- 0:37Speaker 1: what are you.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Doing at the courthouse today?
- 0:39Speaker 4: I'm impating for a case.
- 0:41Speaker 5: See, we had this unfortunate event where one of our
- 0:44Speaker 5: attendants attacked mcolfredin and got us arrested for defending ourselves.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Lords of countercase. We later case.
- 0:52Speaker 5: First as the event happened, he desisted a rest, jumped
- 0:55Speaker 5: through a window flat from the police, sustained multiple injuries.
- 0:59Speaker 5: And then in the Tuesday, which is like four days
- 1:01Speaker 5: after he got arrested, he opened a countercase saying that
- 1:04Speaker 5: all that injury sustained we did to him.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Why did he attack your girlfriend?
- 1:09Speaker 5: He wasn't paying rain for about six months before this happened.
- 1:12Speaker 5: You know this land or this eviction laws that takes
- 1:14Speaker 5: tens of thousand of rands to get it eviction. This
- 1:17Speaker 5: guy knew that he knew exactly what he was doing.
- 1:19Speaker 5: The same investigating officer that arrested him, that's dealing with
- 1:22Speaker 5: his countercase against us. He disssted arrest, jumped through a window,
- 1:26Speaker 5: sustained injuries, which never made its way into his countercase
- 1:29Speaker 5: for US. So it looks like we arrested him. So
- 1:32Speaker 5: I don't know if you paid the investigating officer. I
- 1:35Speaker 5: don't know what happened. That's a that's a very accusation,
- 1:38Speaker 5: hundred percent. But for that evidence to be without four
- 1:42Speaker 5: months on end, never to take witness statements, never to
- 1:45Speaker 5: come back and invescate further.
- 1:47Speaker 4: I was in jail for twelve days.
- 1:49Speaker 5: I was in prison for seven days no onetrant investigating
- 1:52Speaker 5: officer picked me up at home, said he didn't know
- 1:54Speaker 5: where I stayed, so I had no bail address, no
- 1:56Speaker 5: bail information.
- 1:57Speaker 2: So that's why they didn't grant you bail.
- 1:59Speaker 4: One hundred percent.
- 2:00Speaker 5: The guy said he feared for his life after the
- 2:01Speaker 5: court ordered him off of our property, he moved to Philippi.
- 2:04Speaker 5: I stay in Kensington. He said he self feared for
- 2:07Speaker 5: his life. Measure was like you know what he he says,
- 2:09Speaker 5: he's fear for his life. It's fine, let him go
- 2:10Speaker 5: set another seven days in pose more.
- 2:12Speaker 2: There's some sort of corruption happening here.
- 2:14Speaker 4: One hundred percent.
- 2:15Speaker 5: The police came and arrased my col friend and her
- 2:18Speaker 5: son after she was attacked. There's no risk warrant out
- 2:21Speaker 5: for him. There's no summons for the quote from him.
- 2:23Speaker 5: They were locked up for two days. She has a
- 2:25Speaker 5: critical kidney disorder. She cannot be inside a jail cell.
- 2:28Speaker 5: The law specifically stipulates certain conditions where people can and
- 2:31Speaker 5: can't be rated. Otherwise they can just go to court.
- 2:33Speaker 5: They threw in us in a filthy jail cell for
- 2:35Speaker 5: two days. Like every medication once which is supposed to
- 2:38Speaker 5: take twice a day. She asked for ambulance. Ambulance was
- 2:41Speaker 5: turned away the first time and only came later on
- 2:44Speaker 5: the nighttime, thirteen hours later. There's definitely something going on.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Corruption is deep with in Sceps. Because we already add
- 2:50Speaker 5: a protection order against the guy from his aggressive behavior.
- 2:53Speaker 5: Police arrested him, Like I said, the exact same investigating
- 2:56Speaker 5: officers dealing with our case dealing with his.
- 2:58Speaker 2: But that's not right though. That's a conflict.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Exactly, but according to the police, there's nothing wrong with
- 3:03Speaker 5: that at all. When I was getting my girlfriend and
- 3:06Speaker 5: Ason out on Bayo, the guy actually knocked me over.
- 3:08Speaker 5: The car ran me with a car, throve with me, Barbara,
- 3:11Speaker 5: like a hundred meters on the bonnet of the car.
- 3:13Speaker 4: I think that's the standing the same guy.
- 3:17Speaker 5: I went to go and open a case or attempted
- 3:18Speaker 5: murder because this guy was driving eighty while I'm on
- 3:20Speaker 5: the bonnet and swerved me off. Do you know what happened?
- 3:22Speaker 5: They brought the charges down to reckless driving. I don't
- 3:25Speaker 5: know who this guy is paying. You're choking. There's no
- 3:29Speaker 5: justice for South Africa. In South Africa, broken bell conditions
- 3:32Speaker 5: countless times at LAET. Don't arrest him. Something's working in
- 3:35Speaker 5: his favor and it's not making sense. He he's supposed
- 3:38Speaker 5: to be appearing today, so oh.
- 3:40Speaker 6: You supposed to be here. He's supposed to be better.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Watch out that he doesn't knock you over.
- 3:43Speaker 2: With his car.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Yeah, tell me about it.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Thank you very much for your time, sir, You're welcome.
- 3:48Speaker 2: What are you doing at the courthouse today?
- 3:50Speaker 7: Kidnapping and GPV but the case was withdrawn today.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Did you kidnap somebody.
- 3:56Speaker 7: I did not see it as kidnap at the time
- 3:57Speaker 7: because it was my partner. We're having a an issue,
- 4:01Speaker 7: so I forced her into my car. But I did
- 4:04Speaker 7: not hurt her and I did not kidnap her. But
- 4:06Speaker 7: what happened? What was the story? I found out she
- 4:09Speaker 7: was cheating with multiple partners. We were in a relationship
- 4:14Speaker 7: for about a year. Then we were staying together one year. Yeah,
- 4:17Speaker 7: we had assets together. What was the assets like house furnitures? Okay, okay.
- 4:23Speaker 7: I confronted her. She said she's going to stop everything.
- 4:27Speaker 7: She did not sleep with anyone. When I put that
- 4:29Speaker 7: on record, she was cheating with multiple partners or and
- 4:33Speaker 7: it was very, very intense. You decided to forgive her.
- 4:37Speaker 7: That was my biggest mistake. If she don't forgive her,
- 4:40Speaker 7: she started hiding the cheating. I would confront her and
- 4:44Speaker 7: she would turn around and make as if I'm crazy.
- 4:47Speaker 7: At the day when this thing happened, I was feeling suicidal.
- 4:52Speaker 7: I had taken pills. I felt like I couldn't do
- 4:55Speaker 7: this anymore. I was diagnosed with hypertension. I took pills.
- 4:58Speaker 7: She called the cobs and the cabs told me I
- 5:01Speaker 7: need to move out of the place. Then I started
- 5:03Speaker 7: not feeling well, so I wanted her to take me
- 5:05Speaker 7: to the doctor, and she was just not having it.
- 5:08Speaker 7: So that's when I forced her into the car and
- 5:11Speaker 7: I drove off with her.
- 5:12Speaker 8: And when I looked back, mind.
- 5:14Speaker 7: You, I'm i'm noisier and I'm I'm here. It is
- 5:17Speaker 7: not feeling well, I'm sleepy and I'm vomiting and stuff
- 5:20Speaker 7: like that. So one I checked the mirror, she was
- 5:23Speaker 7: opening the door while the car was driving.
- 5:26Speaker 8: She jumped out, but luckily.
- 5:28Speaker 7: I was first enough to smoke the car like very
- 5:31Speaker 7: very real sloke just about to stop. I tried to
- 5:34Speaker 7: catch it because she kept running. Then people came like
- 5:37Speaker 7: cars stop and stuff like that.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Now it doesn't look good for you.
- 5:41Speaker 8: Now it looks like kidnapping.
- 5:42Speaker 7: Yes, my intent was not to harm her, not to
- 5:45Speaker 7: get a ransom out of her. On that day, I
- 5:48Speaker 7: had a car accident as well. Smashed my car into
- 5:51Speaker 7: a truck a tow truck. Woke up in the hospital
- 5:54Speaker 7: and uh, thick.
- 5:56Speaker 8: But then I.
- 5:56Speaker 2: See there's a scar on your face.
- 5:59Speaker 7: This is a new one. Okay, I recovered. Now what
- 6:02Speaker 7: had happened is I wanted my stuff. That's when The
- 6:05Speaker 7: problem started because then she started making our threats that
- 6:08Speaker 7: she was going to open a case against it. She
- 6:11Speaker 7: doesn't want me or which is fine, Now she must
- 6:14Speaker 7: give you my stuff. She was like, no, I should
- 6:15Speaker 7: give her some time until she gets her own stuff.
- 6:18Speaker 7: She was paying the rent the house, I was buying
- 6:21Speaker 7: the furniture. Every time I spoke to her about it,
- 6:23Speaker 7: she kept on saying she's gonna tell the investigator officer.
- 6:27Speaker 7: The investigating officers told me that he needs to meet me,
- 6:30Speaker 7: and I got arrested.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Hectic.
- 6:32Speaker 7: Yeah, I stayed in Paul's moved two months. What that
- 6:36Speaker 7: was the worst part. It is bad there, inhumane. People
- 6:40Speaker 7: should not live like that, and under any circumstances.
- 6:43Speaker 6: The case has been withdrawn or thrown out. Now, why
- 6:46Speaker 6: did that happen?
- 6:47Speaker 7: The intent was not to kidnap. Maybe the court also
- 6:49Speaker 7: saw that. Claus She also dropped the case because she
- 6:52Speaker 7: knew that it was not going to go any any way.
- 6:55Speaker 7: Then she moved to Turkey. The Turkey, yeah, permanently. I
- 7:00Speaker 7: do not know till to the day what happened to
- 7:02Speaker 7: my staff.
- 7:03Speaker 6: All your stuff's gone, she's gone, but the case is
- 7:06Speaker 6: also gone.
- 7:07Speaker 8: I've got no choice but to move on.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Thank you very much for that.
- 7:10Speaker 8: Thanks man, go backward. Thanks cheers.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Okay, Well, if you'd like a definition of kidnapping under
- 7:15Speaker 1: South African law, i'm lawfully restraining a person's physical liberty.

- 7:27Speaker 1: victim of their freedom or control. Yeah, it's pretty Yeah.
