The plot thickens by the day and the clock is ticking on the apparent inability of the police to solve the bloody assassination of South African mining magnate Brett Kebble.

Claims of bungling detective work abound amid allegations of panic in high SA Police Service (SAPS) circles if certain information regarding the activities and connections of Kebble’s “circle of friends" is exposed by this KeyNews investigation.

An independent probe by KeyNews indicates that the people who may have been behind the murder on September 27 are members of the same “Old Boys Club" that allegedly controls organised crime syndicates in Gauteng and has tentacles that not only stretch across South Africa, but are also firmly linked to international crime syndicates operating from London to Israel and parts of Europe.

The shadowy cabal is believed to have spun an intricate global spider’s web that involves illegal dealings in drugs, diamonds, extortion and club bouncers. Reliable sources told KeyNews they were also responsible for silencing Winnie Mandela’s best friend, Hazel Crane and the gruesome murder of her former husband, Shai Avissar – henchman of the Israeli mafia.

Crane and Kebble were both gunned down with a 9mm pistol. It is not clear if police have investigated whether or not the same weapon was used in both shootings. Although seven shots were fired at close range at Kebble, no one living in the up-market suburbs nearby heard anything. This could indicate that a silencer was used.

All but one of the bullets removed from Kebble’s body during the autopsy indicate that he was shot by a hand-gun expert who used ammunition specifically designed to inflict maximum damage.

One possibility is that Kebble was killed by someone who was with him in his luxury Mercedes Benz at the time. The police recovered 12 Camel cigarette butts around a large rock behind a tree next to the road where he was shot. The cigarette butts were sent for forensic analysis.

According to reliable sources, Kebble may have been assassinated due to mounting pressure being placed by an individual who was “very close to him" on certain foreign shareholders with possible links to the Israeli mafia.

Contrary to popular belief, Kebble may not have died for diamonds, but rather for the lucrative and very long life of the South Deep gold mine. With Kebble out of the way, one of the richest gold mines in the world is up for grabs.

Among the growing number of questions regarding some of the issues and activities surrounding Kebble in the weeks before his death and immediately afterwards that the police are staying mum on, are the following:

About two weeks before Kebble’s death, one of his closest confidants walked into a top Johannesburg BMW dealership accompanied by a friend who is well known in bouncing circles. They had more than R2-million in cash in a suitcase. One of the men, who worked for Kebble, bought a brand new BMW M5 Snitcher, while the other purchased a BMW M3 CLS. The source of the cash has not been revealed.

A day after Kebble’s death one of his employees, a former murder and robbery detective, phoned the police and requested that the Mercedes Benz be released into his custody. The vehicle was moved on a low-bed truck to a panelbeater in the south of Johannesburg, where it was thoroughly cleaned and repaired. The BMW M3 buyer is alleged to be closely linked to the panelbeating concern.

Intelligence circles are abuzz with talk that some of Kebble’s closest confidants were regularly seen in the company of top-ranking police officers.

In the latest revelations of South Africa’s Spy vs Spy power struggle within the ruling ANC (African National Congress), it was revealed this morning that Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils has suspended two senior officials of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) for allegedly spying on Saki Macozoma, former ANC official-turned-businessman and confidant of President Thabo Mbeki. It is no secret that there was no love lost between Kebble and Macozoma, who the murdered man had claimed was one of a group of senior ANC members who plotted to prevent fired deputy president Jacob Zuma from succeeding Mbeki as president.

The two suspended NIA officials are deputy director-general Gibson Njenje and general manager: counter-intelligence Bob Mhlanga.

According to KeyNews sources a top ranking NIA official and a government minister were frequently seen having lunch with Kebble – as often as once a week.
