No illegal drugs were uncovered by the unlawful search of Prophet's home and outside of Venter's imagination, nothing unlawful was shown to exist.

Before reading Venter's affidavit It is important to take cognisance of various factors.

First to consider is that prior to Venter signing his affidavit is that Venter was unlawfully inside Prophet's home. Venter was not there on any permission granted by Prophet.

Given the opportunity then, Prophet would have definitely denied Venter any permission or any right to have entered into Prophet's property in the way that Venter did.

Venter was not a guest in Prophet's home.

Venter was trespassing unlawfully on Prophet's property.

Prophet may have allowed Venter to enter into his garage sale business at any reasonable time and look around at the stock and to buy anything that was for sale and Prophet would have had no problem chatting to Venter about any subject but under absolutely no circumstances would Prophet have allowed Venter to scratch through any of his bedroom cupboards, the drawers of his office desk, or to look at or to examine any of the things in Prophet's security safes or to scrounge through Prophet's personal records, his private diaries or anything like that.

Everything changes when there is a realization and an admittance that from the very start for Venter to have entered into Prophet's private home was an act of breaking the law.

Venter can plead ignorance that he did not know that he was trespassing and he can try to deny that he was breaking the law but the findings by Magistrate le Roux in the criminal trial court case number 16/236/03 are conclusive and final and there is no backing out of these facts.

Venter had every opportunity to approach Prophet while Prophet was operating his second hand business in the garage on the same property and make any civilized enquires about anything but this is not what Venter did.

Venter with his drug police colleagues used violent aggression to smash their way into Prophet's home causing damage that at the time amounted to more than R5 000 and all of that was completely unnecessary, uncalled for and unwanted and illegal.

Let us not make any mistake about this. The presence of Venter in Prophet's home was illegal. How Venter gained access into Prophet's home was also illegal and neither Venter nor his drug police colleagues have ever been held accountable for the destruction and damage that was committed by them to Prophet's properties.

The second hurdle to consider is that this affidavit of Venter's was not submitted into Prophet's criminal trial.

This affidavit found its way onto a platform outside of Prophet's criminal trial.

For this to have been done was a local and an international unlawful act.

As an accused person, at the time, Prophet was awaiting the criminal trial and by submitting this affidavit onto a platform in such a way as it was presented was to make a public presumption of guilt and not only that, Venter's affidavit went beyond every legal limit in that Venter's affidavit was making a public proclamation that Prophet was guilty of the crimes of which he had been accused.

To have done the above is for Venter to have broken the law of presumption of innocence and this is a violation of a non derogable Constitutional law.

It goes without saying that Venter was also violating all of the sections under Section 14 of the Constitution in that Prophet's right to privacy is a supreme law and it has been established as a fact beyond a reasonable doubt via the court findings of Cape Town Magistrate Court criminal case number 16/79/01 and also by the court findings and the court order of the Cape Town Magistrate Court criminal trial case number 16/236/03 that this is what Venter and all of his drug police colleagues were doing.

Prophet is accusing Venter of breaking the law by having committed perjury and this may or may not be true but from what is evident from the facts as they are presented above then none of this is of any help in Venter's defence.

Venter is not above the law.

Apart from the proven Constitutional unlawful acts committed by Venter which have been established as facts beyond a reasonable doubt, as explained above there is yet another unlawful act to consider and that is that the presentation of this affidavit as well as the affidavit known as the "False Formula" affidavit, these two affidavits, having been presented in the High Court of Cape Town, was an act of contempt of court in that the ruling of Magistrate le Roux forbade any such presentations from the drug police on account of the search warrant having been declared unlawful.

These acts of contempt of court did not end with the Cape Town High Court and the acts of contempt continued as the affidavits were presented to the Supreme Court of Appeal and to the Constitutional Court.

The Judges in the Supreme Court of Appeal and the Judges of the Constitutional Court can argue and make claims that this information about Venter's affidavits being in contempt of a court order was unknown to the civil courts but any such claims will be in vain.

The criminal transcripts of the second criminal trial were submitted by Prophet into the Constitutional Court and so the opportunity was afforded for the civil courts to acquaint themselves with the facts but the court would not allow the submission.

Since Prophet's evidence was denied then we are left to ask on what basis could the civil court judges arrive at any derogatory conclusion about le Roux's findings especially so since le Roux's finding were rejected and were denied to be presented as evidence?

Only fools make comments about something that they have never looked at.

In his replying affidavit to the Supreme Court of Appeal, Prophet did make mention of  court case number 16/79/01 where Magistrate Matthews also declared the search warrant as invalid.

Are the civil court judges also going to reject the findings of Magistrate Matthews without knowing any of the facts that led up to that finding?

As the covered up and swept under the carpet facts start to be unravelled and to become known then the picture begins to emerge that the forfeiture of Prophet's properties and the destruction of his dignity can only be interpreted as a miscarriage of justice.

It's not that Prophet was wrongly found guilty and from that wrongful verdict he was made to suffer a terrible punishment.

NO.

Prophet was found to be innocent and after having been found to be innocent he was made to suffer a terrible punishment which he is still suffering to this day and continues to suffer even though he was found to be innocent.

This has to be repeated time and time again because it's difficult for ordinary law abiding people to fathom and to grasp what actually has taken place in the forfeiture of Prophet's home.

In the world history of law this may be the only time that such has ever happened.

It goes against every foundation of the law and justice and it is incredulous that such could have happened but it did.

But criminal case number 1438/3/2023 is not about the forfeiture of Prophet's home. Case number 1438/3/2023 is about did Venter tell lies under oath?

Yes or no?

In arriving at an answer to the question at hand it is relevant and important to be aware of and to be in knowledge of how Venter's affidavits have played out beyond the confines of Venter's affidavits themselves.

Before even beginning to read Venter's "Impossible Volume" affidavit all of the above must be borne in mind.

The above does nothing to protect Venter from Prophet's charge that Venter has committed perjury.

The above only gives credence and credibility to Prophet's charge that Venter has committed more than just one criminal act.

Of course Venter has the right to presumption of innocence and Venter has the right to defend himself against Prophet's charges but at the same time Prophet has the right to dignity and on that basis, Prophet has every right to bring Venter before a Magistrate to answer to Prophet's charges and no one may stand in the way of Prophet for Prophet to set the record straight and a criminal court room is the only fair place for both Venter and Prophet for this to take place.
