued an interdict against Keith and his associates, barring them from going anywhere near the property, as well as imposing punitive costs.
The conditions Keith Broad sought the court to apply:
-
coming within 500 metres of myself, my family or my staff.
-
settling foot on or within 500 metres of my home at 16 Leirmans road Llandudno.
-
coming within 500 metres of my place of work or businesses.
What Mr. Broad’s stunt to sabotage the outcome of the spoliation proceedings actually did was create a no man’s land—a property that was mine in law as the sole legal occupant, where he was the landlord who, after so many violent illegal evictions, was bound by a High Court interdict from going near the property. And now, as a result of his stunt, I was unable to go near it either.
With Hout Bay SAPS acting as his personal army, had I done so, I would have been arrested. The fact that the order was obtained through perjury would have done me no good when faced with a Hout Bay SAPS officer. And had I been arrested, that would have been a breach of my bail terms, and I would have gone back to Pollsmoor.
Having made the property a no-go area for me, Mr. Broad then went on, in his next submission to the court, to allege that I had rental arrears from August onwards—i.e., the month he had me illegally arrested and imprisoned, and the months thereafter, during which, by virtue of his illegal tactics, I was not allowed within 500 meters of the property. But of course, that key fact didn’t find its way into the submission that claimed there were rent arrears.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
Keith Broad’s protection order was a strategic eviction, barring me from my own property under false claims. The 500-meter exclusion zone was meant to undermine my expected legal victory in the spoliation case.
Although I won on August 4, his stunt turned the property into a no-man’s land, neither he nor I could enter. With Hout Bay SAPS acting as his enforcers, any attempt to return risked arrest and violating my bail terms, ensuring I would be sent back to Pollsmoor.
Role Of Wouter de Swardt
Wouter de Swardt was not just involved—he was the driving force behind the entire criminal campaign to illegally seize my properties, fabricate charges against me, and manipulate the justice system to keep me imprisoned long enough for his clients to take full control.
His clients were Keith and Inge Broad, the same Inge Broad whose fabrications ended up in Media24’s false and defamatory articles. But they weren’t acting alone. They took their instructions from Paul Disberry, Peter van Wyk, Inge Broad, and Keith Broad, who in turn directed Johan Schalkwyk, Denis Dalton, Mari Boffa, and Andre Durand to execute their orders
Had they believed they had any legitimate claim over the properties, they could have gone through the civil courts, where disputes like this are resolved in a matter of months. But they knew they had no case, no legitimate reason to take my properties, no legal way to claim the revenue I was generating. That’s why they turned to Wouter de Swardt—to do their dirty work.
There is no legitimate reason for a landlord to hire a private investigator with a criminal history, a gang of thugs, and deep connections inside SAPS, unless their intentions are entirely illegal. And yet, this was another glaring point that Media24 conveniently ignored when pushing their false narratives.

How de Swardt Stole My Properties
From the moment he was hired, de Swardt’s job was simple: Get me out of the properties at any cost. He was paid to orchestrate the illegal evictions, frame me for crimes I didn’t commit, and use his influence over SAPS to ensure I was arrested whenever I got close to exposing the truth.

Perjury: Fabrication And Systematic Fraud
The direct contradictions between Keith Broad’s affidavit for the protection order and his affidavit in the spoliation proceedings expose a blatant and deliberate act of perjury. These are not minor inconsistencies—these are irreconcilable statements that prove he lied under oath to achieve his objectives, which were themselves criminal.
Contradictions That Prove Perjury:
Protection Order Affidavit:
-
Keith Broad claims that he lived in the property with his wife and children, that it was his family home, and that he was the victim of a violent attack.
-
He claims that I was the aggressor, that I sent people to threaten him, and that he feared for his safety.
Spoliation Proceedings Affidavit:
-
Keith Broad admits that he was not living at the property.
-
He acknowledges that he engaged Wouter de Swardt and his “security personnel” to forcibly gain entry and remove the tenant (me).
-
He directly states that he was not present when the incident took place.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
Keith Broad’s contradictory affidavits in the protection order and spoliation proceedings demonstrate clear perjury. These are not minor inconsistencies but blatant lies aimed at achieving his criminal objectives.
On the Protection Order Affidavit Broad claims to live at the property with his family and that I was the aggressor, yet on the Spoliation Proceedings Affidavit Broad admits he wasn’t living at the property, acknowledges engaging Wouter de Swardt and his security personnel to forcibly remove me.
The Lies Were Not Just Contradictory—They Were Deliberate and Criminal
These two sworn statements cannot both be true. Either:
-
He lived in the house with his family, was present during the incident, and was the victim of an attack.
-
OR
-
He did not live there, was not present, and was the one who instructed a violent gang to carry out an illegal eviction.
The truth is obvious: he committed perjury to achieve whatever goal was necessary at the time.
-
In the Protection Order, the goal was to create an emergency narrative that would result in the courts issuing an exclusion zone preventing me from accessing my own property.
-
In the Spoliation Proceedings, he needed to explain why Wouter de Swardt had illegally entered the property and thrown me out, so he admitted hiring him, but now had to pretend that he wasn’t involved.
This is a textbook case of fraudulent legal manipulation. He tailored his sworn testimony to whatever version of events best served his interests, with no regard for the truth, the law, or the consequences of perjury.

The Irony of His Protection Order Claims
Even more astonishing is the fact that his allegations in the Protection Order are almost a word-for-word description of their own conduct.
-
He claimed I sent thugs to forcibly enter a home and evict someone.
-
In reality, he hired Wouter de Swardt, who did exactly that to me.
-
He claimed that I fabricated evidence.
-
In reality, he and his associates perjured themselves in multiple legal proceedings.
-
He claimed that I was using underhanded tactics to gain control of properties.
-
In reality, he and the Consortium were engaged in a year-long campaign of illegal evictions, fraudulent legal maneuvers, and corrupt manipulation of SAPS and the courts to steal high-value properties and their revenue streams.

The Verdict: Open and Shut Perjury, Criminal Conspiracy, and Media Complicity
-
The two affidavits cannot both be true—one of them is a blatant lie.
-
Lying under oath is perjury, a serious criminal offense.
-
The perjury was not incidental—it was central to an illegal conspiracy to seize properties.
-
Media24 deliberately ignored the truth and instead amplified the lies to frame me.
Had these lies been exposed in court at the time, the Protection Order would have been immediately dismissed, the spoliation proceedings would have resulted in criminal sanctions against Broad and de Swardt, and the entire conspiracy would have been stopped in its tracks.
Instead, they got away with it, because they were protected by corrupt police officers, a compromised legal system, and a media that was willing to spread their lies instead of reporting the truth.

The years Of my Life They Stole From Me
All of 2021, I worked 18-hour days, every single day of the year, pouring everything I had—time, effort, skill, and every cent of my life savings—into creating, building, designing, and physically working on my collection of properties. Everything I had built up over the many years prior went into that.
Then came 2022, and my life was consumed by their campaign to destroy me. From that year well into 2023, I was no longer a property owner, a business operator, or an entrepreneur—I was their target. Hounded like an animal, publicly vilified, smeared in the media, and incarcerated for almost a third of that year on fraudulent, manufactured charges designed to keep me out of the way while they took everything.
From 2023 to today, my life has been spent doing what the legal system, SAPS, and the media refused to do—collating the evidence, exposing the lies, and fighting for justice.
The reality is that justice in South Africa is slow. 2025 to 2027 is the most likely timeframe for accountability to be achieved. Even when it is, how much will be restored to me? How much of what I built, what I earned, what I fought for will I ever get back? The truth is, that part is highly unlikely.
I came to Cape Town worth R30 million. I created a collection of properties that would have generated me R150 million.
And as of today, after everything they did, I have been left with nothing.
Nothing but a few boxes of personal possessions—clothes, and whatever scraps of my life I could salvage from the wreckage they left behind.
These crimes cannot be erased. The lies cannot be undone. But what can and must happen is full accountability.
This case is not just about me, it is about whether the justice system will allow proven perjury, fraud, and illegal seizures to go unpunished. It is about whether SAPS and the courts will continue to be tools for corruption or forces for justice.
Those responsible must be held accountable. Anything less would be complicity in their crimes.
LANDMARK JUDGEMENT
High Court Judgment Confirms Illegal Eviction and Criminal Misconduct
Judge van Zyl’s Landmark Ruling Exposes Lies, Orders Restitution, and Condemns the Criminal Conduct of Keith Broad, Wouter de Swardt, SAPS
This judgment—delivered by High Court Judge van Zyl in August 2022—is a definitive legal ruling confirming the illegality of the evictions orchestrated by Keith Broad and Wouter de Swardt on 22 and 24 July.
The application for spoliation relief was submitted on 27 July.
To prevent the matter from being heard, Broad and de Swardt attempted to have me jailed on fabricated charges of theft, culminating in a strategic arrest on 4 August, much later than they had hoped —minutes before the hearing began
Despite this criminal interference, and because the arrest had not come sooner, the hearing went ahead. The judge ruled in my favour on every count:
1) Confirmed I was in lawful possession of the property.
2) Ordered the eviction of Keith Broad, Wouter de Swardt, and the eight thugs they installed.
3) Issued an interdict against any future interference.
4) Very unusually also awarding punitive costs against Broad, demonstrating the courts grave view of his conduct, denouncing his dishonesty.
In a further act of abuse, Keith Broads perjured protection order application submitted in my absence while in unlawful detention, had the effect of nurturing the the High Court judgment with yet more deceit, obtaining a 500 meter exclusion zone around the property by falsely claiming it was his family home and the thugs who forced their way in were mine sent to intimidate him in his family home.
