uMthembu @LukhonaMnguni tells us we have a leadership vacuum and the Generals are restless. They are uncomfortable with these nervous conditions and are voicing their frustrations. I hear that.

I’m concerned about these and how the political leadership has created these nervous conditions by, inter alia, liquidating the State. We have waded into really dangerous terrain that could lead us to a less than democratic dispensation as a result of them allowing themselves to be led by NT and the SARB.

With the Makate matter finally settled out of court, it seems like a good time to talk about the dishonestly of the former CEO of the red network, Alan Knott-Craig in relation to Please Call Me.

In 2001, an email was sent out to all staff, crediting and expressing much gratitude to Makate. It read ‘Kenneth Makate from our Finance Department came up with the idea a few months ago and brought it to the Product Development Division. We wish to thank Kenneth for bringing this to our attention’. This would be repeated in internal magazine sent to all staff.

Yet, in his 2008 autobiography, our good friend Alan goes into great detail about how he came up with the idea (and then later denies words we could all read). He describes leaning over the balcony at work and seeing two security guards ‘buzz’ each other as how the idea came to him. He then waffles on about how another exec had mentioned a remotely similar idea, but that no mention had been made of it coming from an employee, and that he went with it and pitched it as ‘the idea from the balcony’. This cannot possibly be true. In 2008, when his book came out, he certainly would have known for 7 years that it was Makate’s idea. So either he or the exec, the head of Product Development at the time, tried to steal the idea (The court said both).

In 2016, the Constitutional Court said that his version was so improbable that it could not plausibly be true, because it could not coexist with the email sent to staff crediting Makate. The court went on to describe it as a false narrative, a ‘dishonesty perpetuated in the autobiography’. Most damningly, the court said, ‘The untrue story appears to have been part of a strategy to deny the applicant compensation for the idea’.

If this does not speak to the brazenness of greed and dishonesty, I don’t know what does. For years, many in the public have accused Makate of greed for fighting for what’s his. But I want you to take a step back and think about the level of greed you must have to claim someone’s idea in your autobiography. A book published and circulated across the globe — words you can never unprint. Forget the money for a bit (not for too long, because that’s why we are here), but the legacy greed of it all is nauseating. Knott-Craig was already a successful executive, and he would go on to do even more great things at another network. So why the erasure of Makate??? Most importantly, it shows the extent to which our good friend Alan and his boets were willing to go to not pay Makate — creating an entirely fictional story.

This is why I am so happy Makate is finally getting his payday. 2001 was 24 years ago. It takes a lot of grit to fight for that long. The fight was not only about the money, but about taking back his legacy — a legacy that someone tried to steal in a book that is still available in retail stores today (under non-fiction, at that). And most importantly, the fight is one of resilience. I can guarantee you that the hope and strategy was that he would eventually get tired and let go of the fight after a few years. It’s not every day that you find someone who stands resolute and says that you will not litigate me into giving up!

KATISO MOLEFE'S LUXURY HOME PREVIOUSLY SOLD ILLEGALLY THROUGH IDENTITY THEFT

The luxury property owned by Mr. Katiso “KT” Molefe has once again come under the spotlight after reports emerged that it was unlawfully sold in 2014 through identity theft—without the owner’s knowledge or consent.
Johannesburg - In a sophisticated case of fraud and identity theft, fraudsters with an intricate knowledge of the property system have transferred ownership of a luxury home in Johannesburg without the knowledge of the owners or new “owner” and defrauded Standard Bank to the tune of R11.8 million.

The fraud, conducted in March 2013 when ownership of the property was transferred at the deeds office, was only discovered when the owner received an offer to purchase the house and discovered the house had been sold and transferred out of her name.

The property had been on the market for about a year at an asking price of R26m.

Every step of the transaction was fraudulent, including the offer to purchase, loan application, City of Johannesburg rates clearance certificate, SA Revenue Services (Sars) transfer duty receipt, transfer documentation and mortgage loan application.

Ross Linstrom, a Standard Bank spokesman, confirmed a criminal case of fraud and impersonation had been laid with the SAPS in October 2013, but declined to comment on the progress made in apprehending the perpetrators because the investigation was at a sensitive stage.

Linstrom said this fraud was “quite unique”, but warned customers with unbonded properties to frequently check their property information on the deeds register.

Sandra Post, the owner of 137 Empire Place, Sandhurst in Sandton, launched an urgent application in the North Gauteng High Court and obtained an order in 2014, cancelling the fraudulent deed of transfer; reviving the previous authentic deed of transfer and declaring Post the owner of the property; cancelling the continuing covering mortgage bond over the property; and ordering the registrar of the deeds office to give effect to this order.

The property had been unlawfully transferred into the name of Roodepoort-based orthodontist Lourens Pretorius.

In an affidavit, Pretorius denied signing the offer to purchase the property or that it was his signature and initials on the offer to purchase.

He further denied signing any transfer documents, applying for a mortgage bond at Standard Bank or signing a debit order instruction for a Standard Bank account. The application was unopposed.

Penny Chenery, a director at Hogan Lovells, formerly known as Routledge Modise, who acted for Post, said a “terrifying” aspect of this case was that the transaction seemed legitimate in every respect.

“All the paperwork was handled correctly and passed through every check, including those at the bank’s loan department and the deeds office,” she said.

An investigation conducted by Chenery revealed a covering mortgage bond was registered simultaneously with the registration of the property to Pretorius for R11.8m and an additional amount of R2.95m.

Both the owner and supposed new purchaser of the property were the victims of identify fraud, with their signatures being forged on all the relevant documents and the identity documents of the “purchaser”, with a false photograph, presented when the R11.8m loan agreement was signed with the conveyancing attorneys appointed by Standard Bank.

Chenery said the R11.8m loan granted by the bank was withdrawn piecemeal in cash from the bank account until nothing was left.

The fraudsters were represented by a non-existent firm of attorneys who impersonated a legitimate conveyancing attorney from another province, Douglas Tatham. - Business Report.

This statement is not just historically illiterate, it’s morally bankrupt and lacks any empathy nor understanding.

Apartheid was not mere discomfort, because this is what you’re equating it to. It was not just hurt feelings. It was “losing a job opportunity”. It was systemic, brutal dehumanisation written into law and enforced with the utmost brutality.

Let’s go through some facts to remind you what actual persecution looks like even though I still know for a fact you will find a way to deny these:

The architect of apartheid, Hendrik Verwoerd, said:

“What is the use of teaching the Bantu child mathematics when it cannot use it in practice?”

That was not some throwaway remark. That was the Bantu Education Act in action. It was an entire schooling system designed to keep Black South Africans subservient and economically crippled. Something that has ripple effects to this very day.

Let’s talk about Sharpeville: 69 unarmed Black protestors shot in the back by police.
Let’s talk about the Soweto Uprising: Children killed by the state for protesting being forced to learn in Afrikaans. (Where is the Camps Bay uprising where kids were being forced to learn isiXhosa?)
Let’s talk about forced removals: Over 3.5 million people evicted from their homes because their skin wasn’t the right colour for the area.
Let’s talk about the Pass Laws: A criminal offence to exist in your own country without a permit, your freedom determined by a piece of paper
Let’s talk about voting rights: A white minority dictating the lives of the Black majority who weren’t even allowed to choose their leaders.
Let’s talk about land ownership: Black people were legally barred from owning land in 87% of the country.
Let’s talk about legally sanctioned torture and murder: Activists beaten, tortured, hanged, or made to disappear. My grandfather was one of them, tortured until he suffered a stroke and died. No trial.

Under apartheid, Black South Africans were not second-class citizens. We were not citizens at all. We were an inconvenience to be moved, controlled or eliminated.

Let’s contrast that with what you call “persecution” today: policies that seek to correct generations of deliberate exclusion. Efforts to broaden access to education, opportunity, and land not to harm you, but to repair what was broken.

You confuse equality with persecution because you’ve never had to live without privilege. You call transformation oppression because the playing field is finally being levelled and even that feels unbearable to you.

What you are calling “persecution” is people finally getting a seat at a table that was built on top of them.

If fairness feels like persecution to you, it says more about your comfort with injustice than it does about transformation.
