Dear Premier Zille
Kindly take note of the criminal charges that was laid against Johann Brummer, Thys Giliomee and Brummer’s girlfriend, Debbie Nicholson. Duppie Du Plessis and the mayor will probably also be prosecuted since they approved the payment.
Please take note of the following:
- The flat from which Giliomee moved was empty the whole time. I confirmed this from the Estate Agent Roni Engelbrecht 0837093567.
- Despite the fact that on the very same form which Debbie signed, it is clearly stipulated that a PDI must be a South African citizen, she nevertheless registered as one.
- She falsely stated that she’s not in the employment of government and never was while she is in fact working in Brummer’s office as “assistant to the Speaker” (title self adopted) while Brummer was still the speaker. I don’t know what job she is currently doing since Brummer was removed as speaker.
- The money was paid to Brummer, he is the service provider. Debbie (his live-in girlfriend staying in the very same flat with him) was used as an afterthought when they realized they will be caught out. They probably wanted the money for some pocket chance for their holiday in America, where they went “coincidently” for the exact time that Thys Giliomee needed accommodation. Moreover, the municipal house in which the previous mayor lived, remains empty.
- This is exactly the type of conduct which the procurement process (advertising and competitive bidding) and what the Corruption Act is trying to prevent.
Do you trust this man?
You are welcome to contact me on the cell number (I have provided).
I would appreciate it if you could remove these individuals from Plettenberg Bay. They are a destructive force in our community. I am afraid that if you don’t, Bitou will become a fixture in the Sunday Times.
I understand that Brummer won you the last election but I can assure you he will cost you the next one.
Kind regards,

OK, so, it appears that alternative accommodation was available for Mr. Gilliomee – the Municipality’s own house was empty. So, I suppose the Municipality did after all not have to pay anything for the accommodation.
What’s more is, the flat from which Mr. Gilliomee moved in order to occupy Ms. Nicholson’s flat, then was uninhabited for the period he stayed in Ms. Nicholson’s flat. That is 2 for 2.
I love the part where Mr. Brummer is listed as the service provider on Annexure D. Oops, then they realised this might cause problems, lets substitute Brummer with Nicholson – the end result is the same, the money ends up in Brummer’s pocket. And Debbi declared herself under her signature to be 100% previously disadvantaged because of unfair discrimination based on gender. USA Citizen. I think her only disadvantage is being American, oh and maybe being “friends” with Brummer…
To answer the question in the caption to the photo: NO, never, not a chance.
He cannot be trusted. Bitou’s corruption buster caught with his fingers in the till. Nee sies man! Brummer must please find himself something else to do. He can perhaps take a walk around the country for some charity organisation to show that he has remorse for bringing the whole of the greater Plett area in disrepute by his unwarrented behaviour.
What is worrying from the memorandum is that it demonstrates that DA mayors and councillors are violating the MFMA.
The “Executively approved” (approval) by the Mayor u-Memory is a clear violation of section 117 of the MFMA which says that NO councillor of any municipality may be a member of any municipal bid committee”.
In short it means that from the memorandum and the enclosed deviation, it appears that the Mayor actually approved it. This should be reported because it is clear that the Mayor was involved in the appointment of a service provider which is certainly not a power which the mayor has.
It is one thing to play a vuvuzela, but another to govern cleanly. From the memo it appears that u-Memory has made him,self guilty of violating section 117 of the MFMA which says that “no councillor may be a member of a bid ” or be involved in approving bids. Here it clear shows that u-Memory approved the payment “executively” nogal….seems it was the only thing they allowed him to do after stripping him of his powers as mayor. So typicaly patronising DAceiver, DAceived….
The DA is a law unto itsself they can point a finger at the ANC but they are indeed the masters of corruption.
If Zille can trust Theuns Botha and all those broederbonders in her cabinet she can trust the lot at Bitou municipality. The question should be whether we as citizens of the Western Cape can trust Helen Zille. She who bullied Thuli Madonsela into submission with the investigation into the Communications Tender. Ja and we all no what happened thereafter.
DA bunch of Puss-te….!!!!
“JEF” What is happening in this matter? The Voters of Ward 2 should know before december 5th.
Independent, nothing will ever happen. DA corruption is not corruption in the eyes of the media and the law enforcement agencies of this country. I have personally refered numerous complaints against the DA to the office of the public protector and I have not even received an acknowledgement of receipt. I have no hope in the system!
Terence. Can you list all the complainst you have refered to the public protector on “JEF”.
“JEF” can you foward all those complaints direct to the public protector and inform us as such. She is “Investigated” currently for “Leaning” towards the DA. Personally I don’t believe that, I have faith in that lady. Independent, your complaints might, just might not have reached her. Sticky fingers “En Route”
1. Unlawful appointments of staff at Eden District Municipality.
2. The DA led Council’s unwillingness to recover R360 000.00 from the municipal manager for fruitless and wasteful expenditure incurred during 2009.
3. Irregular appointments of service providers (floating the supply chain management processes).
4. Payment of performance bonus to the municipal manager for the period 2009 to 2010 despite the fact that the result of evaluation found that he does not qualify for a bonus.
5. Withdrawal of an instruction to attorneys to recover fruiltless and wasteful expenditure from 3 former councillors who now happened to be members of parliament for travel claims they were not entitled to. The amount approximately R1 million.
Ok “JEF”. Can you take this further? from the website I understand that you are all lawyers.
Independent all these matters were referred to the public protector’s office more than a year ago. Is n’t it strange that she has finalised a host of investigations into complaints that were submitted way after i have submitted my complaints? And my complaints are very simplistic and can be dealt with within one month. I have submitted all the evidence that i had in my possession to her office, but i have not even received an acknowledgement of receipt. If i had the funds i would have approach the high court to compell this useless public protector to investigate these matters. Abuse of office and maladministration must be investigated without fear or favour. I am of the view that the public protector is bias towards the DA.
