From apartheid to civil forfeiture. 

What do these folks have in common? 

Should we forgive people in government who violate human rights?

Civil asset forfeiture is against the law. 

According to the Bill of Rights see Section 25(1), "NO LAW MAY PERMIT ARBITRARY DEPRIVATION OF PROPERTY" 

The civil forfeiture of my home has resulted in a criminal charge CAS 13/11/2008 against First National Bank. The Department of Land Affairs was made aware of this problem before the transfer of my property and a conviction against First National Bank makes the Department of Land Affairs an accessory to the fact. By definition of the Prevention of Organized Crime Act of 1998, Willie Hofmeyr and the Asset and Forfeiture Unit are therefore an organized gang but how will the AFU forfeit their own assets?

Re: FNB FRAUD.

Dear Sir,

The above extract is from a First National Bank statement dated 10th December 2007 to 10th January 2008.

In 1996 I entered into a contractual agreement with First National Bank. First National Bank has been charging me fees for transactions relating to my home loan account and now it is evident to me that every deposit that was paid from my business account into my home loan account has disappeared. I am suspicious that First National Bank has disclosed confidential information about my account to persons unknown to me and without my consent and It appears to me that First National Bank has engaged to alter my home loan account without my consent and that money has been deposited into my home loan account without my consent and that my entire home loan account has also been cancelled without my consent and I am under the impression that these actions of First National Bank constitute the commissioning of more than one criminal offence.

More than R200 000 of my money and also the value of this money has been stolen by First National Bank.

This letter serves to confirm that I have approached the South African Police and I am opening a charge of fraud and theft against First National Bank. Other charges may also be included as this investigation proceeds.

You have my instruction and I am available to you at all times.

Yours faithfully,  

Simon Prophet.

SECOND PROPHET LETTER TO POLICE emailed 27/11/2008: 

Dear Sir,

I was arrested for being in possession of illegal firearms and ammunition when I was evicted from my home and I was locked up all at the same time. The Deputy Sheriff of Maitland, Mr Seconds, took both of my cars and everything that he considered to have value. What was not wanted was thrown into the street. As you can imagine this put me into an immediate state of shock and unfortunately many personal documents went missing.

It will take me the weekend to recover what I can. I will also request statements from the bank. All being well you can have what you need before Tuesday.

I am happy that you have been assigned to this case and I look forward to meeting with you.

Kindregardssimon.

 

THIRD PROPHET LETTER TO POLICE emailed 2/12/2008: 

Dear Capt Ontong,

Please find the two attachments.

  1. HOME LOAN STATEMENT.
  2. FNB PRINT OUT

The FNB print out reflects a payment of R84 thousand. This payment was not made by me. Where is the R84 thousand now? Surely there must be a law that prevents FNB from simply moving money in and out of my account without my permission. Money that is paid into my account is to my benefit so then to whom does the R84 thousand belong? When money is deposited into my account then does that money belong to me or does it belong to someone else?

FNB has a contract with me and the bank has given the title deeds of my property away without compensating me in violation of my contract. The bank has never had my permission to do any such thing. 

I have a contract with FNB and FNB has ignored my contract and is guilty of fraud.

The value of my money that I have been paying to FNB has disappeared. I was not paying money into a savings account. The money that I have paid to FNB followed a specific economic agenda that is directly related to the value of 54 Balfour Street.

There is nothing illegal about the money that I have been paying to FNB. That money and the value of that money belongs to me and it has disappeared.

My home was forfeited because in 2003 a civil court determined it to be guilty of having been an instrumentality of a crime. My home was not forfeited because I was guilty of crime and it was not forfeited because it was the proceeds of crime. The value of my home still belongs to me and section 25(2) (b) and section 25(3) of the Constitution demands that I be compensated for the value of my property and according to section 25(4) (b) “property is not limited to land”.

The money that I have been paying to FNB has never been forfeited. That money and the value of that money still belongs to me. Where is it?

I suspect that FNB has transferred the value of my money into a Standard Bank home loan account number 362837589 belonging to Mrs. R.J. Hodge who I also think is the new owner of erf 14241 (54 Balfour Street, Woodstock).

This woman is now enjoying the benefit of my money that I have been paying since 1996 and that is why she paid R260 thousand for a property that is valued at R1,7 million.

If this is not stealing then what is? 

Kindregardssimon.
