South Africa - Part 8 - Sins of the Fathers

Sins of the Fathers – Part VIII –

And the Dangerous Cottage Industries in relation to Intelligence

This issue follows on the heels of the issues relating to the De Klerk regime and the siphoning off the riches of the RSA as well as the role of various criminals.

It was reported on 12 June 2014 that retired Judge Johan Kriegler had issued a statement that the National

Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of South Africa was an incompetent and corrupt ridden entity. Corruption within the ranks of the NPA had not been addressed. The NPA is seen as an institution that is more hell bent on covering for criminals than prosecuting them.

In order to comprehend the gravity of the situation, we will first have regard to various aspects and the overriding tsunami corruption that is engulfing South Africa today.

During May 2014 a certain Brigadier General Mankayi on a visit to Oudtshoorn where the SA Infantry School is located, instructed the Infantry School. To send 2 Ratel Infantry Fighting Vehicles with 90 mm guns and loaded along with some 120 troops in full combat gear; in order to free some 30 Military personnel who had been arrested for drinking at a shebeen. The Police released these military personnel in order to avert a bloodbath. The Police whilst being armed themselves were outgunned due to the Ratels with their 90 mm guns.

The Chief of the SANDF (Defense Force), Genl Shoke, expressed shock at this development. However,

nothing has been done to Brig Genl Mankayi about this issue. Will action be taken against him? It does not seem so. Democracy is indeed under threat if the authorities take no action in this regard. Why does the Military threaten civil society? Is this a pre-cursor of things to come?

The SANDF is indeed a problem for the South African government ; Defense Intelligence which is a part of the SANDF actually sent a letter to all the Defense Attaches (DA) attached to foreign embassies in the RSA , stating that no DA’s could travel outside of Gauteng without prior approval from DI. This to DA’s who had been accredited by the South African government to foreign embassies in the RSA. The relationship between the SANDF and their foreign counterparts are turning into a major embarrassment for the South African government who seems to be unable to do anything about this situation.

The allegations are that Genl Shoke’s brother is the one who was involved with a company called “Impi Trucks.” This is the same company who over a long period had contracts to repair and service military vehicles. The military units, who benefited from this company’s sub-standard service, had been complaining vociferously for a long period, without anything being done to alleviate this situation.

Defense Intelligence, who now suddenly wants to flex muscles in places where it should not belong, is silent as to what’s taking place. Why?

The SSA (State Security Agency) and DI seems to be failing the country. A certain information peddler by the name of George Darmanovitch, on his own version, had been feeding a certain Brig Genl Modise at DI information of a decidedly dubious nature. Genl Modise and his side – kick, a certain Col Ngobeni have been instrumental in creating problems for people and then asking whether they can resolve such in return for certain benefits. Darmanovitch would be interacting with them In order to extract such benefits – irregular and illegal. Darmanovitch has also been, again on his very own contention, involved as the owner of a company called IRS, which is being run by a certain Chad Thomas. Thomas claims to be a fraud buster and he has even a talk show in this regard on a radio station for the Jewish community. Thomas’ claim to fame is that he was a military policeman who had been involved in various investigations pertaining to fraud.

Thomas’s email address is chad@presidency.com . What Presidency? Darmanovitch speaks with great

authority about access to President Zuma. He also interfaces with the SSA. Not only this but he one is of the creators of the Boeremag issue. It must be pointed out that the issue of the Boeremag has grown into a deadly cottage industry whereby if you are white, irrespective of your credentials, if they taint you as Boeremag, the government basically has a heart attack. (Heart attack is used as a polite version). Millions are wasted by the government on these people’s machinations – in the APEX  issue , some 60% of the RSA’s coal reserves were moved off – shore for a pittance.

The fact of the matter is that the Intelligence Services of the RSA is sub standard and that the operatives are creating situations in order to substantiate their massive salaries. This is a classical example of the tail wagging the dog. The so called agents are paid vast sums of money that seems to be shared with their handlers. However, it is not only Darmanovitch and Thomas that plays such deadly games.

The Intelligence operatives of the RSA had failed dismally in their duties in the Central African Republic (CAR) that led to the unnecessary deaths of some 15 South African soldiers. Yet, nobody has been brought to book in this regard. Charges for criminal negligence should have been brought long ago against the Head of the SANDF and the Management at DI, such as Brig Genl Modise. However, this has not happened.

Why?

There is no doubt that the RSA is being targeted for serious economic sabotage. These people are all part and parcel thereof. Their modus operandi is to conceal the evidence of such acts of terrorism as well as the identity of the perpetrators thereof. In this regard, they form a part of organized crime and they are duly supported by legal firms whence their primary market is being serviced by their legitimate output and the criminal market is their secondary market. These organized criminals and terrorists target the legitimate market in order to improve their own standing and claiming legitimacy in respect of their dealings.   

Cecil John Rhodes, the Englishman who played such an important role in the history of South Africa, whether he acted as a gentleman or a scoundrel, he did play a massive role in this history. He had made it an important part of his strategy to accommodate the Afrikaners. Specifically he built up good relations with Jan Hofmeyer, a camp fighter for the rights of the Afrikaner. However, the part of the history that has never seen the light of day has never enlightened the public as to the role of the Freemasons in the economic sphere, until today. The Military and the SAPS had been known as to be traditional strongholds for the freemasons in South Africa. The Afrikaans version became known as the “bokryers,” goat riders. There is also a distinct difference between the Freemasons from England and the bokryers in South Africa.

Whilst the Afrikaners organized themselves into the Broederbond, they were in effect nothing else than a secret division of the English Freemasons, until today. There are historical reasons thereto, for better or for worse, they played a very strong although hidden hand in the economic development of South Africa. It has been recorded that after the Peace of Vereeniging in 1902 which led to the end of the war between England and the Boer Republics and brought the Union of South Africa into being in 1910 , that Rhodes was scouring the Free State on horseback in order to obtain mining rights. In this regard, he was accompanied by various Afrikaners, including Paul Sauer, a later Minister in the National Party Government.

However, the South African military has a long history and has participated in many conflicts until today. However, the wheels of this once mighty and proud military machine have started to come off.

F W De Klerk had singlehandedly destroyed the Intelligence capabilities of the South African Defense

Force. It was clearly not done in order to assist the ANC government, but it would appear that it was solely done to ensure that whatever illegal transactions in the future would arise would be hidden, typical of the sabotage of a country’s economy. De Klerk fired all loyal officers to that his collaborators could move freely. On December 19, 1992, FW de Klerk fired 23 senior army officers, including navy officers, who could pose a threat to his plans. So great was the speed with which De Klerk acted that even the army’s public relations office was not informed of the press conference. In addition, many of the officers disciplined, were on holiday and were unaware of their suspension. The axed officers included Major-General Chris Thirion, Deputy Chief of Staff Intelligence, who had a reputation of being one of the more progressive of the younger generation of generals. Major-General Hennie Roux, Chief of Army Intelligence, Brigadier Ferdie Van Wyk, Director of Army Communications, who master-minded Project Echoes, Brigadier Tolletjies Botha, Director – Directorate of Covert Collection, which was raided in November by investigators of the Goldstone Commission, including UN personnel, Brigadier Oos van der Merwe, Director of Army Intelligence, Commander Jack Widdowson of the Navy. He named only three other officers, Colonel At Nel, Colonel Chris Prinsloo and Commandant Stephen Snyders, who were all put on compulsory leave.

This followed the purge of 19 police generals in August as part of a drive to bring the police in line with the negotiation process. The further Indemnity Act pushed through Parliament in August, needed to help ease officers out. The November raid on Military Intelligence’s Directorate of Covert Collection in November, by Goldstone investigators. A top-level meeting between senior Umkhonto We Sizwe and SADF officials in early August took place, brokered by the National Intelligence Service, which generally carries out the will of the cabinet. December’s ‘rationalization’ measures that include the retrenchment of 6000 middle ranking officers followed. In just 5 months, De Klerk had opened the door wide, for his own operators to continue the sell-out. “I have never before seen a government destroy its own power base, such as this one is doing” – said former chief of Military Intelligence, Gen. Tienie Groenewald, while the country is steadily moving towards complete chaos, the government has effectively neutralized the SADF’s intelligence capacities by removing the eyes, ears and nose of the defense forces.

Whilst the majority of people read this situation as being of a political nature, they fail to comprehend that the

reality is that this opened the doors for unfettered and illegal economic activities to the detriment of the country, which is still being conducted even until today.

This has further opened the doors for people such as George Darmanovitch and Chad Thomas to run their very own pseudo intelligence operations whilst being sponsored by the State’s own Intelligence apparatus. These are the same people who have been linked to the criminal boss, Radovan Krejcir. In order to prove their effectiveness, they have latched onto the so-called rightwing activities. The right wing has always been there.

The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) (Afrikaner Resistance Movement) was a creation of the then National Party. They were flown around the country by the South African Air Force. The relationship between the different parties became heavily strained. These information peddlers saw the opportunity to garner a fat income whilst creating a phantom menace against the State. The fact that there are at all times in any given society some crazies present is a fact. However, the attention and costs thrown towards this phantom menace has till today not been quantified. They also use this mechanism to taint people, especially if it is a business that could produce great profits. This is a whole network throughout the South African civil service. The question therefore is as to what extent have these information peddlers supplied access to a crime boss such as Radovan Krejcir? Two Policemen who had been arrested in the Krejcir matter was seen arriving at court driving Porsche Cayennes! Yet, nobody seems to find this very odd!  

Darmanovitch and Thomas plays a very significant role in these operations. Their modus operandi is to They have neglected to report on the underhand dealings at Impi Trucks, so exposed in the newspapers for their sub standard work for the SANDF.

mislead the parties who are finding themselves at the wrong end of these criminals. They claim that they can intervene in order to ensure that the correct version of events is put before the authorities. However, the people with whom they liaise are such as Brig Genl Modise at DI, his junior Col Ngobeni, basically criminals, but they purport to have the President’s ear and disseminate false information. They along with their bosses should have been charged long ago with culpable homicide in respect of the death of the 15 SA soldiers in the Central African Republic.

They have neglected to query and investigate the dealings into the procurement of the SANDF of a sub standard Armored Personnel Carrier in Project Hoefyster. This is a project whereby DENEL, the State owned armaments company, is to supply the SANDF with a new generation armored vehicle. The vehicle is sourced from Patria in Finland and fitted with a turret by one of the DENEL subsidiaries. The price for this vehicle is bandied around as being R 43 million up to R 265 million each. Irrespective of the fact, it would appear as if the SANDF is going to be severely overcharged for a vehicle with serious shortcomings for the theatre of war in which it is supposed to operate. With a high profile vehicle, it can be easily seen in the African bush and therefore becomes a juicy target, plus the fact that armor piercing ammunition will rip through its hull with extreme ease leading to more deaths and the soldiers inside finding themselves in a veritable coffin of wheels, can only be described as a catastrophe.

However, all the fingers are pointing to the Commanding Officer (CO) of the SANDF as having his fingers in they are all known as Siphiwe Nyanda’s boys. A previous commander of the SANDF and a man who still has to answer iro his R 12 million house on the Natal North Coast. This is the same man who is apparently providing cover to the most incompetent CO at SA Special Forces. For 3 years, the SA Special Forces were exempt of providing audited statements to the Auditor General. Everything is being dealt with by ways of a black budget. No control over the moneys.

the pie. The same allegations have been raised iro Impi Trucks as to his brother being involved. The fact of the matter is the story goes like this –

The SANDF had lost again a large amount of equipment including APC’s when a patrol was ambushed in Darfur and they surrendered all their equipment. If rebels need equipment, they just need to rob them from the South Africans – an act of utter instability performed by the South African military.

The Intelligence Services in the RSA , The SA Special Forces along with the Judiciary , all seem to be highly corrupt and hell bent on driving the country to a civil war , literally ! Who will benefit?

A typical situation is that the NPA will falsify documents and warrants of search and seizure by the corrupt justice system. They will steal the moneys from their intended targets; in this regard, they will illegally withhold payments due to the targets. Armscor, the procurement state company for the military, will steal contracts and contacts. Whilst they have been implicated in the Eli Wazan affair in the 1990’s, the fall of the Helderberg in 1987, the dubious Arms Deal that is being investigated by the utterly unconvincing Sereti Commission, and many more – nothing is being done to these corrupt bastards.

They represent the State and therefore the State must then be corrupt.

They have no loyalty to anybody, except themselves. They only tolerate politicians for so long as the politicians dance to their tune. Any company’s confidential information is released by the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) to these people. Military officers then try and do transactions with these companies’ contacts. Countries such as Israel , the USA , the UK , Bulgaria , China , Germany, Norway , Switzerland  and many more , whilst clamping down on corruption in their own countries would now seem to be feeding and assisting corruption in South Africa. Perhaps charges against these countries must be lodged with the Wassenaar Arrangement, the UN’s effort in trying to control the proliferation of small arms.

The questions is this, when is this going to become a threat to the government? Is it not already a threat to the government? Whilst President Zuma believes in loyalty, these people whilst paying lip service might just be setting him as President up for a fall!

So let it be written, so let it be heard.

More to come………………………………….
