[FRAUD-RELATED CHARGES WORTH R27 MILLION]
Petrus Jacobus Viljoen (57) today appeared briefly at the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court. He is facing a total of 400 counts of fraud worth R27 million, corruption, theft, uttering and forgery.
It is alleged that from January to March 2010, the accused and five other suspects who have not yet appeared before the court, fraudulently sold 46 properties belonging to the City of Joburg (COJ) to unsuspecting individuals and / or companies without the knowledge of COJ. To transfer the properties, the accused forged documents, including sales agreements, resolutions of City of COJ and Joburg Property Company (PTY) Ltd, power of attorney to transfer properties, affidavits and applications in terms of sections 68 (1) of the regulations under the Deeds Act 47 of 1937. Furthermore, it is alleged that the accused paid a deputy registrar employed by the Department of Land Affairs, gratification to register the transfer deeds of the properties.
This was discovered after the COJ conducted an audit on its immovable assets and noticed the discrepancies, and applied at the Johannesburg High Court to have their properties returned back to the city. The application was granted by the court and the properties were returned to the COJ.
After criminal investigations by the police, Viljoen was arrested in 2010 and appeared at the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court. However, the matter was set to start de novo in front of a different magistrate at the SCCU. Just before the matter was re-enrolled in court, Viljoen left the country in May 2025 and was re-arrested on 16 June 2026 at the OR Tambo International Airport after he was deported from the United States of America.
In court, the matter was postponed to 26 June 2026 for bail investigations and bail application. The state intends to oppose his release on bail.

@RealTshemedi2 I saw Sibisi in that starting 11 and I knew we were cooked... let alone the defensive approach... kanti World Cup ke eng bana? We really have nothing to lose... just throw the young attackers in and we stick to what we know... and we showcase our talent to the world...klaar!
Is it not a shame that we all watched “Akeelah and the Bee” without knowing the actual meaning.
The first time most of us heard the phrase “Spelling Bee,” we imagined a flying insect hovering over a dictionary. 🐝📚
But here’s the twist:
There was never a bee. 🐝
No wing, no sting, yet the name survived for centuries.
Long before spelling bees became ceremonial: before buzzers, spotlights, or national trophies, spelling was already a spoken ritual.
In 18th-century America, children didn’t write spelling tests. They stood up, spelled aloud, while the whole community listened.
They didn’t happen in quiet classrooms. They were held in noisy schoolhouses and town halls where literacy becomes entertainment.
People gathered—not just to learn—but to watch who would stumble, who would endure, and who would spell the final word correctly.

There’s something fishy about Starlink.
Why would people who propagate a false Genocide concern themselves about Children in Rural Areas? As their base Argument for this technology!!
I think we are making a Huge mistake by accepting Starlink in South Africa.
Yes, this is apparently what “steady leadership under pressure” looks like now. A complainant who needs legal advice to remember her own complaint. An advocate discovering, in real time, that preparation is optional and recall is aspirational.
The performance is almost tender like a Steak at Turn n Tender restaurant. Confusion framed as vulnerability. Disarray repackaged as being “overwhelmed.” If this is a cry for help, it’s being issued from the very office meant to offer help to the public.
We’re asked to believe the NPA was firmly under her control, while watching her struggle to control the narrative, the facts, or the enquiry she herself triggered. If there are shadowy forces at play, then the most charitable conclusion is this: the ship never had a captain. It just had a title holder reading the map upside down. 😂😂😅🫢

Watch & weep!

Apartheid was a violent legal system that stripped Black South Africans of citizenship, land, movement, education, and skilled work. Today’s redress policies are not “anti-white laws.” Equating the two is historically illiterate, morally bankrupt, and deliberately dishonest.
Firstly, they’re not going to do that and everyone with a working brain knows it. Elon Musk is a lot of things but a charitable man who cares about the education of South African children in rural areas is absolutely not one of them
2) why should we give that kind of power to a man who has already shown he is happy to abuse it as he did with Ukraine?
This is what their government did to make them rich, he failed because he wanted to.
1. Job Reservation. Mines and Works Act (1911, amended 1926)
This law officially reserved skilled and high-paying jobs for white people only, especially in mining and industry.
Example: A Black worker could not become an artisan or supervisor, even if they had experience. White workers were protected by law. This worked like BEE in reverse, it guaranteed jobs for whites only.
2. Industrial Conciliation Act (1924)
This law recognised white trade unions but excluded Black workers from many labour protections and skilled positions.
Example: White workers could negotiate wages and promotions, while Black workers were treated as cheap labour. This helped white people move up economically.
3. Colour Bar in Employment (Formalised from the 1920s, enforced strongly after 1948)
Many jobs were officially or unofficially marked as “white only”.
Example: A company could legally refuse to hire a Black manager or engineer. White people had first preference in employment and promotions.
4. Natives Land Act (1913)
This law stopped Black people from owning or buying land in most of South Africa. Only about 7% of land was set aside for Black people (later increased to 13%).
Example: A white family could own large farms, while Black families were forced into overcrowded areas. This created white wealth and Black poverty.
5. Native Trust and Land Act (1936)
This law reinforced the 1913 Land Act and strengthened land separation.
Example: Black people were further restricted from land ownership, while white farmers were protected and supported by the state.
6. Group Areas Act (1950)
This law forced people to live and do business in areas assigned to their race. The best urban and business areas were reserved for whites.
Example: Black business owners were removed from city centres, while white businesses took over prime locations.
7. Bantu Education Act (1953)
This law created separate education systems. White schools were well funded, while Black schools were designed to prepare students for manual labour.
Example: White children were trained to become professionals. Black children were trained to be workers. This gave whites a long-term advantage in jobs and income.
8. Pass Laws. Natives (Abolition of Passes and Co-ordination of Documents) Act (1952)
Despite the name, this law strengthened pass controls. Black people needed permission to live or work in cities.
Example: A Black person could be arrested for being in the city without papers, while white people moved freely and accessed jobs easily.
9. Homelands /Bantustans. Promotion of Bantu Self-Government Act (1959)
This law stripped Black South Africans of citizenship and forced them into “homelands”.
Example: A Black person was treated like a foreigner in their own country, limiting access to jobs, businesses, and wealth. White people kept full rights.
10. Government Contracts and Tenders (1948–1994)
During apartheid, state contracts mainly went to white-owned companies through laws, regulations, and practice.
Example: White businesses received government work and funding, while Black businesses were excluded. This is very similar to today’s BEE procurement, except it was permanent and whites-only.
From 1911 to 1994, South Africa had race based laws that economically empowered white people only.
These laws affected land, jobs, education, business, and movement. BEE exists today because those advantages lasted for decades and created deep inequality that did not disappear in 1994.
White South Africans stole and owned 92% of land during apartheid. Black South Africans were moved from their lands and piled like garbage in squalid slums called Townships. Only 8% of the land was let to 'belong' to them. Redressing racist apartheid policies is not anti-white. It is the correct thing to do. Land must be redistributed in South Africa come rain, sunshine, thunder or tsunami. Elon Musk and White South Africans who think like him can cry me a river. Worst thing is, they know the truth, but they refuse to be set free by the truth. ⚖️
