Employ my guys and pay me a monthly service
fee, or I will personally close down your business. Ruffle
my feathers and I may even kill you.
A ruthless gang would visit any venue that
failed to comply – usually on a busy night –
and proceed to smash the venue, along with the clients and
the owner to smithereens.
And these thugs would not be the bouncers that you see at
all the other clubs.
This was an international elite force.
People like Mustafa the Moroccan, Yuri the Russian and Fishkin
the Bulgarian to name a few.
And if you even entertained the thought
of standing up to them, your venue would be burned to the
ground. Like the George pub was in the late eighties or
early nineties.
But there was far more to Cyril Beeka than
this unsophisticated protection racket.
Cyril Beeka was involved with strip clubs, bombs, drugs,
rigged horse races, extortion plots, escort agencies, several
murders, prostitution, kidnapping, guns, gambling rings
and much much more.
And
he operated with immunity. |

On the few occasions that Cyril Beeka was
implicated in any crime, nothing came of it.
To give you an idea of his immune attitude, in 1994 he attacked
a suspect in a murder trial in court, in full view of the
judge, prosecutor, court orderlies, police and the public.
The suspect had shot two of Beeka’s employees.
Everyone thinks that it is fear alone that
stopped his victims from pursuing action against him.
But it runs far deeper than that.
The premise lays in the fact that Cyril
Beeka is a former Umkhonto we Sizwe cadre.
There have always been allegations that
Beeka had connections in the National Intelligence Agency.
As a former MK cadre, Beeka had connections in far higher
places than that.
Picture Cyril Beeka sitting next to Mo Shaik
- currently head of the South African Intelligence Service
- as a service provider, at the ANC’s conference in
Polokwane in 2007.
Now Google Mo Shaik.
Connect the dots and you will find that
Cyril Beeka was connected to Jacob Zuma himself.
