An Aston Martin Vanquish S, a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Grand Tourer, a Porsche Turbo, a Maserati Pininfarina,
a BMW 750i and an X6M!
So who is this super couple?
Why, klestes
of course.
In May 1998 Durban was rocked
when anarchy hit the streets. During the trial of several
men accused of murdering taxi boss Moses Gcaba a group
of gunmen launched an attack on the seat of justice.
The plan to kill the accused right inside
the high court was foiled and three of the gunmen were
arrested as police returned fire.
The Special Presidential Taxi Task Team, set up by elson
Mandela took over the investigation and managed to obtain
traffic camera footage of the getaway vehicle driven by
Durban Metro Police officer Constable Sbu Wiseman Mpisane.
When arrested, Mpisane immediately agreed
to give evidence against others in exchange for immunity
under Section 204 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
However before Mpisane could take the
stand against the multimillionaire taxi boss Mandla Gcaba
– one of the wealthiest men in South Africa - who
Mpisane fingered as the mastermind behind the High Court
bloodbath, the traffic cop vanished.
Judge Allan Howard gave investigators four months to find
the traffic cop – but after four months he resumed
the trial. With no star witness in the form of Mpisane,
Howard found Mandla Gcaba and Jabulani Dumakude not guilty
of conspiracy to murder.
Just days after Gcaba’s acquittal,
Mpisani reappeared at the Metro Police headquarters, claiming
that he had been kidnapped and held at a holiday resort,
and asking for his job back.
Mpisani is married Shawn, the daughter
of Sbu Mkhize, a notorious armed robber and murderer who
was shot dead by Murder and Robbery Unit detectives in
1992. Mkhize was one of the earliest practitioners of
cash in transit robberies – and not all of the cash
he stole during his reign of terror was recovered.
Shawn is the owner of Zikhulise Maintenance,
Cleaning and Transport in Umlazi KZN.
In 2009 alone, this company received R219-million from
the eThekwini municipality to build low cost housing,
but failed to continue construction after informing workers
that there was not enough money available.
There you have it.
The kleptes
that live in a R17-million mansion in La Lucia, and obviously
has strong connections with not only super-klestes but
also some powerful kratos.
What’s a Rolls Royce Phantom and
a couple of Lamborghinis to them?
