PART 3: ATTEMPTS TO GET JUSTICE
PRESS COMPLAINT: DERLICTION OF DUTY, THE PRESS COUNCIL'S FAILURE TO ACT
From the moment I was released on bail on March 14, 2023, I began the painstaking process of investigating, documenting, and gathering evidence—not only to clear my name but to expose those responsible for orchestrating this campaign against me.
At first, it seemed impossible. The consortium had ensured that every device—laptops, phones, hard drives—every document, and every piece of data had been seized. They had left me without a home, money, or any means of survival. Worse still, they had ensured that I remained trapped in South Africa, sabotaging my immigration status and stealing my passport, making it impossible for me to work legally or leave the country.
The defamatory Media24 articles remained online, poisoning every potential opportunity. It did not matter where I applied—the moment my name was searched, the lies dictated my future.
Still, I pushed forward. I began recovering data, piecing together evidence, and documenting every crime they committed. My first goal: address the Media24 articles, which were central to this campaign.
COMMUNICATIONS RECORD
Table Of Communications With The Press Council Highlighting Their Abject Failures
The One Sided Communication And The Press Council's Deflection & Excuses
The signed lease agreements establish my valid five-year tenancy, the single non-negotiable condition needed to recover my multimillion-rand investment. Despite this, Keith Broad & Inge Broad violated the agreement immediately after renovations were complete, seizing back the property for their own financial gain.
Page 8, Clause 15 of the lease was deliberately crossed out and initialled by both parties, proving full consent to the subletting model. This directly contradicts Keith & Inge Broad’s later fabricated claims that they neither knew of nor approved short-term rentals.
My Approach to Media24: Hope vs. Reality
When SAPS (South African Police Service) dropped the last of the charges against me, I believed I finally had the opportunity to clear my name. I spent weeks crafting a detailed, indisputable case, meticulously compiling every shred of evidence that disproved their false reporting.
I held on to one hope—that Media24 had been misled rather than complicit. That when presented with the truth, they would be horrified to learn how they had been used as a weapon in a criminal conspiracy. That they would take immediate action to correct their mistakes.
Their response was devastating. They did not deny the facts. They simply did not care. The articles remained online. Not a single correction was issued. Not a single journalist was held accountable. Every door remained shut in my face. I had no money, no resources, no connections, and no support network. I had one thing only—the truth. But the truth, it seemed, did not matter.
Media24’s False and Fabricated Articles vs the Facts and the Truth
MEDIA24
FALSE:
"It is estimated that the British national made up to R34 million while committing this fraud, according to News24.”
TRUE:
This figure is pure fiction. "It is estimated" It is estimated by whom?? No official body, financial institution, police docket, or court ever cited such an amount. It originated solely from WdS and was printed by News24 without a shred of evidence. If R34 million had actually been defrauded—requiring thousands of victims—there would be a paper trail, complaints, platform bans, or at the very least, an online footprint. Yet there is nothing. No police statements from guests.
No charge sheets referencing it. No bank alerts. No civil litigation. Nothing. The platforms remained active, the reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and no guest has ever made such a claim. The number was invented to create a media spectacle and repeated to bolster a criminal narrative that never existed.
The Press Council: My Last Hope for Accountability
The failure of Media24 to acknowledge, correct, or retract its false reporting left me with no choice but to escalate my complaint to the regulatory body tasked with ensuring journalistic integrity—the Press Council. If Media24 was unwilling to act, surely the very institution responsible for oversight would intervene?
I began reaching out to journalists directly, hoping someone—anyone—would investigate. While some admitted my story was significant, they simply could not believe that South Africa’s largest media conglomerate had knowingly published false, defamatory, and legally reckless articles. “They wouldn’t publish it if it wasn’t true,” was the common response.
Finally, one journalist suggested filing a complaint with the Press Council. I had never heard of the body before, but learning of its existence gave me a renewed sense of hope. If there was an independent regulatory body tasked with ensuring journalistic integrity, surely they would intervene?
I spent weeks compiling a comprehensive complaint, meticulously laying out every ethical breach, fabrication, omission of fact, and direct violation of the Press Code. I assumed that when presented with the sheer scale of misconduct by one of their members, the Press Council would be horrified and act swiftly. After all, their mandate is to uphold the integrity of the press.
Media24’s False and Fabricated Articles vs the Facts and the Truth
MEDIA24
FALSE:
"This case looks like a wasp's nest to me," the Magistrate replied before adjourning the bail application until Monday."
TRUE:
The quote is real, but the context was deliberately omitted. The magistrate was not referring to any complexity in the case against me, but to the web of misconduct surrounding it: landlords abusing civil processes, a private investigator meddling in public prosecutions, and SAPS (South African Police Service) officers presenting false testimony under oath.
In fact, the magistrate openly criticised the polices conduct in court. But Media24 left that out, opting instead to frame the case as a complex fraud, when in reality, the only complexity lay in how many people were complicit in manufacturing it.
Why This Matters: The Consequences of Their Inaction
If Media24 had been held accountable in 2023, those articles would not still be online. If the Press Council had fulfilled its duty, my name would not still be synonymous with fraud, theft, and lies.
-
Their failure to act has enabled these falsehoods to persist, ruining my life and destroying any chance of recovery.
-
They have allowed Media24 to continue weaponizing journalism as a tool for criminal conspiracies.
-
They have set a precedent that media conglomerates can fabricate entire cases against individuals without consequence.
I created this website not just to expose the corruption of the consortium, SAPS, and Media24—but to expose the Press Council itself as a failed institution that refuses to uphold the most fundamental principles of journalism.
A Final Attempt at Justice: Appealing to the Ombudsman
My final hope is to appeal directly to the Ombudsman—to someone who takes their role seriously, who understands the gravity of this case, and who has the authority to correct one of the worst violations of the Press Code imaginable.
I never wanted to pursue litigation. All I wanted was the truth to be published, the articles retracted, and sincere apologies issued. Yet, the Press Council’s refusal to act has left me with no choice. By failing to regulate Media24, they have actively facilitated this campaign of defamation and destruction.
Their role was to prevent cases like this, not enable them. They have not only failed me—they have failed every reader and every journalist who believes in ethical reporting. This is not just about me. If Media24 can fabricate an entire case against me without consequence, they can do it to anyone.
This is not just a failure of oversight—it is a betrayal of public trust. If the Press Council remains silent, they are not just complicit in my case; they are setting a dangerous precedent that the largest media corporations in South Africa are beyond accountability. If lies can remain unchallenged, then no journalist, no citizen, and no victim of false reporting is safe.If the Press Council refuses to act now, they are not just failing me—they are failing every person who has ever trusted the South African press to report the truth.
A Complaint Ignored: The Press Council’s Failure to Act
I submitted the complaint and eagerly awaited a response. Days passed. Then weeks. By September 2023, five weeks had passed without any acknowledgment. I followed up, only to receive a delayed response filled with questions—questions that had already been answered in the original submission.
-
They had received my complaint.
-
They had read it—but only cursorily.
-
They had no intention of acting unless forced.
They responded with a series of questions—the answers to which were already in the complaint. It was evident they had simply glanced at it, dismissed it as too much work, and shelved it. I spent another month answering their questions, despite already having done so in the original submission. Eighteen-hour days compiling additional evidence, resubmitting everything—ensuring there was no excuse for inaction. And yet, nothing happened.
By November 2023, I sent another polite follow-up. ..... No response.
At this point, it became clear—the Press Council was simply not going to act. It had no interest in upholding its mandate. It had no interest in regulating its members. It was nothing more than a toothless organization, designed to create the illusion of accountability while protecting the powerful.
LANDSCAPING & REMODEL OF UNUSABLE LOWER GARDEN
Media24's Articles, Created the False Narrative of Villain & Victim.
The only narrative is the web of lies spun by Inge Broad and Keith Broad, and given credibility by Media24. The truth was the polar opposite.
Even a cursory glance at the tens of thousands of photos including those available publicly online would show that far from causing damage, the properties were transformed beyond recognition. A fact easily verifiable by Media24 had they wished to check before printing the lies.
Of the dozens of examples: Set at a more than 45 degree angle the lower half of the garden was completely unusable. A waste given the stunning view.
To add yet more features for guests to enjoy, I designed, planned and executed a complete remodel. Building a plateau where a custom designed and made cabana sat, and constructing an amphitheater, for guests to enjoy everything from outside movies to al fresco dining.
THE HIDDEN EPIDEMIC: THE ABSOLUTE FAILURE TO POLICE THE POLICE
A System Designed to Conceal Police Criminality
The misconduct by SAPS (South African Police Service) officers in my case is not an exception—it is part of a deeply entrenched culture of impunity that extends far beyond my experience. The statistics reveal a shocking truth: police crimes in South Africa are overwhelmingly underreported, rarely investigated, and almost never result in real accountability.
While official statistics on police misconduct in South Africa paint a disturbing picture, the true scale of the problem is far worse than what is reported. A growing body of research suggests that the vast majority of crimes committed by police officers never make it into official records, hidden beneath a culture of fear, systemic failures, and institutionalized corruption.
According to multiple sources, including IPID, Corruption Watch, and the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), the estimated percentage of police crimes that are formally reported is as low as 15-20%. This means that up to 85% of crimes committed by police officers go entirely unreported, creating a system where police misconduct is both widespread and almost completely unchecked.
The Statistics: How Many Police Crimes Are Hidden?
Total Cases of Police Misconduct Reported Annually In the 2022-2023 IPID Annual Report, 8,389 cases of police misconduct were officially reported. These include assault, rape, murder, corruption, and other serious offenses committed by SAPS (South African Police Service) officers.
The Estimate of Underreporting Multiple studies suggest that only 10-20% of police crimes are ever reported. Based on the statistics of underreporting, as well as other reports, it is estimated that crimes committed by the police comfortably exceeds 100,000 per annum.
-
Breakdown of Investigation & Prosecution Outcomes Cases Investigated by IPID: Only 60% (approximately 5,000 cases) are formally investigated.
-
Cases Resulting in Findings Against Officers: Only 10% (about 800 cases) result in findings of wrongdoing.
-
Cases Referred for Prosecution: Less than 5% (around 400 cases) are referred to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
-
Cases Ending in Charges: Under 2% (about 160 cases) result in formal charges.
-
Cases Ending in Convictions: Less than 1% (approximately 80 cases) lead to a conviction.
-
Sentences Compared to Regular Citizens: Police officers convicted of crimes are far more likely to receive lighter sentences or non-custodial penalties, particularly in cases of assault and corruption.
FACT FILES: THE DOCKET WAS NEVER MEANT TO SUPPORT A TRIAL
The docket’s lack of evidence made it impossible for the prosecution to ever successfully take the case to trial.
If the goal was prosecution, the investigating officers would have built a case post-arrest, adding forensic and financial evidence. Instead, they did nothing.
The reason? The real purpose of the case was to keep me in prison long enough for my properties and assets to be taken. The moment that objective was achieved, the case fell apart.
Despite the staggering numbers of police misconduct cases that occur annually, victims often never report these crimes. Research identifies several key reasons:
Fear of Retaliation Many victims—especially those in vulnerable communities—fear that reporting police abuse will lead to further victimization. There have been multiple cases of whistleblowers and complainants being harassed, assaulted, or falsely charged by SAPS (South African Police Service) officers as retaliation.
Lack of Trust in Oversight Bodies IPID has an extremely low conviction rate (under 1%), making many believe that filing a report is pointless. Corruption Watch South Africa found that public confidence in IPID’s ability to hold officers accountable is at an all-time low.
Bureaucratic and Legal Barriers Many victims experience intimidation, delays, and deliberate obstruction when attempting to file complaints. Complaints are often "lost," dismissed without proper review, or never followed up on.
Financial and Legal Inequality Victims without money, legal representation, or powerful connections are at a massive disadvantage. Police officers have access to state-funded legal defense and union protections, making it nearly impossible for an ordinary citizen to win a case against them.
Media Silence and Lack of Public Awareness While some high-profile cases receive media coverage, the vast majority of police misconduct cases remain hidden from the public. Media outlets like Media24 often work to protect state narratives, reinforcing the idea that SAPS (South African Police Service) misconduct is not widespread.
The Consequences of a Lawless Police Force
The underreporting of police crimes has catastrophic consequences for justice, democracy, and public safety in South Africa:
It enables unchecked police criminality. If officers know that they will never face real consequences, they are far more likely to commit crimes.
It erodes public trust in law enforcement. The more citizens believe that police officers operate with impunity, the less likely they are to cooperate with authorities.
It disproportionately harms the poor and marginalized. Those without wealth or legal resources have no defense against wrongful arrests, abuses of power, and false charges.
It creates a two-tier justice system. While ordinary citizens face severe penalties for crimes, police officers can commit the same offenses and walk free.
What Needs to Change?
Addressing this crisis requires a complete overhaul of police oversight and accountability measures:
IPID must be restructured to ensure real independence from SAPS (South African Police Service) and improve conviction rates.
Whistle-blower protections must be strengthened to allow more victims to come forward without fear of retaliation.
A fully independent corruption task force must be created to investigate SAPS (South African Police Service) crimes separately from internal police mechanisms.
The media must be held accountable for failing to expose widespread police criminality and protecting corrupt narratives.
Judicial reform is needed to prevent police officers from receiving lighter sentences than civilians for the same crimes.
Final Assessment: A System Designed for Impunity
The police in South Africa do not just enforce the law—they operate above it. With an estimated 100,000 crimes committed by SAPS (South African Police Service) officers annually, and less than 1% leading to any real consequences, the system is not broken—it is designed to protect the guilty and punish the powerless. Unless real accountability measures are implemented, the cycle of abuse, corruption, and injustice will continue unchecked, ensuring that SAPS (South African Police Service) remains one of the most lawless police forces in the democratic world.
While the prosecution of police officers for crimes is rare, convictions are even rarer, and meaningful sentences are almost non-existent. The criminal justice system does not just fail to hold SAPS (South African Police Service) officers accountable—it actively protects them from real consequences.
Why So Many Crimes Go Unreported?
FACT FILES: THE SAPS ACCOUNTABILITY CRISIS
SAPS officers knowingly broke the law because they expected no consequences.
Police crimes in South Africa face:
-
Low rates of investigation.
-
Even lower rates of prosecution.
-
Almost nonexistent convictions.
-
Lenient sentences even when officers are convicted.
This impunity is what allowed SAPS officers to be weaponized by the landlords to execute illegal evictions disguised as arrests.
REPORT INTO I.P.I.D
SAPS IPID Investigations: The Numbers That Prove Systemic Failure
This table exposes the staggering failure of South Africa’s police oversight system. Out of an estimated 100,000 crimes committed by SAPS officers, only 8.39% are reported, and a mere 0.03% result in convictions with sentences equal to civilian standards.
The numbers reveal a system designed to protect law enforcement from consequences, ensuring that corruption, abuse, and misconduct continue unchecked.
Breakdown of Key Figures:
• Total estimated police crimes: 100,000+
• Reported cases: 8,390 (8.39%)
• Cases investigated by IPID: 1,250 (1.25%)
• Cases referred for prosecution: 320 (0.32%)
• Convictions with meaningful sentences: 30 (0.03%)
The numbers prove that SAPS officers operate with near-total impunity, shielded by a system that refuses to hold them accountable.
A Two-Tier Justice System: Sentencing For Police Versus Civilians
Multiple reports, including IPID data, Corruption Watch investigations, and research by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), reveal a consistent pattern of leniency when it comes to sentencing police officers.
Lighter Sentences for the Same Crimes Assault & Brutality Cases: SAPS (South African Police Service) officers receive suspended sentences in 70% of cases, while civilians face imprisonment for similar offenses. Even in cases where excessive force leads to serious injury or death, SAPS (South African Police Service) officers are rarely handed significant jail time.
Corruption & Fraud: Police officers convicted of corruption are 3x more likely to receive fines or community service rather than prison time. Civilians convicted of equivalent fraud or corruption offenses routinely receive long custodial sentences.
Murder & Culpable Homicide: Less than 20% of convicted SAPS (South African Police Service) officers serve their full prison sentences, benefiting from reduced sentencing and early parole. Example: A SAPS (South African Police Service) officer convicted of murder in 2019 received a 10-year sentence, whereas a civilian convicted of a comparable crime would likely face 15-25 years.
Non-Custodial Sentences vs. Imprisonment: More than 50% of police officers convicted of crimes receive non-custodial sentences—including suspended sentences, fines, and demotions. Civilians convicted of the same offenses overwhelmingly receive prison time.
Judicial Bias & Institutional Protections
The leniency shown to SAPS (South African Police Service) officers is not accidental. It is built into the system:
"Line of Duty" Defense: Courts often accept police officers' arguments that their crimes were committed "in the course of duty", reducing their sentences or dismissing charges altogether.
Union & Institutional Protections: SAPS (South African Police Service) officers have access to state-funded legal defense, union-backed protections, and political shielding, making prosecutions incredibly difficult.
Internal Influence on Investigations: Even when cases are investigated, senior (South African Police Service) officials frequently intervene to protect their colleagues, leading to downgraded charges or complete case dismissals.
The Ultimate Protection: A System That Refuses to Punish
Even in the rare cases where a SAPS (South African Police Service) officer is convicted, their punishment is often a fraction of what a civilian would face. The statistics prove it:
-
IPID found that only 1 in 5 convicted (South African Police Service) officers received a sentence comparable to that of a civilian.
-
A police officer convicted of murder is likely to receive a sentence 30-50% shorter than a civilian convicted of the same crime.
-
Convicted officers rarely serve their full sentences, benefiting from legal loopholes, parole, and systemic bias.
What This Means for Justice in South Africa - You're on your own
-
If police officers know they will never face real consequences, what incentive is there for them to stop committing crimes?
-
If SAPS (South African Police Service) officers can murder, steal, and brutalize with impunity, what does that say about the justice system?
-
If even the rare convictions result in symbolic punishments, is there any accountability at all? This is not a broken system—it is a system that is functioning exactly as it was designed: to shield the powerful and punish the powerless. Unless real reform is implemented, SAPS (South African Police Service) officers will continue to act with impunity, safe in the knowledge that even if they are convicted, they will never truly pay for their crimes.
FACT FILES: A BROKEN SYSTEM THAT SHIELDS POLICE CRIMINALITY
SAPS (The South African Police Service) officers acted with full confidence that they would face no consequences because they know:
-
Most reports of police corruption never get investigated.
-
Even when investigated, most cases never result in prosecution.
-
Even when prosecuted, convictions are rare.
-
Even when convicted, punishments are lenient or nonexistent.
The landlords understood this reality and weaponized SAPS officers to execute illegal evictions under the guise of law enforcement. The system is designed to protect rogue officers, allowing police criminality to flourish unchecked.
THE ONGOING APARTHEID: A SYSTEM THAT STILL DIVIDES
While apartheid may have officially ended in 1990, my experience has shown that its structures, inequalities, and injustices are still deeply entrenched in South Africa today. This is not the apartheid of explicit racial laws, but an equally insidious form: an unbridgeable divide between the powerful and the powerless, the rich and the poor, the connected and the unconnected.
Justice, opportunity, and protection under the law remain privileges reserved for a select few—those with wealth, influence, and connections. Meanwhile, those without access to corporate boardrooms, law enforcement allies, or media complicity find themselves at the mercy of a system designed to exclude them.
A Justice System Built for the Few
The ability to defend oneself in South Africa’s legal system is not about truth or evidence—it is about resources and influence. If you can afford high-powered attorneys, if you have allies in (South African Police Service) , in government offices, in the media, then you can bend the system to your will. But for those who lack these advantages, the legal system is not a path to justice—it is an inescapable trap.
Access to competent legal defense is stratified by wealth. If you rely on state-appointed attorneys, you stand little chance—especially in complex cases. A single individual faces the full force of the National Prosecuting Authority, (South African Police Service) , and a system that is not built to ensure justice, but to sustain itself.
Arrests require almost no evidence. The threshold for detaining someone is shockingly low, and once arrested, an individual can be kept indefinitely under the excuse of 'further investigation'—with no obligation on the investigating officer to actually produce further evidence.
Bail applications and trials can be endlessly delayed. Courts rely on the honesty of investigating officers, yet police corruption is rampant, with officers underpaid and incentivized to abuse their authority.
Police Corruption and Lack of Oversight
In any democratic society, there are supposed to be mechanisms to keep law enforcement accountable. Yet in South Africa, there is no functioning regulatory system that holds corrupt officers accountable.
The vast majority of misconduct complaints against SAPS (South African Police Service) are never investigated. Of the few that are investigated, only a tiny fraction result in prosecution. Even when convictions do happen, sentences are far lighter than those imposed on ordinary citizens for the same crimes.
The reality is that a police officer in South Africa can commit crimes with virtually no risk of facing consequences. When a system allows law enforcement to operate without accountability, corruption becomes inevitable.
And once that injustice is committed—whether it be unlawful arrest, fabricated evidence, or gross abuse of power—the victim has almost no recourse. This ensures that corruption and misconduct will only continue to spread, unchecked and unchallenged.
Media24’s False and Fabricated Articles vs the Facts and the Truth
MEDIA24
FALSE:
"We did it through a reputable agent and paid them for a background check."
TRUE:
The exported WhatsApp chats with their agent Anton Moller dismantle every major lie the Broads pushed, proving they knew about the short-term rentals, accepted the payments, and approved the business model from the start.
To say that South Africa’s legal and judicial systems overwhelmingly favor the white and wealthy may be controversial—but it is also undeniably true. The system is not just failing the marginalized; it is actively perpetuating injustice by ensuring that only those with resources can avoid being destroyed by it.
This is why regulatory bodies like the Press Council, IPID, and PSIRA are critical. They are often the only hope for victims of systemic corruption, and yet, as seen in my case, they routinely fail in their responsibilities.
If these institutions functioned as they should, police misconduct, media corruption, and judicial abuse would be significantly reduced. Instead, their inaction serves as a green light for those in power to continue exploiting the system for their own gain.
The Press Council and the Defamation Trap
One of the most devastating aspects of this systemic failure is the lack of recourse for victims of defamation. False reporting—particularly when backed by media giants like Media24—can destroy reputations, end careers, and make justice impossible for the falsely accused. For those with wealth and influence, defamation can be countered with expensive lawyers, high-profile lawsuits, and immediate damage control. But for those without these resources, there is no way to fight back.
This is precisely why the Press Council exists—to provide an avenue for ordinary people to challenge media abuse without requiring immense financial resources. Yet, as seen in my case, the Press Council does not function as intended. Instead of providing oversight, it serves as a bureaucratic barrier that protects media corporations while leaving victims without resolution.
The Press Council ignored clear violations of journalistic ethics in my case. They failed to act when presented with overwhelming evidence of media misconduct. By refusing to investigate, they have effectively legitimized the lies that continue to destroy my life.
Just as (South African Police Service) fails to regulate its corrupt officers, the Press Council fails to regulate its most powerful media members. This two-tier system of justice—one for the rich and connected, another for the rest—ensures that defamation is a weapon only used against those without the means to fight back.
Key Areas of Systemic Failure
-
Access to Legal Services:
-
Justice is for sale; those without money are left defenseless.
-
-
Criminal Justice:
-
The legal system is weaponized against individuals while protecting those in power.
-
-
Media Complicity:
-
Media giants like Media24 do not report truth—they manufacture narratives that serve their interests.
-
-
Wealth, Privilege, and Connections:
-
A two-tier society where influence dictates reality.
-
-
Acceptability of Corruption:
-
When police, courts, and the media normalize corruption, it becomes the status quo. Resource Disparity: Those with money and connections control the system—those without are at its mercy. The Press Council’s Failure: A regulatory body meant to balance power instead protects the media elite and enables defamation as a weapon.
-
Conclusion: A System Ripe for Abuse
The structures of apartheid may no longer be enshrined in law, but they continue to exist in practice. The powerful still exploit the powerless, and justice remains an illusion for all but the privileged few. Until the press, the courts, and law enforcement are truly held accountable, South Africa will remain a country where justice is not blind, but bought.
A System That Perpetuates Injustice
FACT FILES: SAPS STILL REFUSES TO RETURN MY DOCUMENTS
Even after the immigration charge was withdrawn, SAPS refused to return my passport, devices, and critical business documents. Each request was ignored or met with further delays, forcing me into costly legal battles just to retrieve my own property.
They had stolen my freedom, stolen my assets, and now they were using bureaucratic stalling tactics to continue obstructing justice long after my release.
THE SYSTEMIC FAILURE THAT ENABLES CRIMINALITY AND THE COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF OVERSIGHT’
If the events outlined on this website seem impossible, it is only because we assume that safeguards exist to prevent such abuses. This case proves otherwise—not only can those with connections and corrupt influence weaponize law enforcement against an innocent person, but there are almost no effective avenues for victims to seek justice. I did not sit back and allow this to happen. I have spent years taking every possible legal route to expose this conspiracy and hold those responsible accountable. Every complaint has been filed. Every authority has been notified. Every legal avenue has been pursued. And yet, those entrusted with oversight have either ignored, delayed, or obstructed action at every turn.
The Failure Of Law Enforcement & The Justice System
IPID (Independent Police Investigative Directorate), tasked with investigating police corruption, ignored a case with overwhelming evidence of criminal acts by (South African Police Service) officers. Their track record speaks for itself—near-zero meaningful prosecutions of police corruption. Functioning more as window dressing than a regulatory body, they refused to act despite evidence of fabricated charges, falsified affidavits, and abuse of the criminal justice system. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) refused to investigate perjury, fabricated dockets, and procedural violations.
They pursued charges against me despite clear legal and factual flaws, while dismissing complaints against the real criminals without investigation. Faced with irrefutable evidence of a conspiracy, their response was silence. SAPS Leadership and Internal Oversight, presented with direct evidence of officers engaging in illegal conduct, did nothing. Known corrupt officers were left to continue operating with impunity, while multiple official complaints resulted in no meaningful investigation. If SAPS officers can fabricate evidence, execute unlawful arrests, and detain innocent people without consequence, then law enforcement is no longer a mechanism for justice—it is a weapon for those with power and influence.
The Failure Of Media Oversight: The Press Council's Complicity
The Press Council exists to uphold journalistic integrity—to ensure accuracy, fairness, and accountability in the media. Instead, it protected Media24 and enabled its role in this criminal conspiracy. Despite receiving detailed, documented complaints outlining violations of journalistic ethics—including demonstrably false reporting, omission of key evidence, and reckless disregard for the truth—the Press Council took no action. Not a single correction was issued. Not a single retraction was published. Knowingly false articles remain online to this day, continuing to destroy my reputation and reinforce the fraudulent narrative. The fabricated news stories were used as “evidence” in my arrests, justifying false charges and securing my unlawful detentions. By refusing to hold Media24 accountable, the Press Council has not only allowed, but actively facilitated, this campaign of defamation and disinformation. If journalists can fabricate entire cases against individuals without accountability, then no one is safe from having their reputation destroyed with lies.
This Is Not Just Corruption—It Is Impunity
If police officers can fabricate evidence, execute unlawful arrests, and detain innocent people without consequence, what society do we live in? If regulatory bodies refuse to act, who holds them accountable? If the courts are powerless to prevent this level of corruption, what recourse is there? If the media can fabricate entire cases against people, who ensures the truth prevails? The frightening reality is there is no functioning mechanism in place to stop this from happening again. This is not just my battle—it is a wake-up call. If those responsible for this are not held accountable, the precedent is set: the police can be used as enforcers for private individuals, the media can be used as a propaganda machine, and justice will belong only to those who can buy it.
If This Can Happen To Me, It Can Happen To Anyone
If police officers can fabricate evidence without consequence, no one is safe from wrongful arrest. If the media can publish outright lies without accountability, anyone’s reputation can be destroyed in an instant. If oversight bodies refuse to act, corruption will continue unchecked. If the police can be used as enforcers for private individuals, if the media can be weaponized as a propaganda machine, and if justice belongs only to those who can buy it—then the very foundation of law and democracy has collapsed.
FACT FILES: A SYSTEM USED AS A WEAPON
This was never about a visa violation. It was about using state institutions to destroy my reputation, seize my business, and prevent me from fighting back.
They stole my documents, spread false accusations, manipulated Home Affairs records, and kept me in prison on fabricated charges. Every action was designed to break me, ensuring I had no resources left to challenge what they had done.
THE INESCAPABLE TRUTH: WHY THIS
WEBSITE EXISTS
What has been laid out here is not conjecture. It is not speculation. Every claim, every accusation, every fact presented is backed by documented evidence—court records, financial transactions, sworn affidavits, and the very timelines that expose the fraud.
If this had been a legitimate case, there would be evidence—real, verifiable, forensic evidence to support the allegations against me. But there is none. Because the fraud never existed. The only fraud was the campaign waged against me.
The reality is undeniable: every charge brought against me was fabricated and collapsed the moment it faced real legal scrutiny. Every single entity entrusted with oversight—IPID, the Press Council, (South African Police Service) leadership—either failed to act or actively facilitated this abuse. Every key legal moment was strategically manipulated to ensure my absence, eliminating my ability to defend myself.
Every piece of evidence that could exonerate me was buried, ignored, or erased. The criminals—those who orchestrated this—remain free, their crimes uninvestigated, their wealth and reputations intact.
This website exists for one reason: to ensure that this does not remain hidden. If the courts have failed, the truth will be here. If (South African Police Service) continues to obstruct justice, the facts will be here. If the media refuses to correct their lies, the evidence will be here.
Because the final, brutal reality is this: if they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone. This is not just my battle—it is a warning. A wake-up call. A precedent that, if left unchallenged, will embolden those in power to use the justice system as a weapon against anyone who stands in their way.
That is why this cannot be buried. That is why this must never be forgotten. That is why this website will remain. The facts speak for themselves.
And so far, thanks to SAPS and Media24, they have gotten away with it.
FACT FILES: A BROKEN SYSTEM THAT SHIELDS POLICE CRIMINALITY
At every stage, SAPS officers knowingly broke the law, stacking one illegality on top of another:
An arrest warrant was denied twice—so they used a seizure warrant instead.
-
The seizure warrant was internally signed off, which is illegal.
-
They falsely claimed urgency to justify it.
-
They knew I wasn’t a flight risk—because they had my passport.
