A ANC CAN OF WORMS NOW OPENED. BY EDITOR – OCTOBER 7, 2012 POSTED IN: HEAD LINES

Judge Eben Jordaan summarizing his judgement

•             Conspiracy by police spies exposed

•             Most costly trial must perhaps start over

After nine years and after the guilty verdicts of 20 Boeremag members for high treason, there is a possibility that the Boeremag trial can be derailed due to shock allegations of underhanded dealings by the police

The trial is the most costly case in South Africa’s legal history.

New sworn affidavits allege that police spies planted evidence, incited, and enticed Boeremag members to commit crimes. It is further alleged that crime intelligence eavesdropped on conversations between the accused and their legal representatives while the accused were in custody.

A total of 20 Boeremag conspirators have already been found guilty of high treason in the Pretoria High Court.

According to Prof. Pierre de Vos, a specialist in constitutional law, if the sworn allegations are true – the Boeremag trial can be declared null and void. The accused can even be set free.

The case has continued for nine years and has cost roughly R100 million. The court record is 50,000 pages long, and exhibits are packed in several storerooms. The State has called 159 witnesses so far.

Media24’s independent investigating team obtained a copy of a sworn affidavit by a former intelligence-officer. The affidavit contained specific allegations, and includes claims of police deception (Afr: polisie-onderduimsheid) and the making available of explosives to the conspirators.

A prominent advocate from Pretoria confirmed this past week that he is acting as the legal representative for “senior and trustworthy” police officials, who submitted sworn affidavits containing details of how crime intelligence had incited, mislead, and entrapped members of the Boeremag. The advocate, who due to the sensitive nature of the case preferred to remain anonymous, said that he had already informed the authorities and handed over the affidavits to them.

Media24’s investigating team has a sworn statement in their possession – made in August by Captain Deon Loots, a former crime intelligence-officer. The statement identifies current and former crime intelligence-officers, who according to Loots conspired to plot a campaign against the Boeremag. He also alleges that eavesdropping apparatus was planted in the cells of the accused and also rooms where they consulted with their legal representatives. He also states that police officers – all white – wanted to secure their future with the “new management” of the police, and used the Boeremag investigation for this purpose.

All 20 of the Boeremag accused found “guilty” of high treason.

Loots mentioned in his affidavit that he has been investigating the right-wing on behalf of crime intelligence, since 1994. He recruited and handled the police-agent JC Smit, who infiltrated the Boeremag. Smit was the main State Witness, and his testimony was described by the judge as trustworthy.

Loots mentions he doesn’t believe that all the Boeremag members are innocent, but that the group was enticed and motivated by crime intelligence agents. He said that the infamous “Document 12”, which was considered by the court as the Boeremag’s master plan for a violentCoup d’état by right-wingers, was typed on his own computer and further enhanced before it was presented to the Boeremag. The court found that the Boeremag leader, Mike du Toit, was in possession of “Document 12” and that he discussed it and also distributed it to other conspirators

“The Boeremag was powered, orchestrated and controlled by police members. Right-wingers were incited to create the perfect climate,” Loots said.

Paul Kruger, a lawyer who acted for 13 of the Boeremag members, said that the defence team always suspected their conversations were being eavesdropped on. In December 2003 an eavesdropping device was found in the cell of Lets Pretorius, where he was being held in the maximum security section of Pretoria Central prison. Kruger managed to obtain a sworn statement from a prison warder who confirmed this. Two experts also confirmed that the device was a highly sophisticated and sensitive apparatus, and in good working order.

When Loots was asked in, the past week, why he only decided to provide a sworn affidavit now, he replied that he had for years tried to bring the controversy under the attention of his superiors, but that he was repeatedly shunned.

The police agreed that they would react to the allegations by the day before yesterday, but have, until last night, not delivered any commentary yet.

Boeremag defendants: leftovers of apartheid or freedom fighters? By Avigdor Eskin

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

BOEREMAG VERRAAD!!!!!!!

Deur Jacques Pauw, Media24

Die Boeremag-hofsaak kan na 9 jaar en die skuldigbevinding van 20 Boeremag-lede aan hoogverraad, ontspoor word deur skokbewerings van polisie-onderduimsheid. Polisie-spioene het glo bewyse geplant, en Boeremaglede uitgelok en aangehits om misdrywe te pleeg, word in nuwe beëdigde verklarings beweer.

Verder word beweer die beskuldigdes en hulle regsverteenwoordigers is tydens aanhouding deur misdaadintelligensie afgeluister. Prof. Pierre de Vos, ‘n grondwetkenner sê indien die bewerings waar is kan die Boeremagsaak nietig verklaar word. Die beskuldigdes kan dan selfs vrygelaat word.

Die hofsaak duur al 9 jaar en kos sowat R100 miljoen. Die hofrekord beloop 50 000 bladsye en bewysstukke is in verskeie stoorkamers verpak. Die staat het sover 159 getuies geroep. Media 24 se ondersoekspan het onafhanklik ‘n afskrif van ‘n beëdigde verklaring deur ‘n voormalige intelligensie-eenheid-offisier bekom waarin spesifieke bewerings gemaak word. Dit sluit in polisie-onderduimsheid en die beskikbaarstelling van plofstowwe aan die samesweerders. ‘n Vooraanstaande advokaat van Pretoria het bevestig hy tree op vir “senior en betroubare” polisielede wat in beëdigde verklarings uiteensit hoe misdaadintelligensie die Boeremag-beskuldigdes aangehits, mislei en uitgelok het.

Media 24 se ondersoekspan het ‘n beëdigde verklaring in sy besit wat in Augustus deur kapt. Deon Loots, ‘n voormalige misdaadintelligensie-offisier gemaak is. Hierin word huidige- en voormalige misdaadintelligensie-offisiere uitgewys wat volgens Loots ‘n veldtog teen die Boeremag gevoer het. Hy beweer ook afluistertoestelle is geplant in die beskuldigdes se selle en vertrekke waar hulle met hul regsverteenwoordigers gekonsulteer het. Hy sê die polisielede – almal wit – wou hul toekoms by die “nuwe bestuur” van die polisie verseker en het die Boeremag-ondersoek hiervoor gebruik. Loots sê in sy verklaring dat hy sedert 1994 namens misdaadintelligensie die regtervleuel ondersoek het. Hy het die polisie-agent JC Smith gewerf en hanteer wat die Boeremag geïnfiltreer het en die hoofstaatsgetuie was. Sy getuienis is deur die regter as geloofwaardig beskryf. Hy (Loots) sê die berugte Dokument 12 wat deur die hof bestempel is as die Boeremag se meesterplan vir ‘n geweldadige staatsgreep deur regses, is op sy eie rekenaar getik en aan geskaaf voordat dit aan die Boeremag gegee is. Die hof het bevind die Boeremag-leier, Mike du Toit, was in besit van Dokument 12 en dat hy dit bespreek en onder ander samesweerders versprei het. Die Boeremag was aangedryf, georkestreer en beheer deur polisielede. Regses was aangehits om die regte klimaat te skep, sê Loots. Paul Kruger, ‘n prokureur, wat vir 13 van die Boeremaglede optree, sê die verdedigingspan het heeltyd vermoed dat daar na hul samesprekings geluister is. ‘n Afluistertoestel is in Desember 2003 in die sel van die beskuldigde Lets Pretorius in die Pretoria-sentraal gevangenis se maksimum veiligheidsafdeling gevind. Kruger het ‘n beëdigde verklaring bekom waarin ‘n tronkbewaarder dit bevestig het. Twee kenners het ook bevestig dat dit ‘n hoogs gesofistikeerde en sensitiewe toestel is wat in goeie werkende toestand was. Toe hy die afgelope week gevra is waarom hy nou eers besluit het om die beëdigde verklaring te maak, het Loots gesê dat hy jare lank probeer het om sy bewerings onder die aandag van sy meerderes te bring, maar telkens weggewys is. Deon Loots beweer voorts ‘n insypelaar is opgelei in die gebruik van plofstof met die doel dat hy dit later aan die hoogverraad-samesweerders sou oordra. Oor Dokument 12 sê Loots “die dokument was sedert die aanvang van die ondersoek op my skootrekenaar aangepas en verander en deur ‘n ander polisieman reggeskaaf. Die dokument het nie onder die regses ontstaan nie, maar is aan hulle opgedis”. Hy sê afluistertoestelle en mini-video-opnemers is in die selle van die beskuldigdes, die hofselle en die konsultasie-kamers geïnstalleer om hulle te monitor. Volgens hom is ‘n senior polisie-offisier na die VSA om die jongste tegnologie hiervoor aan te koop. “Ek het persoonlik die monitors dopgehou terwyl die aangeklaagdes die saak, en getuienis met hul regsverteenwoordigers bespreek het.” Hy sê alles was op ‘n rekenaar en is versend na ‘n plek wat in misdaadintelligensie se hoofkantoor in Erasmuskloof, Pretoria as die “oorlogskamer” bekend gestaan het. Loots sê dit het die vervolging in staat gestel om altyd een stap voor die verdediging te wees en sodoende hul strategie teen te werk. “Die saak was nooit regverdig nie en die vertrouensposisie tussen aangeklaagde en regsverteenwoordiger was hierdeur geskend” sê Loots. Hy sê geen van die staatsgetuies, veral die agente en polisiemanne, het hul eie beëdigde verklarings opgestel nie. Die weergawes is volgens hom deur ‘n senior intelligensie-offisier verander om te sorg dat dit die gebeure bevestig. Daarna moes hulle dit soos “papegaaie” onderteken. Loots sê hy het die polisie aan die einde van 2001 verlaat, maar het aangebly as die agent wat Smith hanteer het. Sy huwelik met ‘n ander offisier het hom toegelaat om tot 2010 te weet wat in die binnesirkel aangaan.
