THE SIU HAS BECOME DESPERATE
I’m at peace with myself and the world around me. I know myself and the deep roots that define me as an African.
Just to separate, at the very outset, fact from fiction. The SIU did not obtain any order to freeze my assets. The legal process is simple: an Organ of State would approach a court to seek a Provisional Order, as part of initiating its legal action. You are not notified or served papers at this stage.
In this particular case, the SIU approached the Tribunal (which is equivalent to a court) to seek a provisional order, pending my filing of a notice to oppose, within 10 days. I was served with papers on or about 9 July 2026, and filed my notice to oppose last Thursday. In terms of the Uniform Rules of the Court, I’m required to file my opposing affidavit within 20 working days from the date of the filing of my notice to oppose, which falls on 19 August 2026. This is the same process SARS followed to try and sequestration me.
So, the SIU obtained a provisional order to initiate legal action against me, but has not obtained a Preservation Order. As the word says PROVISIONAL! But why rush to proclaim victory at the very start of the process. I suspect the SIU was too excited and unleashed its overzealous propaganda machinery on me, but forgot to first check with its attorneys if I had already filed my notice to oppose their nonsensical application. Even if I had failed to meet the Thursday deadline, I would still have the right to approach the Tribunal, seeking condonation. No need to rush to the media to claim a hollow and non-existent victory.
What surprises me is the SIU choosing Sunday, a holy day for many Christians in the land, to lie to citizens that it had obtained a preservation order against two of my properties. It is a blue lie. It obtained a provisional order to start the legal process. They chose Sunday to tell this lie, hoping this will have the biggest impact and present me as a criminal.
Organs of State have over the years worked in a coordinated manner to bring me down. I trampled on the toes of Govt Ministers and senior ANC leaders when I refused to give them a share of the R53 billion new-train contract (the Gibela contract). They’ve set the dogs (law-enforcement agencies) on me. Every time they tried, they failed.
It all stared when the now-discredited Paul O’Sullivan laid charges against me at the Brooklyn Police Station in 2016, submitting a 22-page sworn statement full of innuendo but lacking in substance. Then entered Werksmans et al, infiltrated the DPCI through one Ryan Sacks of Howarth Forensics, to manipulate evidence so as to secure my prosecution on trumped-up charges. All these attempts failed. The work of a Living God 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
The Hawks (DPCI) then set up a special team under one Captain Ndlela to pursue me, interviewed many of my former colleagues, apparently asking them, “give us something on Lucky Montana”. No evidence emerged to nail me.
SARS followed, creating a fictional or non-existing tax debt of R55 million and instituted sequestration proceedings against my estate.
I’m used to such abuse of power and systematic onslaught. As recent as June 2026, I got information one Captain Govender from DPCI pressured PRASA to lay a false charge of theft of documents, so they could arrest me. The desperation is beyond me. Unfortunately for the State, some of us are wired differently and are not intimidated by nonsense.
It is now the turn of the SIU. It chose to revive the very same manufactured lies to pursue me. The SIU will fail.
So, I have read this script before, repeated so many times, in many different forms. As part of my peace, I stand still and watch. All I know is these will pass.
The SIU and other Organs of State continue to dream of the day they will feed on the carcass of Lucky Montana. But this will not happen, not in this lifetime.
I wish the SIU all the best in this latest attempt but they will not get any of my houses.
END!
