Comment on the latest development

In previous posts we have informed about ongoing actions and interactions on our part with both CIPC and Afriforum and it is heartening to see our activity now bearing some fruit

Herman Lombaard of our group has interacted frequently with Afriforum and contributed to their investigation and to their arrival at the point of now challenging the NPA on their previous decision regarding the freezing of the Sharemax/Nova assets as a measure of protection for the Debenture Holders

Afriforum’s upcoming action is confirmation of the validity of Deon Pienaar’s long (and independent) campaign to have the Reserve Bank’s original actions and many aspects of the business rescue plan and its outcomes, declared illegal and for the original assets, namely, the Sharemax properties in which the Debenture Holders invested, returned to them. Deon’s court actions remain ongoing

This latest action in conjunction with the CIPC’s actions also increases the pressure on relevant authorities to, at last, take appropriate action in execution of submissions to them and charges laid, which is long overdue. In this regard, Herman Lombaard laid a charge with the Hawks as far back as 2014. Investigation was undertaken and by 2018 they were ready to make arrests, but nothing transpired. This will not have been the only charge laid with various authorities over the years – all to no avail so far

As far as CIPC is concerned, their investigation is not yet finished, and we are cautiously confident that they will deliver significant outcomes in the not too distant future.

Debenture Cert Number: ND 30100. Client Number 450253.
For the first time since 2008 I woke up today to some positive news regarding my R 1m in this ‘sad saga’. I wish you all, my sincere thanks and gratitude for your diligence/work in bringing this crime to the stage that it has.
Well done .. Sincerely
Nick Thomas.

What’s going on?

Following the January voting meetings which led to the appointment of Mr JP Tromp as the new Debenture Trust Trustee we entered into discussions with him as well as other entities
We await outcomes of these interactions and will inform members of same via this site and our Facebook page in due course
In the meantime, members might be interested in the background to Ryk van Niekerk’s’ February 9 post in Moneyweb titled “Sharemax Investors screwed twice” (copied in this site as well as our Facebook page: Sharemax Investors/Nova Debenture Creditors)
Why screwed twice? Two November 2016 Moneyweb posts by Ryk (see links below) give the explanation of the first swindle
They detail:
* the corporate capture of Sharemax/Nova
* how the very people who are supposed to ensure that the Sharemax investors (who opted for Nova Debentures instead of shares) are paid out as required per the four (Court sanctioned) Schemes of Arrangement but have not done so (to the extent required)
* how certain “insiders” – to the detriment of the original investors – acquired, through a single line of “small print” in the SoAs, a majority shareholding in the then still to be formed Nova Property Group and thus, effectively, ownership of the Sharemax assets (the properties in which the Sharemax investors were originally shareholders) – tangible assets as opposed to the questionable value of the debentures which replaced the Sharemax shareholdings

Wat is aan die gang?

Na afloop van die Januarie-stemvergaderings wat gelei het tot die aanstelling van Mnr JP Tromp as die nuwe Skuldbrief Trustee het ons met hom sowel as ander entiteite in gesprek gegaan.
Ons wag op die uitkomste van hierdie interaksies en sal mettertyd lede daarvan inlig via hierdie webwerf en ons Facebook-blad
Lede sal dalk intussen belangstel in die agtergrond van Ryk van Niekerk se 9 Februarie Moneyweb artikel, getiteld “Sharemax Investors Screwed Twice” (geplaas in hierdie webwerf sowel as ons Facebook-blad: Sharemax Investors/Nova Debenture Creditors)
Hoekom twee keer “geskroef”? Twee November 2016 Moneyweb artikels deur Ryk (sien skakels hieronder) gee die verduideliking van die eerste swendelary (Jammer, dié is slegs in Engels beskibaar)
Die artikels spel uit hoe:

* die korporatiewe vaslegging (corporate capture) van Sharemax/Nova gebeur het * die einste mense wat veronderstel is om te verseker dat die Sharemax-beleggers (wat Nova-skuldbriewe in plaas van aandele gekies het) uitbetaal word soos vereis volgens die vier hof-gesanksioneerde Reëlingskemas, maar dit nie gedoen het nie (in die mate wat vereis word) * sekere binnekringers – tot nadeel van die oorspronklike beleggers – deur ‘n enkele reël “fynskrif” in die Reelingskemas ‘n meerderheidsaandeelhouding in die toe nog te stigte Nova Property Group verkry het en dus, effektief, eienaarskap van die mederheid van die Sharemax-bates gekry het (dws: die fisiese eiendomme waarin die Sharemax-beleggers oorspronklik aandeelhouers was) – tasbare bates in teenstelling met die twyfelagtige waarde van die skuldbriewe wat die Sharemax-aandeelhouding vervang het
