extradition agreements with most countries in the English speaking
world and most countries are prepared to extradite accused persons
to South Africa even where no extradition agreements exist.

‘The charges against me:
| will plead not guilty to all counts and alternatives in the charge sheet.
I want to make the following submissions with regard to the counts
relating to the unlawful interception of communication and its
alternatives.
I note with concem that | have been charged with various murders,
attempted murder as well as conspiracy to commit murder charges.
From my understanding; the only fact that might link me to these
charges/allegations is that | allegedly pinged the cellphones of
various individuals as per a record of pings provided to my legal
representative.
| did ping cellular phone numbers in execution of my business, being
a debt collector and repossessing agent for various clients, including
financial institutions.
| did have the tools to ping a cellphone to confirm the proximity of the
phone. This is not very accurate as the tracing is done via cellphone
towers. Locating a cellular phone based on a single cell tower can
place the mobile phone in a broad area, but it cannot pinpoint it. As
the phone connects to more towers, the accuracy improves.
| did cellphone pinging via a platform with the aid of a code. The
software and user code for this tool was obtained from Bradley
Goldblatt “Goldblatt” He is well known and have already supplied a
affidavit to the investigation team.477,
17.8.
17.9.
17.10.
17.11
| believe that this platform and user code provided to me by Goldblatt
was also provided to other users, using the same platforms and code
provided to me. Note Annexure ZK11 a document drawn from my
profile with user “brad1234”. User names and passwords were used
between users. Note Annexure ZK12 the username of another
pinger on the same platform.
Note the newspaper article alleging that Goldblatt sold pings to
various Cape Underworld characters dated 05/11/2020 as Annexure
2K13-15.
The pings conducted on this platform and details in possession of the
state does not only include the pings that | activated, but also pings
done by other individuals unknown to me. | understand that the state
obtained an affidavit from Goldblatt and that he will testify at trial. |
submit at this stage that his evidence is tainted and will in my opinion
not stand judicial scrutiny, including evidence obtained from his
platform,
I found that pings bought from Goldblatt, disappeared from my
account and that the disappearing pings were used by other
individuals, Therefore the record of the pings cannot link me to all
instances where individuals were pinged. | submit that the state will
not be able to able to produce a record of the specific pings that | did.
Furthermore it is unlikely that the state can proof the the location of
the person that did the pings with regard to the record of pings in the
case docket.
Note the article with regard to the Mihalik murder attached as
Annexure ZK16-17. It is noted from the article that South African
Police Services members used pinging technology to apprehend the
suspect in this matter. | understand now that pinging is a criminal
offence,17.12.

Further to my argument that ! was not the only pinger on the platform
of Goldblatt is the fact that my arresting officer Wynand Olivier also
also bought pings from Goldblatt. Note Annexure ZK18-19 for a list
of people that received pings on the platform.
The record also contain negative pings. Negative pings refer to
those instances where a cellular handset could not be traced to a
celiphone tower.
To this day Netstar still requests me to do work for them see
Annexure ZK20.
My relationship with Nafiz Modack
| learned of Nafiz Modack “Accused 1" through Gerhard Strydom
“Strydom” another debt collector who contacted me and informed me
that Accused 1 heard of my success as a debt collector and that he,
Accused 1 wanted to make use of my services.
| informed Strydom that Accused 1 can contact me. This was during
January/February 2020. Accused 1 called me from a private number
and introduced himself to me. He explained that he receives a lot of
debt collecting work in the Johannesburg area and therefore needed
my services.
I did debt collecting work for Accused 4 as well as ‘pings’ on his
request to trace people for various reasons explained below.
| confirm that | did receive money from various clients for services
rendered. In some instances outstanding debts were paid into my
bank account. | would then calculate the fee, take my portion and pay
the rest over to the client or other party as per the agreement. I deny
that | committed money laundering in my business relationship with
Accused 4 or any other individual
I have no other connection to Accused 1; other than the fact that he
was a client of my firm and that | pinged cellular numbers on his18.5.

request for compensation in terms of a business relationship. | do
appear in some photographs with Accused 1. This was taken in a
lighter moment.
| used various reference numbers to save the information of people
that | had to ping more than once on the request of Accused 1. | also
drew a XDS trace reports in some instances to identify individuals.
I saved numbers with names such as Donk (Donkie), Boots (William
Booth “Booth"), Horse (Van der Horst), KK (Chari Kinnear “Kinnear’)
and Link (Lincoln)
iam Booth:
All pings on Booth was on the request of Accused 1. Accused 1 told
me that Booth was an attomey who owed money to a client. There
was nothing strange with the explanation
Many of Booth's ping results were not successful and | informed
Accused 1 that it could be because Booth's wifi network or his
location settings on his phone was disabled. | would in any event
forward the negative ping results to Accused 1.
| was not aware that an assassination of Booth was planned. | do
not know any of the co-accused in the Booth matter.
I have never previously met or spoken to Jacques Cronje or Sameer
Vallie. | was requested to ping a number which now turned out to be
that of Sameer Vallie.
Without access to the data on my cell phones | am unable to say
from whom | received the request to ping Mr. Vallie, but can only
assume that the request came from Accused 1

“Kinnear”. | did a full search on Kinnear on the same day. It was
ally asked me to gather information on a Charl Kinnear
normal modus operandi to obtain information whether | did a debt
collection or vehicle repo for any client.
The pings conducted on the Goldblatt platform and details in
possession of the state does not only include the pings that |
activated, but also pings done by other individuals unknown to me as
explained above. This became clear in some instances when | was
asked to ping certain individuals for Accused 1. Note Annexure
ZK21 a WhatsApp message between myself and Accused 1
Although | pinged Kinnear, Accused 1 was well aware of his location.
Note Annexure ZK22-24 an News24 article in which a Brophy admit
that he had pinged Kinnear. Also note that a Franscois Nel pinged
Kinnear. Annexure ZK25-26.
Note the statement of Edward du Plessis Annexure ZK27-32 page 2
paragraph 10 that states Calvin Rafadi also pinged for Accused 1. 1
was not aware that anyone else pinged for Accused 1
In some instances | did not even know who | pinged. Note Annexure
ZK33 a WhaisApp message which states “So / was really under the
impression | was tracking a female’.
Accused 1 informed me that Kinnear was a corrupt policeman to
whom he has paid money in the past and that Kinnear and Jerome
Donkie Boysen “Booysen” worked together; and that there were a
“hit” on him, Accused 1. | am aware that Booysen is allegedly the
boss of the Sexy Boys gang according to news paper articles.
Accused 1 gave me various cellular numbers to ping and to check if
these numbers were in the same vicinity/location. Accused 1 further
informed me that the people to whom these cell numbers belong to,
i21.4,

want to kill him, and he needed to know where they were so that he
knew which area to avoid.
Accused 1 sent me a photo of a piece of paper with names that was
an apparent “hit list’. Accused 1 also sent me videos where gates
were forced open, dogs were shot and people assaulted. | was led to
believe by Accused 1 that it was his gates, dogs and staff in the
videos.
| earned that Accused 1 did security at night clubs and therefore | did
not find it suspicious when | was asked to ping Kinnear in the early
morning hours.
I was requested by Accused 1 to ping Kinnear and Booysens
cellphone numbers at the same time to see if the two of them were in
the same vicinitylocation. On several occasions the ping results
showed that Kinnear and Booyser’s cellphone numbers were in the
same vicinityllocation and this gave the credence to Accused 1
believing his story that they were working together and were planning
to kill him.
At that stage it became clear that there was an issue between
Kinnear, Accused 1 and Booysen
On one occasion that | pinged Kinnear and Booysen’s cellphone
numbers, on Accused 1's instructions, the result reflected that they
were in the same vicinity/location in Johannesburg.
On further pinging of Kinnear's cellphone number, the results showed
that he was in Brakpan, where my son's school was situated,
Therefore | pinged Kinnear again and the results reflected that
Kinnear was in Springs, close to where my daughter's school was
situated. Further pinging reflected that Kinnear was in Nigel vici
where my ex-wife resides.
This caused me to be concerned for the the safety and that of my
family. | then contacted Accused 1 and asked him why Kinnear and

Booysen were in my area. Accused 1 said that he will find out and
get back to me.
Within minutes Accused 1 called me back and said thet | should not
worry, and that Kinnear was there for a fire-arm investigation
regarding corrupt policemen
After my arrest and whilst | was in prison | was informed by a fellow
inmate that Booysen was there to confront me on why I was pinging
his cellphone number. | was afraid for the safety of myself and that of
my family.
Accused 1 also informed me that he found out that Kinnear's car was,
up for repo at the bank, and that he wanted to humiliate Kinnear by
having his car repossessed. As this was not one of my car repo's |
did not ask for details of the car.
‘Accused 1 gave me the contact number for the Sheriff in Cape Town
that he had arranged to repossessed Kinnear’s oar. | saved this
number as “Pablo Sheriff", meaning it was the Sheriff arranged by
Accused 1 aka Pablo. For this purpose, Accused 1 requested me on
a daily basis to ping Kinnear’s cellphone number as he had a ground
team ready to assist the Sheriff to repossess the vehicle.
The ground team always had excuses for not finalizing the repo. It
was either raining to heavily or the Sheriff was not available, etc. |
got frustrated and irritated as the pinging request had a negative
impact my family life as | sometimes received requests from Accused
1 to ping Kinnear’s cellphone number in the early hours of the
morning.
leven suggested to Accused ‘ that he should pay my flight ticket and
fly me down to Cape Town so that | can repossess the car of Kinnear
myself.
On the day of the shooting of Kinnear, which | now know was 18
September 2020 Accused 1 asked me to ping Kinnear’s cellphone

number during the course of the day. The requests from Accused 1
stopped at about 15h25, which was the last ping of Kinnear's
cellphone number on that day.
I became aware, through the media of the time Kinnear was shot and
I-can state that | was in a pharmacy in Springs. Note a picture as
Annexure ZK34, | have also seen a video of the shooting and my
observations are that the shooter had no cellphone in his hand. It
would not be difficult for any person to obtain the address of Kinnear.
Shortly thereafter | received a voice note from Renier Van Der Vyver,
a close associate of Accused 1 saying that ‘Kinnear is dead,
Christmas came early’. | was shocked. Renier van der Vyver is a
close associate of Accused 1. Note birthday message as Annexure
ZK35 and a picture of Van der Vyver as Annexure ZK36
Shortly thereafter | received a phone call from a Ziyaad informing me
to get rid om my cell phones and if | do not want to co-operate, they
will come and fetch my call phones. | asked Ziyaad, what was wrong
and he said nothing serious.
| did not destroy my cellular phones but handed them over to the
South African Police Services two days later, 20 September 2021
when the HAWKS came to search my house.
It was at that stage that | contacted Accused 1 who told me to
contact attomey Eric Bryer. | had no previous dealings with Bryer but
knew that he was an attorney of Accused 1.
At about 21h30, if my memory serves correctly, | asked my wife to
call Mr. Bryer. | cannot recall if | spoke to Mr. Bryer that evening but
was informed to exercise my tight to remain silent. Note also

that | should not implicate Accused 1 in the pinging of Kinnear. | was
also in telephonic contact with Bryer who told me not to say anything.
Note Annexures ZK38 for communication between myself and Bryer.
Worth noting that Bryer instructs me to “Keep yourself me and boss
covered” Accused 1 at all relevant times paid my legal fees to Bryer.
Bryer told me that Accused 1 said that | must say that | pinged
Kinnear’s cellphone number on the request of a certain Mr.
Mohammed. That was the version that | provided to the South
African Police on advice of Bryer.
| have proof of this conversation in whatsapp with Mr. Bryer. On 24
September 2020 when | was confronted by Captain Joubert, | out of
fear for my life and that of my family and as instructed by Accused 1,
| told the police that | pinged Kinnear on the request of Mr.
Mohammed. This was a total lie.
Later | told the police in the presence of Advocate Rosemann that the
true identity of the person who requested me to ping Kinnear’s
cellphone number was Accused 1. I never referred to Accused 1 as
Mr X.
1 can recall that at some stage thereafter Bryer informed me via
whatsapp that if | implicate Accused 1 that he/Bryer, myself and my
family might as well pick out our coffins.
| was never aware that an attempt to assassinate Kinnear was
planned nor was | aware that | might be assisting in such an attempt.
At some stage | did ask Accused 1 what his problem was with
Kinnear and Accused 1 said that Kinnear was a “skelm’,
Issues within South African Police ic
What concerns me is that state witness Goldblatt par 8 of his affidavit
attached as Annexure ZK39-42 already informed the Anti-Gang Unit

“AGU" of the South African Police Services on 3 September 2020
that | was apparently pinging the cellphones of Kinnear among others.
From Goldblatts affidavit it appears that he had worked closely with
the police and regularly gave them updates. He further states that he
had already given my particulars to the AGU, the very same unit of
the Police that were investigating the cases that | have subsequently
been charged with. The conduct of the police is very suspicious.
Goldblatt also apparently realized that their system was used in a
gang war. If the interception of communication is an offence then the
SAPS could have arrested me on 3 September 2020 as they had
already had active cases for the attempted murder of Booth among
others.
| am aware of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate report
“IPID report” in that General Sithole gave instructions to the IPID to
investigate SAPS members for their conceivable failure to act and
prevent the murder of Kinnear during the period between 3
September 2020 to 18 September 2020. See Annexure ZK43-133
for the IPID report.
The report further highlights at page 18 paragraph 11.1 the so called
rogue unit in the Western Cape Crime Intelligence and the
allegations and suspicions that members of the rogue unit have been
cooperating with gang members.
On page 19 paragraph 14.1.1 the report went further that the DCPI in
Gauteng had failed to initiate an investigation into the illegal
monitoring of Kinnear’s phone.
In @ letter from Lincoln to Kinnear it is noted that he, Kinnear was
relieved of his duties at the AGU as result of pressure of his work
load. Annexure ZK134-135.

officer to face an intemal investigation centred on the murder of Anti-
Gang Unit (AGU) detective Chari Kinnear. The probe relates to what
Jacobs did, or failed to do, when police received waming of a threat
on Kinnear's life. The intelligence chief is now seized with a war on
meny fronts and is ostensibly on suspension while facing other
serious misconduct charges, these relating to the use of the CI slush
fund to buy Covid-19 PPE. Kinnear was gunned down on 18
September, two weeks after police received credible information that
his phone was being illegally tracked, with fears that the surveillance
was @ precursor to an attack. In an intemal police memorandum
obtained by News24, Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole notified
Jacobs that he was under investigation for “failing” to act on the
threat. News24 previously reported that two weeks before Kinnear’s
slaying, Hawks officials from the Crimes Against the State Unit had
moved immediately to confirm information - channeled to them from
an informant - that the decorated cop was being watched” Annexure

Further to my argument that | was not the only pinger on the platform
of Goldblatt is the fact that my arresting officer Wynand Olivier also
also bought pings from Goldblatt. Note Annexure 2K137 for a list of
people that received pings on the platform.
Goldblatt further alleges in paragraph 11 of his affidavit (Annexure
ZK39-42) that | contacted him on Sunday 20 September 2020 while
40 Hawks were at my house. During this search and seizure
operation the police were not able to find my phones. | realized what
they were looking for and handed my cellular phones over to them
willingly. | did not contact him asking him to delete my profile. This is
simply not true, Goldblatt states "/ asked him why they were there” |
deny that | had such a conversation with him. I was informed by my
attorney that persons subject to a search and seizure warrants will

find it quite strange that 40 Hawks would allow me to make telephone
calls.
lam also aware that the protection of Kinnear had been taken away
during January 2020 while he apparently

received death treats.
In this report Mrs Kinnear is concemed with the fact that her husband
was on a apparent hit list, that their home was attacked with a hand
grenade on 23 November 2019 and that her husband wrote a report
to the National Commissioner in which he complain that he was
being monitored by a rogue unit of police officers attach to the
Western Cape Crime Intelligence Unit and that these officers were
intercepting his calls.
From this report it further appear that the Kinnear family wes
threatened by the South Airican Police Services Crime Intelligence
Unit, It is also noted from this report that the Police was well aware
that Kinnear's cellular phone was pinged.
Why did the police not act then. The oniy reasonable inference that
can be drawn is that there were several individuals with 2 motive to
