Statement by JP Smith. It’s a long read but worth it. Not to mention scary 😦

For immediate release:

*The real version of truth*
As has been reported in the media, SAPS obtained a search warrant for my office and conducted the search today.

I respect the work SAPS do and understand the importance of them being able to undertake such work without fear or favour or interference.

Personally, I have always found it disingenuous when people who are the subject of police investigation, claim it is ‘politically motivated.’ There are many good people in SAPS and the NPA and DOJ who have great integrity and would not allow themselves to be abused for political purposes.

That said, I have been tipped off that some political actors have been working on a smear campaign and have mobilised a political ‘hit-squad’ against me. I was alerted to this some months back, and some of you will have noticed from posts on social media that some politicians appear to be receiving ‘briefings’ or are involving themselves in what should clearly be, a protected police investigation.

Apart from these tell-tale warning signs, I have been reliably informed that senior ANC politicians have been briefed by members within SAPS. In addition, a concerned person has sent me recordings of conversations that, even just at face value, reveals a political conspiracy against me by political office bearers, a private security company, and possibly that of members within SAPS, yet undetermined at this stage if these are past employees or still serving within SAPS still today.

One of the sources in these recordings indicated that they obtained them from members in the police who are concerned about evidence being manufactured and actions taken by some of persons featuring in the recordings. While some of these persons have already identified, and in what the source called a “frame-up,” an individual featuring on the recording described the reason for me being targeted simply because I “stood in the way of too much”.

Parts of the recordings are quite alarming and suggest illegal and deeply unethical behaviour by the persons involved and clearly outline the intention of “character assassination.” In this context, the search of my office appears to be an calculated element of the proposed attack, not to find something that should hopefully implicate me in any way, but simply because they know it will create an opening through which they can drip the slow poison of doubt over me, along with unsubstantiated allegations intended to be drawn over a long period, for maximum effect.

In the recordings numerous concerning comments are made which suggest unethical or criminal in nature, including that the “planning meetings” are being facilitated along with national ministers and where money, or “payment” is discussed.

Having taken advice from a forensic specialist on the recordings, I have laid charges with the Federal Legal Commission (FLC) of the Democratic Alliance, against one of the councillors already identified within some of the recordings. It is my intention to engage SAPS on these recordings and share them with the investigators when given the opportunity, after my attorney has already and repeatedly in the past few weeks approached SAPS with such a request.

When the rumours first started, I was upfront and open with SAPS and others about this matter. I attempted to contact SAPS to determine if such allegations were indeed substantiated. In an effort of complete transparency, I also reported the concerns to the Executive Mayor, as well as the Speaker of council and to my party leadership, after which the Speaker wrote to the NPA and SAPS asking them to “confirm or deny” such rumours. From the outset, I also stated that I was committed to cooperate fully with any investigations or inquiries, and would immediately hand over any electronic storage devices or records for the purpose of any investigation, where and when requested. 1/4

I did not detail how the IDF operates inside the tunnels, so as not to harm operational activity, I also tried to be brief, and there are many details that I did not add, if you have any questions, I will gladly answer.
