A Coordinated Plan of Torture and Murder:
Boffa admitted to discussions about inflicting extreme physical harm to extract information and ensure compliance. The conspirators even debated ensuring their target “disappeared” entirely, leaving no trace behind
Complicity of SAPS Officers:
Boffa named specific officers complicit in the conspiracy, describing how fabricated charges and false narratives were used to justify unlawful arrests, detentions, and the illegal seizure of assets.
Psychological Manipulation and Financial Exploitation:
The conspirators leveraged threats, fabricated evidence, and coercion to manipulate Boffa into participating.
They systematically drained accounts and seized assets, ensuring their targets were financially incapacitated and unable to mount a defense.
The Role of Private Investigators:
Boffa highlighted the active role of private individuals, such as Andre and others, who coordinated efforts between the conspirators and complicit SAPS officers. These individuals acted as the operational linchpins, ensuring the conspiracy's plans were executed seamlessly.
FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
The conspirators used threats, fabricated evidence, and coercion to manipulate Mario Boffa, systematically draining accounts and seizing assets to incapacitate their targets.
Private investigators like Andre played a pivotal role, coordinating between the conspirators and complicit SAPS officers to execute the scheme seamlessly.
Conversations Detailing Violence:
Boffa revealed detailed plans of torture to extract information, describing how the conspirators discussed violent means casually and with a sense of enjoyment. These included physical harm and potential murder to ensure silence or cooperation.

FACT FILES: EXPOSING THE LIES, REVEALING THE TRUTH
The conspirators exploited financial accounts and properties, draining resources with Mario Boffa's coerced logistical assistance.
In his confession, Boffa expressed guilt and remorse, detailing how threats and manipulation forced him to access sensitive systems, extract financial information, and participate in attacks against innocent targets—offering a rare glimpse into the depths of this coordinated scheme.
A Personal Account of Betrayal
Mario Boffa described his personal anguish at being drawn into this conspiracy. While his initial involvement stemmed from coercion, his confession highlighted his guilt and remorse. He provided detailed accounts of how he was manipulated to:
Gain access to sensitive systems.
Extract financial information under duress.
Participate in coordinated attacks against innocent targets.
His confession is both a damning indictment of the conspirators' actions and a rare window into the inner workings of such a coordinated effort.
Conspiracy and Derivative Liability
Under South African law, conspiracy to commit a crime does not only implicate those who directly perpetrate the offenses but also extends liability to individuals who knowingly conspire or enable the crime. This principle, known as Conspiracy and Derivative Liability, underscores the severity of the offenses described in Boffa's confessions.
By aiding or abetting the conspirators, whether actively or passively, the parties involved are held liable for all resulting crimes. This legal framework is vital in understanding the culpability of all participants in the conspiracy, from law enforcement officers to private collaborators like Boffa himself.
The Broader Implications
Mario Boffa's confessions expose systemic flaws and vulnerabilities within South Africa's institutions. His testimony highlights the dangers of unchecked corruption and the catastrophic consequences of allowing personal vendettas to infiltrate public systems.
The actions of the conspirators, as detailed by Boffa, have far-reaching implications—not only for their victims but also for the integrity of South Africa's law enforcement and judicial systems.
THE CONFESSIONS: IN THEIR OWN WORDS – EVIDENCE OF A MURDER PLOT
This chapter presents some of the most damning, irrefutable evidence of the conspiracy against me—the direct confessions of the individuals involved in planning my abduction, torture, and murder. Unlike speculation or inference, these are their own words, captured in recorded conversations, WhatsApp messages, and detailed exchanges, exposing how they intended to carry out their plan and why they believed they would get away with it.
The transcripts, voice recordings, and messages documented in this section confirm, without doubt, that a group of individuals—led by Mario Boffa, Denis Dalton, Johan Schalkwyk, and Wouter de Swardt—had orchestrated a plan to forcibly extract financial information from me through torture, before eliminating me entirely. Their aim was not just to steal but to ensure I could never challenge their actions or expose their network of corruption.
The Motive: Money, Power, And A False Narrative To Justify Murder
-
They believed I had hidden millions in secret accounts, diamonds, and cash.
-
They saw my removal as the final step in securing total control over my properties, businesses, and assets.
-
They justified their actions under the false premise that I was a ‘scammer’—a fabricated narrative designed to make my disappearance seem justified.
The Method: Drugging, Torture, Then Murder
The confessions reveal how the plan evolved:
-
Initial Plan: Drugging – The original idea was to sedate me while asleep, gain access to my laptop, and drain my supposed accounts. They later realized they had no knowledge of my passwords or account structures, making this plan unfeasible.
-
Final Plan: Torture – Realizing they needed direct access to my accounts; they opted for physical violence to extract the information. Messages confirm they debated using dumbbells to break my skull and ensuring that I would ‘sleep forever’ once they had what they needed.
-
Elimination & Cover-Up – WhatsApp messages between Denis Dalton and Johan Schalkwyk explicitly reference that once I was removed, the narrative of a ‘scammer fleeing with millions’ would be used to explain my disappearance. Their confidence in their ability to evade justice came from their connections within SAPS (South African Police Service), particularly with Wouter de Swardt and Sergeant Stevens.
Their Words, Their Intentions: The Evidence
-
WhatsApp messages confirm the timeline of events, planning meetings, and involvement of multiple players.
-
Voice recordings show Mario Boffa openly discussing how ‘they needed to drain my accounts’ and ensure I was gone.
-
Secretly recorded video confessions from Mario Boffa detail how Denis Dalton and Johan Schalkwyk initiated the plan, alongside Wouter de Swardt’s backing.
Why This Evidence Is Undeniable
-
Direct admissions from the conspirators themselves.
-
Corroboration between different forms of evidence (messages, calls, video recordings).
-
Alignment between their statements and their actions leading up to my arrests and property seizures.
-
The same individuals who were responsible for my unlawful arrests and financial sabotage were also central to this murder plot.
Conclusion: The Attempt To Erase Me Permanently
This was not a random act of violence—it was a premeditated, coordinated murder plot driven by greed and power. The individuals involved were not just opportunistic criminals; they were part of a calculated conspiracy that had already weaponized law enforcement, media, and financial fraud against me.
This chapter is one of the most significant pieces of evidence in this entire case, proving that this was never just about legal disputes or financial disagreements—this was a criminal enterprise that saw my life as an obstacle in their path to illegal financial gain.

MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
1. “He Was Ready to Start Hitting You”
🕒 MB: Andre is a bit of a family man, but he was ready to—he wanted to start hitting you that day. Get you into such a state where you would've been out, and then do the computer thing and the laptop thing and everything.
🕒 MB: And I said, you can't. Everybody will see what he looks like. What if you kill him—and then we have another fucking body to get rid of?
🕒 DR: Because that's what he said about the dumbbells.
🕒 MB: Yes.
🕒 DR: Hitting me with the dumbbells.
🕒 MB: Yeah. Yeah. I said, you can't—please, you can't do that.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
2. “They Were Planning to Torture You”
🕒 MB: When he started taking the dogs out, I kept calling Jasper to me. I think it was Lila who refused to go out.
🕒 MB: And then he saw—they won’t leave the room. Because if the dogs had gone out that day, he would've started moering you.
🕒 MB: They were literally planning on torturing you. Not just letting something happen—torturing you.
🕒 MB: He still told me about pulling… I said, please—I have a very, uh, image mind…
🕒 DR: Uh, when you picture things.
🕒 MB: Visual mind. Please. Please don’t do it.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
3. “Don’t Do It—Or Don’t Talk About It?”
🕒 DR: Don’t do it. Or don’t talk about it?
🕒 MB: No, don’t talk about it.
🕒 DR: The thing is, you do it—just don’t talk about it?
🕒 MB: No, please don’t talk. I didn’t want to hear the details.
🕒 MB: They were raving—nobody would ever know what happened. They said exactly how it would be done.
🕒 MB: I said, please stop. This is freaking me out.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
4. “They Were So Sick—And They Believed It All”
🕒 MB: They would've got taken. Remember—they are so sick.
🕒 MB: They believe, either from what Paula told them, or whoever told them…
🕒 MB: They were convinced: diamonds, money in the house, millions on your phone.
🕒 MB: They knew I knew my way around a computer. That’s why they needed me.
🕒 MB: They first wanted to drug you. And I said—my mom said—don’t do it.
🕒 MB: So then they saw I was a bit resistant on it.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 5. “They Were Convinced There Was Money, Diamonds, Millions”
MB: They would've got taken. Remember—they’re so sick. They believe, either from what Paula told them or whoever else, that there are diamonds, money in this house, and millions on your phone. They knew I know my way around a computer, so they needed me. That’s why they first wanted to drug you. I said—my mom said—don’t do it. So they saw I was a bit resistant.
DR: Mm-hmm.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 6. “You’ll See What Happens Tomorrow”
MB: After that, Andre... what happened? Oh—it was when John had a booking. He planned to go down, open the door, and bring the guest right up to you.
DR: Mm-hmm.
MB: To force you to refund them—immediately—and then give you a moerse beating right here. He said everyone would shout and be happy that he did it. I thought, fok. He told Clement, “You’ll see what’ll happen tomorrow.” And that was the plan: to physically assault or terminate you. I said I’m not being part of this—this is criminal. That’s not what we wanted.
DR: Mm.
MB: Yes, something under the table to get a paper or two—not this violence. Then they stopped.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 7. “He Was Planning to Torture You for the Passwords”
MB: One day we were driving on the coast, I can’t even remember where, and he said he knows exactly how he’d do it—he’d torture you first. I said, “Damn man, Andre, stop.” Tried to push it off, but he started with the details and it’s fucking sickening.
DR: Torture me to get the whereabouts of funds—or just for fun?
MB: No—to make you suffer for the pain you caused those 28 people. And to force you to talk—to say where the stuff is, the laptop password, everything. I said, “And how the fuck do you plan to pull that off?” He said he’d take the dogs out, and once you started talking, he’d WhatsApp someone to fetch the laptop and phone.
DR: And then do what with me?
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 8. “Your Body Will Never Be Found”
MB: He said your body would never be found. That’s what they were planning. I said, “No man—this is really fucking…” I told them, you guys play with guns like it’s normal. He talked about Durban during the looting—
DR: Hmm.
MB: Apparently, he was on the floor when they fucked up the shops—just running, shooting, killing. I asked, “Why are you so fucked up over guns?”
DR: He killed people?
MB: They killed millions—running down the street, shooting everybody. They’re like fucking military people, bro.
DR: That’s sick.
MB: Mothers with children, standing, fighting for food—they literally drove into them with bakkies, ran them over.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 9. “Where Was He Going to Dump My Body?”
DR: But all three of them are sick like that. You could tell they—
MB: And looting.
DR: Where was he going to dump my body?
MB: He just said no one would find it.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 10. “They Were Fucking Up the World”
MB: 2001—the South African unrest. It’s on Wikipedia. Would there be pictures?
DR: Oh yeah.
MB: It’s also called the Zuma Unrest Riots. They trashed Durban, broke into everything, stole everything. It was when they locked up Jacob Zuma. Went on for two, three weeks. A 50-year-old boy got shot in the chest with a rubber bullet—by police. His wounds… he succumbed. I don’t know what that means.
DR: It means he died from his wounds.
MB: Oh, no shame. But yeah, hectic. Racial tension. He literally told me they drove these big fucking 4x4s and bakkies into crowds—just rode over people. I said, Sies. He said they were “fucking up the world.” And they enjoyed it—three days of just shooting everybody.
MB: No, but who the fuck raves about that, Darren? Huh? Someone working in an ambulance doesn’t brag about arms being ripped off. It’s gruesome. These guys are sick. Fucking gruesome.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 11. “They Said I Could Stay and Run the Business”
DR: And what were they going to do with the dogs when they dumped my body?
MB: No, no—I was already fighting. I said, what will happen to the dogs?
DR: Mm-hmm.
MB: And they said, “You can stay, continue the business.” I said, “I’m not fucking continuing the business—are you crazy?” I had my own business—it was a fuck-up. I don’t want that stress again.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 12. “They Can Take Lila and Billy” After They'dKilled You
MB: So I spoke to my uncle and aunt.
DR: Mm-hmm.
MB: They said they can’t take all three, but they can take Lila and Billy. I said okay. The dog—Shame, old Floyd—he passed away like two months ago.
DR: Mm-hmm.
MB: And my uncle or aunt—they can’t have kids. So they—
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
The Critical Moment: Averted by the Dogs
📌 MB: When he started taking the dogs out, I kept calling Jasper to me, and Lila refused to go out.
📌 DR: Mm.
📌 MB: Then he saw they wouldn’t leave the room. If the dogs had gone out that day, he would have started beating you.
📌 MB: They were planning not just an attack, but full torture.
📌 MB: He still talked about pulling—please, I have a visual mind. I begged him not to describe it.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 13. “They Were Talking About What Happens to My Stuff When I’m Dead”
DR: But the fact you were having that conversation.
MB: Yeah, but I mean, what was I supposed to—
DR: No, I’m not criticising you. I’m saying this is real. This isn’t—no, but literally, you were having a conversation about what happens to my stuff when I’m dead.
MB: No, not dead. This was when they were talking about your imprisonment. I said, “What will happen to the dogs? Who’s gonna look after the dogs?”
They said, “You can keep them.” I said, “Where will I keep them?”
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 14. “I Do Not Doubt for a Second They Would’ve Killed Me”
DR: Do you know what the thing is? I do not doubt for a second they would’ve killed me.
I really don’t think they would’ve hesitated—between them and Paula and Peter—they would’ve constructed it so that nobody actually looked like they were responsible.
MB: I should’ve fucking picked up when they wanted to get into the bank accounts.
And I thought to myself, why not just drain what you think he owes you?
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 15. “They Said: Drain It”
MB: They said, “Empty the accounts.” I asked, “Is there even money? If there is, how much should we, or should you, want transferred?”
DR: They wanted the whole lot. If there was a hundred million, they’d want a hundred million.
MB: No, I said, “What amount should be transferred?” They said, “Drain it.” When he's in that prison, they want you crying like a little boy when you realise all the money's gone.
DR: What they wanted was all the money.
MB: Yeah. That’s all they wanted.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 16. “All Fucking Geese from One Pond”
DR: And they—they just said, was Paula, like I said, with a moral—
MB: They are all from one fucking pond. All fucking geese from one pond. And that's the vorken physco pond. And then funny—your “Home Association for Protection of Public Interest.”
But he sold fertiliser all his life, bearing in mind— And is impersonating a registered SITA agent. He opened up a non-profit association, which is in business later—
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 17. “They Were Going to Drug You and Hack Your Laptop”
MB: They were really… You know how many times—
I hardly ever have a stomach that runs. I had a running tummy, Darren, every day from stressing out.
DR: I just think this is unreal. I know it’s real. This is a whole new level of crazy. How is Paula getting involved in this shit?
MB: I don’t know. But she’s got logins to all of our stuff.
DR: Like what?
MB: I must change it tonight. Everything. Airbnb is back on a new profile.
And another thing—Semper is live. So we are hopping onto it.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 18. “They Planned to Drug You with Sleeping Pills at a Braai”
DR: So what do I need to change? Bookings you’ve done? Mine is fine?
MB: Yours is fine. The only ones they have of you is the 050448. So wherever you’ve used that password—change. Including your phone’s keypad.
That was the whole plan with Clement.
Because they knew they couldn’t get a hold of your phone or your laptop.
MB: The first plan was that when Andre’s girlfriend gets here that weekend, they’ll casually have a braai—and put sleeping tablets in your wine. To take you out for a couple of hours. And then to obtain access to your laptop to see where you're moving the millions to.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 19. “My Mum Said: Don’t Do It. If He Dies, You’re Sitting with the Body.”
DR: You’re not moving the millions, are—
MB: No, no.
But then I said to my… I called my mum. Because they asked, “How much must we put in the sleeping?”
So my mum said to me, “You don’t play with that. Don’t get involved. Get yourself out of there.”
MB: I said, “The police people are the ones who do it.”
And she said, “Don’t do it. Because if you overdose—or if your body reacts negatively—you could die.
And then we’d be fucking sitting with the body.”
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 20. “Get Rid of Clement. That’s How They’ll Access the Cloud.”
MB: So then I called them back—and that, I have on a recording.
And I said to them, “Listen, my mum says rather not. I’m not going to get involved.”
MB: So then Andre said, okay, he’ll take care of it.
They couldn’t put it in the wine—because the wine had a cork and the bottle was unopened.
MB: So then what they wanted to do—or rather, what came to mind—was a loophole in this whole thing they could use:
Clement.
Get rid of Clement. He’s got one of your devices. It syncs. It’s all on one cloud.
Get rid of Clement. Get the phone. Access Halifax, Alice, Alice, da da da.
MB: That was their plan.
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 21. “They Were Planning to Hit the House With SWAT—While You Were Alone”
MB: They played me like a puppet, bro.
Remember that weekend—when Andre left, and then on Sunday, I left and came back?
That was when they were planning for me to go to my auntie and uncle for the weekend, and for Andre to be off duty.
MB: That’s when they were planning to come in here with de Swart or SWAT—because you would have been here alone. With only Clement and Dinekie.
DR: That was when I secured the garage doors, ‘cause I thought something was up.
MB: Yes, yes. And then I came back late that night, because I couldn’t get out of the city.
DR: You came back and there was load shedding.
MB: Yes. So I couldn’t get in the yard. That’s why. Because they were planning on coming in with de Swart that night.

⬛ 22. “Andre Was Told to Leave—So They Could Move In on You”
DR: Why didn’t they?
MB: Because I came back.
I said I couldn’t get out of the city—I lied.
I was scared something was going to happen. I knew Andre was also gone.
DR: On purpose?
MB: Yes. No—by instruction.
He didn’t know why, but he was also asked not to be here.
Both of us were asked not to be here.
MB: And then, funny enough—oh, I have the WhatsApps of Andre.
DR: Because they were so packed—like a taxi booked and then you turned up.
MB: I have WhatsApps from Andre saying to me, “Why are you still there? You must go. You better go. Let me know when you’ve left.”
MARIO BOFFA, JOHAN SCHALKWYK, DENIS DALTON & ANDRE DU RAND: FRAUD, THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 23. “I Took Sleeping Tablets. Said ‘F*** Everyone.’ And Stayed.”
MB: Then I took two sleeping tablets and thought, fuck everyone, and I went to sleep.And then I woke up at like 10 o’clock or 11 o’clock that night when Clement came into the room.Then I called Andre back.He said, “Oh, you’re still there?”I said, “Listen, I haven’t left. I was sleeping.”And that’s it. I said, “I’m not going to my uncle and aunt.”And so that plan of theirs fell flat.DR: Jesus, can you imagine?MB: Yeah.The fucking snake was in your bed, bro.DR: In the bed—in a bank account.MB: Yeah, yeah.
THE CONFESSIONS OF MARIO BOFFA: EMBEZZLEMENT, FRAUD, THEFT, CONSORTIUM CRIMINALITY, TORTURE & MURDER
⬛ 24. “They Said: Reach a Million or Be Prosecuted as an Accomplice”
MB: If you look at the dates on those payments—every single cent that has come into this business for the past two weeks has gone straight to them. Look at the dates.
DR: Yeah, I saw.
MB: Every single day. They told me, “You need to have a million rand after two weeks—then it’s exit day.
Otherwise, you’ll be seen as an associate and a partner, and you’ll get prosecuted. But we’ll make sure your name is fine—we have an agreement with de Swart…”
MB: That’s why on this email—I’ll read it to you now—I placed this on record. You’ve got a copy. Andre’s got a copy. I think I’m going to send a copy to an attorney as well.
DR: I have to agree with them. It probably makes sense if you send it directly.
MB: Okay. I would like to send this to protect myself.
I’ll put my money in a trust fund.
We need to pay for—
DR: Do you have any money?
MB: Yes. We have lots of money still.
DR: Because Louis—and bearing in mind this is getting more complicated—Louis and Abrams are going to ask for some kind of retainer.

⬛ 25. “They’ve Been Blackmailing, Drugging, Stealing—All of It”
DR: Separate from that—they’ve been busy blackmailing, stealing money…
MB: Yeah.
DR: …plotting to—
MB: Ja.
DR: —subdue me with tranquillisers, steal my phone, actually physically steal money from there.

⬛ 26. “They Were Searching for a Suitcase of Diamonds and Cash”
MB: They were looking for a suitcase in this house.
I was really like, what the fuck?
They’re looking for a suitcase in this house that you don’t know the combination to—
—with black diamonds and money in, bra.
I said, “Where the fuck would you hide that in that house? There’s guests everywhere, staff moving in and out. I don’t—I don’t know.”
DR: Maybe they believe this will pull—[inaudible]—told them that to motivate—
MB: No. Andre said you said it to him one night when you were fucked.
DR: No.
MB: And then he wanted to show me the—“Ohh, show them the WhatsApp”—and then he couldn’t find the WhatsApp.

⬛ 27. “Andre Swore There Was a Bag of Money and Diamonds Here”
DR: What? Why would I tell him there was—
MB: I don’t know.
DR: Secret stash of diamonds?
MB: And I thought, OK, well maybe you would have, because sometimes, you know, we get a bit out of—like, it’s out of consciousness.
But I don’t know.
Andre swore to them there’s a bag of money and diamonds in this house.
MB: But anyways—so…

⬛ 28. “I’m Laying Low for a Few Days. Let Me Change the CCTV Code.”
DR: Can we go and look for it?
MB: Well, I’d love to. But OK—so that is it. That’s set aside.
What I’m going to do is lay low for a couple of days, if I may.
DR: Make sure nobody knows—[inaudible]
MB: Even Clement, to them—can we—I’ll quickly go down and change the code.
And then I’ll make sure that the CCTV—

⬛ 29. “They Knew the Plan Was to Strip the Place—So Why Spend on It?”
MB: So that’s why.
That’s why he never did anything—because it was already determined that it was going to take money away for something that would have no use when they finished their plan.
So they’d rather take the money. That’s why.
And on that same note, with the pool people—I’ve already signed the agreement with them as well.
It’s being serviced once a week. It’s R1200 a month. I must just do one payment to him tonight.
And I’ve also ordered a new creepy crawly.

DR: And they’re going to make the Infinity—Infinity?
MB: Infinity.
The fountain will be working on Monday.
The filter and the thing—they’re going to take out all the sand and put new sand, because it’s a salt pool.
And then they’ll put the bag.

⬛ 31. “They Made Me Swear Not to Give You Any Logins”
DR: It’s like I said—I was on the Saturday at the conversation and I said, “Ohh, look—I’ve sent in these messages Tuesday” and I couldn’t—
MB: I couldn’t. I couldn’t.
They made me swear not to give any logins to you.
I had to read that WhatsApp thing—I said, “Darren just asking for the AirBnB password. What must I do?”
His mother’s p**s.
No, no—that’s what they responded.

DR: It cost us so much money.
MB: I’ve tried to, but I couldn’t.
DR: No—you’ve done nothing wrong, but they cost us so much money.
MB: Andre even had access. All the email accounts were not working anymore. Dennis and them—the IT guy—took control of CPT, Luxury Villas, all of the email addresses, and they forwarded everything to one central email address where they receive all the emails.
DR: Wow.
MB: So we have to change everything.

⬛ 33. “They Wanted You Cut Off—So You Wouldn’t See the Money Flow”
MB: No, they didn’t.
And even more—they completely wanted to cut you off of it because you would notice that.
DR: Then I would realise that too much money is going out.
MB: Yes. Ja.
DR: Because I kept thinking—you would say, “Ohh, I just wired them another 16.”
I was thinking—we need to pay the utilities.
MB: No, no. Because I could— They literally directed all payments strictly to them.
And then I said to them at some point, “Listen guys, I have to stop paying you now.
I have to stop putting money for salaries—the million for Raggy.”
And they don’t care. They fucking don’t care. The only thing is—all monies.

⬛ 34. “They Promised to Pay It Into Trust—25 Witnesses Against You”
MB: And then he even promised me—to pay in all the additional money that was found in your phone or any online wallet or whatever—
to pay everything into their trust account.
And they will give it back to the guests who have lost money or been defrauded.
They’ve got a list of 25.
They apparently have 25 witnesses willing to testify against you.
You remember the day we had the thing in the room?

⬛ 35. “If There’s a List—Why Won’t She Let Me See It?”
DR: There’s people from back in December.
MB: Yeah, but that’s related to Chandra and that.
DR: No, no, no—but this is my point. If there is a list of people— All Paula needs to do is give it to me. I will look at the cases. If it’s genuine—they get the money. But she’s not. She doesn’t want me to pay them.
MB: Yeah.
DR: Because then she can make up it’s fraud.
MB: Yeah.

⬛ 36. “It’s True—But It’s Not All Your Fault”
MB: But the thing is—besides that Darren—we know there are [real cases].
But here’s some of it will be because you were in prison—you couldn’t let them in.
Secondly—some of it was because of Keith’s kak. So yes—it’s true, but it is not all your fault.
DR: What was it? Like the end of December? There was at least half a dozen cases where we wanted to give people back money.
But that’s when he started his—
MB: Yeah.
DR: So you can want to do something—but if you can’t— In March, when we started making profits again—and now we can start doing that—
they take us down.

⬛ 37. “They Were Doing Fuck All—For Me or Paula”
MB: Yeah, we can only authorise ours or we can change it again and I'll just regenerate another QR code. OK, cool. So slow system check-up. OK, but it’s fucking insane what they’ve gotten up to this past—
They were doing fuck all for you. Nothing.
DR: It is quite the opposite. They were doing fuck a lot, but against me, against me. And for Paula
MB: Haven’t you realised when they came in for meetings, I would always dodge them?
I always. And even on Friday, when they started to talk—I couldn’t sit there and listen to that kak anymore. I couldn’t.
Yeah, because what they’re telling you and what they’re actually doing is fucking two—they’re all plotting against you.

⬛ 38. “They’re Just Causing Panic to Regain Trust”
DR: Because when he’s like, “Ohh, we’re gonna moer you.” Now we move on to trucks.
MB: That’s kak. That’s all a bunch of kak to cause panic. And then now when they cause panic—I freak out—and then they can be the mediator again and gain back trust. So in case we lose trust in them—there’s…

And I was like, “Ohh, give you the photocopies.”
No, we want the diary.
Yeah.

⬛ 41. “Confessing to Embezzling R1.2 Million and the Plan to Drug, Torture, and Murder Me”
MB: You don’t have a cent left.
DR: Yeah, but... yeah, but... Yeah, but that was... They're on... They're kind of engineering...
MB: Engineering arrest and he's like getting all spiked up. I can't wait until he's in prison.
Crying like a baby with no money.
DR: But at the same time... I'll be dead because they're planning to... murder me or... And torture me, you know, if they were going to torture me, they wouldn't have left me alive afterwards, because you torture somebody. I mean, you'd go to the police.
MB: They wanted to torture you that one day when we came into the room. And that's when I went to his girlfriend and said, please talk to him, please talk to him. Yeah, because he was looking at me, my evil eyes.
Yeah, well, he's fucking evil. I mean, someone who can look at you in that way. Yes, all of us have a dark side. Let's call a spade a spade. But the way they do it. Everyone has been, or someone like has been, two-faced.
But the way they do it—they put the smile on their face.
DR: And then they'll find justification for it. Even on the messages, they're going on about using the dumbbells to smash me over the skull with five kilos or something.
MB: And I said, if at some point, no fuck, you'll kill him or something. And then Johan said, “Yah, that’s good, moer him.”
DR: With the dumbbells.
MB: Once everything is up and running, hopefully in the next two weeks. And I'll translate the whole thing for you. Let's go make coffee. I missed my flight, you know that. And I fucking paid 4,000 yen for it.
DR: Then you're a moron. No.I'm not being funny. My own opinion to one side. Leave here by all means, but when this is sorted.
MB: No, I will be fine.
DR: How will you be fine?
MB: I will leave the country. And go to Zanzibar.
DR: Oh, gee, thank you very much. Huh? Thank you. So you leave me as the sole target.
MB: No, but I can't stay here forever.
