During my trail of the harassment case at Pretoria Central, I appeared as required.
And lo and behold, the disappearing docket made a miraculous appearance. ( you all know of the docket that disappears for two months and then miraculously appears again?)
The very same docket that disappears and then reappeares periodically from time to time..
I need to state categorically that there is only one docket.
The fallacy being put forward by my " learned " friend that there is more than one docket ( in fact four or five dockets) is just that: a fallacy.
I also need to reiterate that MrX is not a party to the harassment case as he is not a complainant.
At best, he might be called upon as a witness.
Now that the disapearing docket appeared again, it would enable my legal team to scrutinise, in open court, all the alleged " evidence ".
( Which was what I wanted all along).
The content of the docket makes for very interesting reading. You might want to follow proceedings.
After one makes a case against someone the investigation officer has to execute a warning statement by requesting the perpetrator to make a warning statement.
I was only requested to make a single warning statement sometime in April this year ( which I did)
Therefore, there is only one case where I allegedly transgressed a court order.
My attorney asked for full disclosure of the single docket to enable my legal team to study the content of the docket to enable us to prepare our defence.
We should have full disclosure of the docket within the next two or three days.
However, we intend making an application to court to expedite disclosure of the docket tomorrow morning.
After my attorney established a date for the postponement of the court date to 12 October, and the date was accepted by the magistrate, my attorney requested permission from the magistrate to be excused.
Upon the request being granted, my attorney excused himself and I left the dock at the same time.
The investigating officer, Detective sergeant Masongo then attacked me by forcing me out of court into a holding cell.
The door of the holding cell was kept open for this purpose.
Sergeant Masongo then proceeded to grab my phone from my shirt pocket.
I grabbed my phone and held onto it.
A scuffle broke out and I then requested Sergeant Masongo to show me the section 205 warrant giving him permission to take possession of my phone.
He waved a piece of paper allegedly being the warrant in the air.
I thereupon requested in the presence of my attorney( still in the holding cell) to read the alleged section 205 warrant.
Sergeant Masongo failed to show either myself or my attorney the warrant.
We wanted to determine if the document being waved about was indeed a section 205 warrant with the correct dates.
This was refused.
Sergeant Masongo then proceeded to exit the holding cell on the other side.
That cell door was then locked to prevent us from following Sergeant Masongo to the prisoner cells in the basement.
My attorney and I then left the court and went down the stairs to the cells in the basement.
It needs to be mentioned that the court was still in session with the magistrate on the bench whilst this commotion was occurring.
When my attorney and I reached the court cells in the basement we found Sergeant Masongo on the other side of a locked gate ( which we could not enter)
My attorney then called Sergeant Masongo to furnish proof of the section 205 warrant to take possession of my cellphone. He refused to heed our request.
At the same time I requested Sergeant Masongo for a receipt for my phone and was informed that it would be furnished at Hercules police station.
Due to the fact that my attorney had another pressing matter to attend to we then decided to meet at Hercules police station at four yesterday afternoon.
Sergeant Masongo ( he was sitting outside the station in a car) refused to acknowledge us or to give us any co-operation and we then requested to see the station commander. Unfortunately the station commander was not available as she had left for home
I then made a case of theft and assault against Sergeant Masongo ( assisted by my attorney)
We received the Cas number depicted below late last night.
It was decided to meet with the Station commander this morning at 8:30 to fill her in on the events that transpired at court.
We then indeed had a very fruitfull discussion with the Station commander which would result in an internal investigation into the conduct of Sergeant Masongo at court.
I do not wish to elaborate on any additional steps we will be taking except that we might have to approach the High court to urgently intervene.
We will also aplly for a harrasment order against Segeant Masongo in the Magistrate court in Pretoria tomorrow.
The reason Sergeant Masonga desperately needs to take possession of my phone is to determine if there is underage pornographic videos of a certain
Mrs. X engaging in prostitution at Club 920.
During our investigation pertaining a harassment case for our defense, 7 Terrabite of video material of an underage female child came into our possession.
We used facial recognition to determine in which sections of the videos Mrs. X appears.
The IT people that scrutinized the videos with Facial recognition soon realized that it was indeed child porn and therefore could not be used in a court of law.
Being police reservists they then decided to hand said underage child porn over to the relevant authorities to enable police to find the perpetrators to enable police to prosecute them.
Apparently the men involved were Indian, Black and European.
I want to state categorically that I have not seen the Club 920 underage porn videos of Mrs.X, I never had said porn and it was never given to me by any electronic means.
I also wish to state that in my attorneys opinion, my cellphone was illegally confiscated by Sergeant Masongo and that there was a breach of the chain of evidence regarding the handling of my phone as it was illegally stolen and any compromising evidence can as such not be used in a court of law.
( But I need to mention here that nothing was removed by me from my phone simply because I do not have any incriminating evidence that can be used against me on my phone)
In any event, if I had any compromising evidence on my phone it can easily be recovered by any half decent IT guy.
I also wish to make it known that I have biometric (fingerprint) , PIN and facial recognition on my phone as security features.
( and having been in court, as a law abiding citizen, naturally my phone was switched off)
I know it is not impossible to bypass all the security features, but good luck accessing the information on my phone.
You guys are going to be busy indeed.
If I do not see a proper and valid section 205 warrant with the correct dates, you guys are not getting the phone unlocked.
Meanwhile, we are all on the merry go round.
Enjoy the victory of having stolen my phone while it lasts.
I can assure you that we are not impressed.
But that, you guys will find out from tomorrow onwards.
Enjoy the following few days.
