The South African
Police Service “Crime Intelligence”
The South
African Police Services (SAPS) has a division called Crime Intelligence
(CI). This unit has been most often in the news and for all the wrong
reasons. In the matter of a Czech fugitive, Radowan Krecjir, officials
from this unit have been pointed out as living comfortably off his largesse.
The Commander of the unit in the East Rand admitted that he had benefited from
a so called loan for R400,000 from one of Krecjir’s companies. Two
junior ranks under Steyn benefited from the same largess, policemen driving
around in Porsches. Even Miami Vice, the TV series is no patch for the realities
of what is happening in the RSA.
THE SOUTH
AFRICAN POLICE IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE BIGGEST STATE SPONSORED CRIMINAL
SINDICATE IN AFRICA.
The CI, along
with the various Intelligence Services, called the State Security Agency
(SSA) and Defense Intelligence (DI) are intercepting phone calls,
internet communications and doing so without court orders. Snowden would
be astounded as to what has been transpiring in the RSA. Raids are lodged on
businesses and farms in order to effectively steal the business and farm from
its rightful owners. Situations are created, and slander is circulated as
gospel in order to tarnish the reputation of civilians whose businesses are of
interest to these people. Nothing stands in isolation – if this is what is
happening to citizens of South Africa, one could imagine as to what is
happening to Embassies and foreign representatives communications. Is the
express train to self destruction traveling to fast?
CI has
tentacles spreading throughout the South African security community. In this
regard, Johan Erasmus from a company called New Generation Arms
Management (NGAM), which holds the South African agency for the Dillon
Mini-gun which fires 3,000 rounds a minute was targeted by them.
Erasmus had been targeted as a so called Boeremag by the South
African Special Forces (SASF) due to his no nonsense approach when they
tried to steal the contracts and representation from this company. Erasmus was
approached at different times by a George Darmanovitch who tried to
persuade Erasmus into illegal actions in order to compromise him. Actions such
as trying to bribe officials in order to keep all the fabrications from inter
alia Vanessa Du Toit from the National Conventional Arms Control
Committee (NCACC) disappear.
According to
Erasmus, this is not the way that things are to be done and he declined. He
also holds the view that he is guilty only of performing and delivering on an Armscor
contract (the state owned procurement agency for the defense force). Armscor
had been pointed out at various instances as being a hotbed of unbridled
corruption, even since the days from before 1994 when the ANC came into
power. It was clearly an attempt at compromising Erasmus as they had nothing on
him.
In this regard,
NGAM’s business premises and its directors’ homes were raided on
December 4, 2012 based on false affidavits by Vanessa Du Toit.
All their computers were carted off with volumes of documentation. Nothing
has been returned until today; although it has been noticed that their
business information had been disseminated to their competitors as well as the
state owned companies.
Even different
court attempts by NGAM came to naught as it would appear that the
judges in most cases were influenced, especially the Afrikaans speaking;
white, male judges. Erasmus was warned that the judges would not help him
due to his pointing these aspects out. His views are simple since when does he
needs the help of judges, all they have to do is to commit to their duties.
It is not about helping, it is all about performing one’s duties. Stop the
express train and avoid self destruction.
Erasmus is
targeted without a doubt, simply for not allowing criminals under the guise of
the state to steal from him and his black partners. This story does not end
here.
It is clear
that this is not an isolated case. Economic terrorism by the is being
waged by these people from CI, SASF and NPA against the
government of the day. They thrive on blackmailing senior officials who have
committed one or other indiscretion. They excel in slandering people whom they
have targeted. They are misleading the government. It is the same people who
are laying ambush after ambush for President Zuma to stumble into. Which
of course he so dutifully does. This has been going on to such an extent that
President Zuma is seen as a liability for the ANC in the upcoming general
election.
When a network
as devious as the one operating in South Africa pervades any society, it is
clear that such a society is on an express train toward destruction, alas the
days when Rome burnt.
