Casper Henderik Venter

Criminal charges for perjury have been opened against Casper Henderik Venter in March 2023 at the Cape Town central police station. The investigating officer is Sargeant Ngape. The criminal case number is 1438/3/2023.

The criminal investigation involves 2 affidavits wherein Casper Henderik Venter has been accused of having told lies under oath in both of the affidavits which were presented to the Cape Town High Court, The Supreme Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court.

The same criminal allegations were presented to the Senior Public Prosecutor of the Cape Town Magistrate's Court, to the Judicial Service Commission and to the South African Human Rights Commission.

Yes.

Perjury is a criminal offence and what follows below is Simon Prophet's affidavit submitted to the South African Police in March of 2023 accusing Casper Henderik Venter of having committed perjury.

Venter submitted two affidavits to the Cape Town High Court and these two affidavits travelled from one court to the next ending up in the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg.

These affidavits have been used by the National Director of Public Prosecutions to persuade the courts to arrive at wrong conclusions about Simon Prophet and to ruin Simon Prophet's life.

Prophet has shown to the courts that these affidavits are not true and that they are misleading but to no avail.

The presumption of innocence.

The presumption of innocence is contained in international and regional instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 11), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 14[2]), the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man (Article XXVI), the American Convention on Human Rights (Article 8[2]), the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Article 7[b]), and the Arab Charter on Human Rights (Article 16). It is also found in the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Rule 84[2]).

Guilt cannot be presumed before the prosecution proves a charge beyond reasonable doubt, and this principle applies until the judgment is made final as defined in Article 266 of the MCCP.

There are a number of ways in which the presumption of innocence can be protected. First, according to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, the presumption is breached where public officials prejudge the outcome of a trial (General Comment no. 13, paragraph 7).

Public officials include judges, prosecutors, the police, and government officials, all of whom must avoid making public statements of the guilt of an individual prior to a conviction or after an acquittal. It is permissible, however, for the authorities to inform the public of the name of a suspect and that the person has been arrested or has made a confession, as long as the person is not publicly declared guilty (see the European Court of Human Rights case of Worm v. Austria, application no. 83/1996/702/894 [August 29, 1997], paragraph 52).

Even in the absence of the South African Constitution and even before the South African Constitution came into existence, how much more clear can it be to show that there are age old powerful laws that are in place to protect the dignity of persons accused of crime?

Venter's affidavits condemned Prophet to be a criminal while Prophet was on trial and were submitted onto different platforms outside of Prophet's criminal trial during the proceedings of Prophet's criminal trial and also found their way onto other different platforms after Prophet had been acquitted of criminal wrong doing.

By submitting his affidavits into the civil trials, taking into account all of the circumstances, what was said, when and how, then Venter has engaged to violate numerous non derogable laws.

Prophet bears no grudges but it's time to set the record straight and it seems that the only way that can be achieved is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Venter has lied under oath.

Casper Henderik Venter

Venter's lies will continue ad infinitum until something drastic is done to put an end to his lies and this is why criminal charges have been opened against Venter.

Prophet has the right to dignity and he has the right be protected from criminal attacks on his person.

In desperation from these assaults on his dignity Prophet has finally approached the South African Police for their protection.

Prophet makes bold claims in his affidavit that Venter has commissioned criminal acts and Venter has the absolute right to presumption of innocence to the same degree that Prophet was supposed to have been presumed innocent.

Standing side by side, in Venter's claim of wrong doing on the part of Prophet, Venter has never represented himself as a victim of anything that Prophet is supposed to have done wrong nor has Venter ever represented anyone else as being a victim of Prophet's alleged crime.

In Venter's criminal claims against Prophet there are no members of the general public who have come forward proclaiming to have been victims of any alleged wrong doing on the part of Prophet. No victim stands before the police. No victim stands before the court.

Venter's criminal claims against Prophet take place in the absence of a complaint and in the absence of a crime in a time frame when Prophet was facing criminal charges.

Now next to Venter's claims, in stark contrast, Prophet's charge against Venter is alarmingly different because Prophet is the victim of Venter's alleged criminal acts and Prophet can show how his life has been ruined.

Therefore, it follows to a considerable degree that Prophet is entitled to proclaim that Venter is a criminal and, as the victim, it is also Prophet's fundamental civil right to be given the opportunity to testify before a magistrate.

If it turns out that Prophet is telling lies about Venter then Venter can take that up in a civil action against Prophet.

Prophet's affidavit follows below.

On the 17th of January the Cape Town Police notified Prophet that the case against Casper Hendrik Venter has been closed because the case has been withdrawn from the Cape Town Magistrate's Court and the reason given was "NOLLE PROSECUTE".

Above is the screen shot taken from Simon Prophet's cell phone notifying him that Mr Jacobs, the Senior Public Prosecutor of the Cape Town Magistrate's Court, is refusing to bring Venter to trial.

In Question Number 35 of Simon Prophet's appeal to the Judicial Service Commission, Simon Prophet accuses Casper Hendrik Venter of having lied and tells the Judicial Service Commission that the wheels of justice have started to turn in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court with criminal allegations of perjury against the National Director of Public Prosecutions' only supposed to be witness.

The day after this Question Number 35 above was submitted to the Judicial Service Commission then on the 17th January 2024 Prophet was informed that Casper Hendrik Venter was being let off the hook.

Prophet interprets this as an unlawful act deliberately played out in collaboration with the National Director of Public Prosecutions for the express purpose to derail Prophet's appeal to the Judicial Service Commission.

Of course Prophet may be wrong but Prophet has shown in meticulous detail how the National Director of Public Prosecutions has relied on Venter's affidavits and specifically to a great extent on the alleged lies contained in 2 of Venter's affidavits that were submitted into the Cape Town High Court.

On face value, it does appear that Venter did tell crucial lies on more than one occasion, so then a trial that confirmed guilt would leave the National Director of Public Prosecutions with a lot of explaining to do and so this stands with its face exposed as the most logical conclusion why not to bring Casper Venter to face Simon Prophet's allegations which then serves to confirm Simon Prophet's suspicions as to why Casper Venter has been provided with an open door to evade the law.

If Casper Venter is innocent then what is there to fear? The National Director of Public Prosecutions should be only too glad to confirm Casper Venter's innocence but instead what we are witnessing is a cowardly display of abusing the right to trial and Simon Prophet's Constitutional right to access of the law by deliberately trying to conceal what really happened which in itself is a criminal act.

Simon Prophet has appealed to the Director of Public Prosecutions, to the Public Protector, to the South African Human Rights Commission and to the Judicial service Commission all to no effect.

Simon Prophet's complaints against Casper Venter are being submitted to the International Criminal Court and although they are not, in themselves, considered to be crimes against humanity, and although they have not yet been confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt, there is nevertheless a strong prima facie case that Casper Hendrik Venter has presented lies made under oath and that the National Director of Public Prosecutions has deliberately tried to conceal these criminal allegations and that the criminal allegations are true and it will be important to reveal to the International Criminal Court how these alleged criminal lies have been deliberately, slyly and wrongly manipulated to make it seem justifiable and plausible that Simon Prophet should have been made to suffer in the way that he has. 

It's not enough that Venter lied about Prophet in 2001. Being consistent to his real personality, again, in 2020, Casper Hendrik Venter displays his true colours by telling more lies about Prophet to academic circles.

His lies, painful though they may be to Prophet, have been useful in that they serve to support the criminal allegations of perjury against Venter and these lies are also being submitted to the International Criminal Court to assist in further establishing to support and to confirm the truth regarding the alleged criminal acts committed by the National Director of Public Prosecutions.

Despite the attitude adopted by Mr Jacobs, the Senior Public Prosecutor of the Cape Town Magistrate's Court, it should be clear to anyone and everyone that with all the motive necessary and on a balance of probabilities and a reasonable suspicion then Casper Hendrik Venter is definitely guilty of having committed perjury in 2 different court affidavits that were submitted to the Cape Town High Court.

With all the above being true then why let an alleged criminal escape so easily from the wheels of justice?

The civil courts condemned and punished Simon Prophet on the basis of hearsay allegations which under scrutiny and proper examination are nothing more than fictitious and fabricated lies according to the convincing evidence that has been put forward by Simon Prophet and when Simon Prophet's plausible allegations prove to be true beyond a reasonable doubt then all hell will break out and is this a reasonable suspicion as to why Mr Jacobs has not brought Casper Hendrik Venter before a Magistrate to answer to Simon Prophet's allegations because Mr Jacobs is deliberately breaking the law to protect Mr Jacobs's employer, the National Director of Public Prosecutions?

Has Mr Jacobs played his part to conceal and cover up International Crimes against Humanity? Has Mr Jacobs made himself complicit in these alleged crimes against humanity?

When presented with all the facts along with all the warnings that have been put to Mr Jacobs then how is the International Criminal Court going to interpret Mr Jacobs decision to not bring Casper Hendrik Venter to trial to answer Simon Prophet's allegations?

The plot thickens when we learn that it was the same Mr Jacobs who represented the wrong doing of the drug police when Simon Prophet brought a court order to force the return of Simon Prophet's articles that had been unlawfully destroyed by the drug police.

All of this information is being put before the International Criminal Court.
