GAIL BROAD'S PROPOSAL TO RENT KEITHS PROPERTY AT LEIRMANS ROAD
The allegations were explicit, unambiguous and unqualified.
-
That we had no permission to undertake works to the property / properties.
-
That the landlords Keith Broad and Inge Broad, and the other members of the consortium , had no knowledge of the works.
-
That the works were not refurbishment or improvements, but rather damage, and malicious damage at that.
-
That the owners, had no know of the subletting model.
-
That the owners gave no consent for the subletting model.
-
That the owners “discovered” this operation some time into the lease, were shocked to do so, and litigated on this basis.
-
That I only paid a month or twos rent then stopped.
-
That that was the intention from the outset and part of the “modus operand”.
Most damaging these lies, made by no one else, printed nowhere else, not referenced in any documentation legal or otherwise, were printed verbatim by Media24 including being published byNews24, Netwerk24, Die Burger, Volksblad, Beeld (Media24), Rapport etc, and read by millions. And in that moment the fabrications were transformed into fact in the mind of those millions.
As with every single statement Keith and Inge broad have made, these were all outright lies, and they could not have been more disingenuous because:
-
The very thing they claim not to know about or consent to be the very foundations of the agreement and the lease.
-
They were also the essential components of what made the proposal viable.
-
They were also the key features of Keiths plan to use the proposal to obtain a free refurbishment.
-
And crucially, the proposal did not come from me, but rather from Keith, Inge and Gail broad.
While mountain of evidence exists to substantiate my position, this one simple fact on its own exposes their fundamental claims as entirely false. Further, it exposes the depth and hypocrisy of those lies. The WhatsApp export from Gail Broad, runs to several thousand messages and any reading of it demonstrates that every claim made by the consortium is false.
GAIL BROAD, COUSIN OF AND THE AGENT FOR KEITH BROAD AND HIS WIFE INGE BROAD
WHATSAPP CHAT EXPORT
Conversation With Keith Broad's Agent and Cousin Gail Broad. Gail Broad’s WhatsApp Chat Export: Proof That the Proposal Was Theirs, Not Mine
How Keith and Inge Broad Knew, Approved, and Benefited from the Sub-Rental Mode:
This WhatsApp chat export obliterates the false claims made by Keith and Inge Broad, proving that:
✔ The sub-rental model was their idea, not mine—they introduced and pushed the proposal.
✔ They knew and consented to the property transformation—which they later misrepresented as damage.
✔ They relied on this model to ensure rent payments—contradicting their fabricated arrears claims.
✔ They falsely accused me of double bookings, damage, and misappropriation of stored items—all disproven by their own messages.
The transcript exposes the deception behind their allegations, revealing how they engineered the lease to secure a free refurbishment, only to later weaponize false claims for financial gain.
Key Messages Establishing the Proposal
The WhatsApp conversations provide clear documentation of how the proposal for Keith Broad’s property was introduced, discussed, and developed. These messages establish the timeline, as well as the condition of the property, and mutual understanding between the parties leading to the lease agreement. As examples, a few excerpts
Gail Introduces the Property
(13/09/2021, 14:44:19 | Gail): “Hey, on another note, how do you feel about Llandudno?”
(13/09/2021, 14:47:19 | Gail): “I may have something for you to play with there...”
(13/09/2021, 15:01:58 | Gail): “Also comes with a resident house man, who knows everything about the property.”
(13/09/2021, 15:52:56 | Gail): “Ok, they are keen to discuss... their December booking just cancelled, so could be available from 1 October? I offered them R 85 000 pm and they are happy with that... so do you want to view?”
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
WhatsApp messages clearly document how Keith Broad's property proposal was initiated, negotiated, and agreed upon.
These conversations confirm the timeline, the property's condition, and the mutual understanding between parties before the lease agreement.
The records directly contradict claims of ignorance, proving full knowledge and consent.
Property’s Very Poor Condition & The Works Needed, Known About & Approved
(13/09/2021, 14:48:04 | Gail): “Close to the beach, but in dire need of a revamp.”
[13/09/2021, 15:01:08] Gail: Actually, belongs to my cousin... hence the name Villa ABROAD... 😂😂😂😂😂😂
[13/09/2021, 15:02:00] Darren de Rodez.: interesting, the house has potential for sure. although needs A LOTTA LOTTA WORK and lots of magic fairy dust 🙏
[13/09/2021, 15:54:10] Darren de Rodez.: It will suck in a ton of money to do it up to HH standard but i think it would be worth it as a long-term hold. The essentials like view, size, pool proximity to the beach is all there. But bearing in mind the investment it would need what rent would they be lookin at? 🙏
[14/09/2021, 16:27:45] Darren de Rodez.: It will suck in a lot of money. even the first cosmetic phase will suck in prob 200k and the over the next year an easy million. But the end result will be worth it🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
[14/09/2021, 16:29:55] Gail: Yes you can.... i am so excited for you 😘 ❤️ ❤️
[14/09/2021, 16:30:40] Darren de Rodez.: let the transformation begin 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
These exchanges demonstrate the candid acknowledgment of the property’s poor condition and the significant investment needed to make it viable. This also tackles head on the claims made much later by Keith and Inge Broad and broadcast by Meduia24 that I damaged the property, when in reality I transformed beyond recognition .
The Fundamental Requirement & Red Line
[13/09/2021, 15:02:42] Darren de Rodez.: okye cool. so theyd be happy with a long long let? as itll suck in a shit ton of money the first year to bring it up to HH standards xx
The Random Clause’s Real Purpose
They also engineered the lease to include what seemed like a very odd clause at the time: that all contents—furniture, accessories, etc.—would become theirs when the lease ended.
I took the view that after five years, the furnishings and contents of a property that had been permanently let out (to what would have been over four hundred different groups of guests if we worked on average 4–5-night stays) would have required replacement long before the expiry of the 5th year. It made no sense to me why anyone would want furniture and accessories that had been well and permanently used by guests for 60 consecutive months.
It was only when Keith began trying to take the property back as soon as we had finished the last of the works at the property that I realised he intended to end the lease, and thereby that clause would give him all of the contents, furnishings, and accessories that were essential to achieving the high sale and rental prices he needed and represented an expensive price he could never have afforded.
Had I known at the time, I would have tightened the wording, which was intentionally ambiguous, only referring to the content’s ownership reverting to the landlord at the end of the lease
The question has to be asked, why would a landlord be so instant on a clause that gave them ownership of contents that by the agreed end of the lease would be five years old and been used by as many as a hundred and twenty different groups of guests. The simple answer is that they planned to take back the property once the works were finished.
If I had left of my own free will, I would clearly have taken everything with me. And while the property would still be very significantly improved, he could not afford to replace all that would have been taken. That would have substantially reduced the property’s marketability and also substantially reduced the amount of rental income the property could achieve.
The only way they could afford to maintain the property and their lifestyle, while the property was marketed for sale would be to receive rental income that was substantially more than they were used to receiving.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
The lease included a peculiar clause stating that all furnishings and accessories would become the landlord’s property at the lease’s end. Initially, this seemed insignificant, as heavily used rental furniture would likely need replacing after five years.
However, once renovations were completed, it became clear this clause was a calculated move—designed to allow the landlord to reclaim a fully furnished, high-end property without paying for the improvements.
Had I left voluntarily, I would have taken everything with me, leaving them unable to achieve the high rental and sale prices they aimed for.
The 1000% Increase
When they rented the property themselves they we are banking an average of R60k per month. When they rented the property on the new lease that figure was R90k. But they needed more. After the arrest Keith had the property listed at between R15,000 and R25,000 per day.
The effect of the achievable rent being four to eight times more than before the transformation combined with the fact that the occupancy rate was three times better as a result of the transformations meant achievable rental income was R625,000 per month. an increase of 1,000%.
Immediately after the arrest Keith listed the property at R31 million. He had failed to sell the property just a year earlier at R24 million, as that was overpriced. Or valuation came back at R17 million in 2021. So, the price he listed it at was R14 million more than its value a year earlier, a sale price almost double its previous value. And R7 million more than the price he could not achieve just a year earlier.
As a result, Keith benefited from:
Refurbishment cost: R2,000,000
Rent and utility payments: R960,000 (including receiving full rent for the period of the refurbishment)
Furnishings and contents: R1,100,000
Premium Rent Yr 1: R4,500,000
Premium Rent Yr 2: R4,500,000
Increased capital value: R13,000,000**
TOTAL BENEFIT: R26,060,000
Keiths only outlay to achieve this was the cost of WDS and his legal fees.
Inversely, the cost to me:
Refurbishment cost: R2,000,000
Rent and utility payments: R960,000 (including receiving full rent for the period of the refurbishment)
Furnishings and contents: R1,100,000
Legal fees: R2,200,000 (civil and criminal)
Premium Rent Yr 1: R3,500,000 (rental income was far less than it would have been de to the constant attacks
Premium Rent Yr 1: R4,500,000
Premium Rent Yr 1: R4,500,000
Premium Rent Yr 1: R4,500,000
Premium Rent Yr 1: R4,500,000
TOTAL LOSSES: 27,760,000

Much better class of tourist[13/09/2021, 17:57:19] Gail: exactamagactly!
A Direct Transfer Of Wealth, From Me To Them
Based on the valuation of R17-18 million, which was a fair valuation and reflects in the fact Keith failed to achieve R24 million or close to. and based on an eventual sale price of R25 million. Although Keiths strategy of having the house listed with multiple agents will drive the price lower than its actual value.
In a nutshell, a direct transfer of wealth form the tenant to the landlord. I know for certain that they had no intention of honouring the lease. Their financial situation makes the sale of the property absolutely critical. This explains why they listed the property for sale before I rented it, immediately following the unlawful arrests in August and December, and on several other occasions throughout the tenancy.
This explains why any landlord would attempt to illegally evict a tenant who paid their rent in advance every three months and who was up to date and ahead on rental payments not only when he executed the first illegal eviction but also the subsequent ones.
It also explains why, after agreeing (under threat of litigation) to grant us access again after each attempt, he would always propose new leases, either commercial leases, which are not covered or protected by PIE (and therefore there is no option to apply for spoliation proceedings), or ones that allowed termination with little or no notice for a variety of reasons, including one proposal that he would be able to end the lease anytime he secured a buyer.
In the first nine months of the lease, we paid all three quarters of the rent in full and on time. Despite this, we faced four successful illegal evictions, multiple separate attempts to renegotiate a new lease with varying options for immediate termination, and numerous attempts to recover the property through the civil courts, numerous attempts to get Wellem either back in as a trojan horse or to obtain keys, fobs and alarm codes. During this time, despite all of this, we continued to pay the rent, and the utilities looked after the property impeccably.
Although Keith lied to everyone from Paula, to Ragi, News24 to the courts, SAPS to the Hawks. I suspect when first instructing WDS he even lied to him as well

Unavoidable Conclusion
The WhatsApp chats with Gail Broad provide undeniable evidence of how the proposal for Keith Broad’s property was introduced and developed. Gail’s messages detail the property’s very poor condition, the key elements of the proposal and business model, the need for works to the property and it being a fundamental part of the agreement, and the understanding and accepted premise that it was this rental income and the long term tenure that were the entire basis of and reason for the arrangements

[14/09/2021, 22:08:03] Darren de Rodez.: I’ll take a looky. Hola hola. It genuinely is a perfect business model. It’s a win win for everyone.

Plus they get hundreds of thousands pumped into their property. And a prospective buyer.
We get a beautiful property with huge potential and one which with tasteful refitting and clever marketing we can turn a profit on.
KEITH BROAD & GAIL BROAD'S LEASE PROPOSAL
This portion of the WhatsApp chat between myself and Gail Broad clearly shows who made the proposal, what the proposal was, and that Keith and Inge knew from the very conception of the idea and the deal that the purpose of renting the property was to then rent it out to guests. Including that the refurbishment works were an equally core part of the arrangement.
As well as my overriding requirement of a long tenure of five years to recoup the significant investment. The fundamental deceit was that the long tenure was held out to induce me into the agreement knowing I would never have agreed otherwise, in the full knowledge they had no intention of honouring that.
They knew that they could never have afforded to maintain the lease for more than a few months.

The Motivation Behind the Appointment of WDS
Keith cannot use the excuse that the attempted July evictions and actual illegal evictions had anything to do with the rent. The appointment of the WDS occurred in either May or June and the strategy shifted immediately upon his appointment. Ast the point WDS was instructed the rent was fully up to date, as were the utilities and bills, and we ha paid over a million Rand to Keith for both.
Self-evidently Keiths plans and strategy shifted prior to the appointment of WDS as the appointment of WDS shows exactly where Keith wanted to take the matter and methods.
In June, Keith petitioned the court to reschedule the eviction hearing from that month to November. No one, particularly the landlord, who was keen on recovering his property, would consider delaying the eviction hearing by six months unless they had other plans. Something came to his mind anyway that would be far faster, cheaper, and far more likely to succeed. So, the die had been cast even before we entered the fourth quarter of the lease, which was the July-September period.
Further, the only activity on the docket either since the December complaint , or before the next December rent was in May and June, that activity was the result of the efforts of Disberry. WDS, and Benette, the first paid PI. Clearly, the plans to use the criminal justice system were born in May 2022 or before.
Paulas list was created in December 2021, collated in the first month or two of 2022. Had I agreed to leave Hove Road before the renewal kicked in I doubt the list would ever have seen the light of day. The reason there was activity on the docket in May and June was because I was in a battle with Paula over occupation of the property. She and Keith formed an alliance in early 2022.
This is evidenced by the fact they wrote a joint letter to the platforms on or before 14 April 2022. Paula had stolen and secretly kept my passport just prior to that. So, after the passport theft, came the major attack on the platforms, followed by the attempts to create a docket substantive enough to motivate an arrest. Hence why on release from Pollsmoor I asked Johannes to negotiate an exit and hand the properties back in return for me getting my life back.
If Paula’s list had any purpose other than causing me damage and providing her and the others with strategic advantage then it would have been deployed during 2022 and not have waited another 6 months to resurface for the December bail application.

The Undeniable Value of WhatsApp Exports
Regardless if you read the WhatsApp conversation below it like much else, including the WhatsApp chats between myself and Johannes, the emails and correspondence exchanged between Johannes and Keith's attorneys (various attorneys, bearing in mind that he seemed to have a new one every two months), the court papers, all show that every one of the allegations that Keith has made and continues to make were complete fabrications.
WhatsApp Export As A Direct Window Into The Time And The Facts
If you read the emails and WhatsApp messages there is never a mention of Keith not knowing about the “subletting”, there is no mention of Keith not giving consent, there is no mention of rent arrears or utility arrears (excluding the fact Keith considered utility invoice he had issues as in arrears within hours of issue and that he actually billed us in advance for most of the items), and the items he listed as damage are the very same items that are now the main feature of their sales and marketing literature.
Anton was Keith’s agent, not mine. Antons’s obligations were to his client, not me. However, the WhatsApp conversations between myself and his agent, again confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that Keith's allegations were entirely false.
A reading of the below would leave no doubt in anyone’s mind as to motivation and goals:
-
Gail Broad’s WhatsApp’s
-
Gail Broads emails
-
Emails between Johannes and me
-
Emails between Johannes and Keiths attorneys
-
The lease itself
-
The list of Keths actions including the multiple illegal evictions
-
The list of actual illegal evictions and the procedural attempts to take back control
-
The marketing material for the sale and letting of the property.
-
The true financial position of Keith and Inge (this I do not have)
FACT FILES: DEMONSTRABLY FSABROCATED NARRATIVE
A thorough review of the emails, WhatsApp messages, and other communications reveals no mention of Keith being unaware of the "subletting," no mention of him not consenting, and no evidence of rent or utility arrears.
In fact, Keith had issues with utility invoices within hours of issuance, yet billed us in advance for many of these charges, and the items he listed as damages are now featured prominently in his sales and marketing material.
GAIL BROAD’S PROPOSAL TO RENT THE TWO HOUSES ON MONTEREY RD
The WhatsApp chats go onto include Gail Board proposal to lease the two properties in Hout Bay
Clearly showing that proposal came from Gail, with the full knowledge of the owners. As the chat shows Gail chased and pushed the deal repeatedly.
I was reluctant to take on another project and property with all the work that would entail when we had already gone from renting one half of Hove Rd to advertising, letting and manging two large villas in their entirety (Hove and Leirmans), none of us had experience in the short let market, or had ever been involved with full scale villa rental, none of us had done so during a summer or peak season, we had limited staff resources (including the fact that the staff e.g. Tania were limited in ability and time they would allocatee to the job ) and working from word, excel, with no bespoke app and unaware even of the existence of things like channel managers.

ANTON MOLLER, KEITH BROAD'S OWN LETTING AND MANAGING AGENT
TRANSCRIPT DOCUMENT
Conversation With The Keith Broad's Own Managing Agent Anton Moller
This WhatsApp chat export provides direct, unfiltered communication between Anton Moller—Keith Broad’s own managing agent—and the tenant.
The exchanges contradict every major allegation made by Keith and Inge Broad, proving that:
✔ Rent was always paid in full and on time—debunking the false arrears claims.
✔ Keith aggressively pursued illegal evictions despite the lease being valid.
✔ Utility payments were demanded early, then misappropriated—confirming financial misconduct.
✔ Keith’s hostility and manipulation were relentless, forcing Anton to resign.
Anton’s messages obliterate the false narrative Keith and Inge Broad constructed, exposing their pattern of deception, financial exploitation, and abuse of power
