In the shadowy world of illegal mining and hidden corruption, the death of Marius van der Merwe, known as Witness D, exposes a tangled web that stretches far beyond one man's fate. This video dives deep into the real events behind his killing and the mysterious end of Constables Cebekhulu Linda, Boipelo Senoge, and Keamogetswe Buys, whose bodies turned up in the Hennops River.
Was Witness D silenced? Did Constables Cebekhulu Linda, Boipelo Senoge, and Keamogetswe Buys uncover something they shouldn't have?
This documentary reveals how senior police officers, including General Shadrack Sibiya and Brigadier Julius Mkhwanazi, along with high-ranking ANC members and government figures, appear to shield illegal miners, all for their own financial rewards. Marius van der Merwe's testimony before the Madlanga Commission implicated Julius Mkhwanazi in a body-dumping cover-up, and hinted at broader networks where law enforcement collaborated with Zama Zamas.
Marius van der Merwe, a former police reservist and security company owner, testified before the Madlanga Commission, exposing deep rot within the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department. He pointed fingers at Julius Mkhwanazi, claiming this senior official ordered him to dispose of a suspect's body after rogue officers had taken the man's life during an intense questioning session.
Just hours before his death, Marius van der Merwe expressed his determination to reveal even more about state officials tied to illegal mining. He mentioned surviving two assassination attempts in recent months, including one near Plastic City.
The killing happened right outside his home in Brakpan. National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola stated that investigations keep all possibilities open, not limiting the motive to his commission testimony but also considering his anti-Zama Zama work.
Friends and family painted Marius van der Merwe as a courageous man who knew the risks but felt compelled to speak out. His close associate, Superintendent Jacques Vorster, shared how they bonded while chasing Zama Zamas from Plastic City.
Constables Cebekhulu Linda, Boipelo Senoge, and Keamogetswe Buys vanished on April 23 while traveling from Bloemfontein to Limpopo for Operation Vala Umgodi. Six days later, their bodies surfaced in the Hennops River. Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya, leading the search and later the probe, quickly dismissed foul play, blaming speeding in poor conditions. This came before any formal forensic work, raising eyebrows.
This video explores the possibility that the constables, deployed against Zama Zamas, might have uncovered sensitive information about protected operations. The broader context shows illegal mining's resilience. Despite over 18,000 arrests in Vala Umgodi, figures evade capture, allegedly aided by officers.
Join us as we delve into the real truth that General Shadrack Sibiya and Brigadier Julius Mkhwanazi don't want South Africa to know.
