This is a story about the bad and the brave and how an investigator on a dark journey exposes shocking secrets at the heart of the South African National Defence Force. It’s a story that starts on the Cape coast, and takes him from Simonstown in the Western Cape to Phalaborwa in the North and then to a military base in South Africa’s capital city, Pretoria. While still unresolved, the investigation exposes a grouping of elite soldiers and SANDF officials who appear to operate above the law, engaging in illegal campaigns involving torture, politics, spycraft and even murder.

I have to say all of your journalists are are of such high quality in blows me away . I easily am critical. But to be honest all of your journalists are real class/ ladies and gentlemen . Also caring in the way the conduct there interviews . Better then American and British reporting . Well done to your whole team 👏
South Africans need to be deeply indebted to our amazing and courageous investigative journalists. Without them, we would have long ago reached a point of absolutely no return.
So true, no other african country has is!
I’ll happily rewatch this story from beginning to end because this type of journalism keeps people accountable 😊
Research gangstalking and targeted individuals
It's informing us. But no one is being held accountable. South Africa is a crime nest, and it won't get better.
No one is held accountable and nothing happened
you guys have just scratched the surface. I once had a soldier tell me straight to my face " we are the biggest gang in the country" and i believe him.
😳
Research gangstalking and targeted individuals
No son, the biggest gang and mafia is the government
Police senior officers are also the biggest gangsters.
What about USA but if SA you talk coz SAner talk.what about American
This is world class journalism
“If the ANC does to you what the apartheid government did to you, then you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid government”. 2024 Needs to be recorded as the year of change.
Words of Nelson Mandela
Such wisdom!
What does this had to do with the ANC
@@Wandie0sborne-er1zq Everything!
I love this UA-cam channel; the journalists are doing amazing work. But today after watching this episode I kinda fear for their safety. We live in a dangerous country.
Big Up to special forces, there is a reason why they're called special forces is to deal with extreme matters such funding ISIS group which are a threat to RSA's sovereignty and stealing military grades weapons . criminals have turned this country into their playing field, one enters a military base and steals the weapons then you expect the defense force to carry on as if nothing happened, an apple does not fall far from a tree and the next thing we cry about people who get killed by guns on the streets daily and we blame the state security for not doing their work and when they do still they get blamed. Must they massage a suspect? stop been weak and manipulated so easily South Africans. let the people who are trained to protect this country do their work.
most reasonable comment i've read.
You obviously don’t understand English as well as you can type it.
Very true.
True bro! Just imagine a person funding ISIS was walking freely in South Africa.
The most sensible comment in the whole thread!! Surely SA people have to realize that this is the very reaction most countries have to ISIS suspects?
So glad we still have an impartial media org brave enough to reveal these stories.
Like all organisations that fall under the direct control of the ANC government, the SANDF has been captured, and ANC cadres have been deployed into senior positions. The SANDF has the highest number of generals per members of any defence force in the world, with over 400 generals or equivalent level staff a grossly disproportionate number. Most of these political deployees are ANC cadres. As we approach an election year, we need to be mindful of this situation. My concern is that if the ANC were to lose power through the democratic process, they may seek to retain power through their political control of the military. You might think this is far fetched, but just remember that the ANC top 7 have all been and remain the subjects of investigation into very serious allegations of corruption and criminality, which they have hindered through their influence over the police force and judiciary. Don't believe that? Well what has become of the Zondo commission report recommendations?
Research gangstalking and targeted individuals
I hope you could have added the nats on the same drivel but we know what informs ur peanut sized mind.
The rot did not start with the ANC do ur own investigation before u make blanket statements.
You are 100% right, I do not see them losing an election gracefully.
Another reason why I don't think ANC will be easily removed from power
::You are basically describing what the CIA does everyday in the US and in other countries...
But with the current level of crime in the country, I kinda think that normal policing will never be able to handle the organized crime cartel operating in our country. This is the only way to go, as long as one is not involved in any criminality one has nothing to worry about. So far I only hear about them going after those involved in criminality except the hawks investigator.
SA definitely a crime scene + our leadership seriously involved from beginning to end!! All for Financial gains to the sky🤞🏽🥵
Research gangstalking and targeted individuals
Thank you for the valuable work you, Daily Maverick, Open Secrets and so many others do to keep these unscrupulous people accountable. Through your work our country might just survive! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Top tier journalism. Really disappointed in the SANDF. I've always accociated corruption to the SAPS to a certan extent but I have been a bit ignorant about the SANDF.SO disappointed to see how things really are but I guess its to be expected. R.I.P to the SAPS investigator who was proboably asking too many questions😪
HVE been happening since 2011 it just got out of hand over the years cos the wrong people were appointed in strategic positions for future cover ups
Strange how people are misinterpretating counter terrorism operations as kidnappings? And the Lady R was delivering 7.62, used by SA Special Forces in their AKMs in Mozambique, so it makes sense that they were at the collection point of ammunition THEY WOULD BE USING. I will say that if the other story is true, everyone responsible must be held liable, I just find it strange that now when there's an issue like "assassinations" the SASF operators are regarded as elite, but as soon as they are working in combat zones they "Aren't what they used to be".
It's called pushing narratives. You should be very careful whenever listening to such news, careful not to just take whatever is said as is
"Elite" is relative.
Years ago the Iraqi Republican Guard were described as the Elite I...R...G.... and while they might have been Elite in comparison to the rest of the rabble, objectively they never measured up.
I fear a similar situation applies to today's units.
@@markwillies7666 Not the case with our units, our "tier 1" assests are on par with the world's best. They are just very few in number and lack the funding that their international counterparts receive. If you compare based on budget you will see that SASF and STF are the best performing by a long shot, the STF is still in my opinion the best police unit in the world based on successful operations, deployment rotations, training and skills development, ect.
@@ginger0208 i disagree
@@reneroux2391 Sorry to burst your bubble, but ginger0208 is telling the truth.
SASF and STF are annually called on to train with other elite units from around the world, like the SAS/SBS, Delta Force, SEALs, 75th Ranger Regiment, Green Berets, GIGN, GSG9, GROM, RAID, FBI HRT, etc etc etc. From what I've heard, every single one of these units have praised our tier 1 assets on their impeccable training, professionalism, and discipline.
Side Note: One of my older cousins joined the French Foreign Legion. He told me that the French military has a great amount of respect for our tier 1 assets and also for some of our tier 2/3 assets such as the MARINES, Pathfinders, 7Med Bn Gp, 1 Tactical Intelligence Regiment, Parabats, and 6SAI.
Without journalists we would never get hear the story !!!
you Journalists need to get a medal patriots of this country put your life on the line !!!
Which story do we hear the journalists story or the truth.
Sounds like CIA shenanigans.
Kindly note that, due to a technical glitch in the original story, we've had to re-upload this insert.
Yeah, that was weird🤣. I thought the special forces's state security was at work😅
really.......
@@KimpusMaximus Lol yeah, you will never know.
I thought the SANDF took it down 😂
Anyone expecting roses and icing in the Military space is just delusional
Great work from the journalist fro taking on cases like this, because im pretty sure they're not safe either after this.
Research gangstalking and targeted individuals
I don't see the link between all this stories and the Russian ship Lady R,.. And where I can only see the special forces doing work to protect the country... All countries do it all
You have a point brother, I don't see anything wrong with our military taking charge
Black rule is making Apartheid look meek and mild. A tragic of massive proportions.
These journalists are always the first to complain when our security forces don't do anything, but when they do they go on to publicly expose their identities. They even said it themselves a member of ISIS on the CIA watch list, yet they complain when action is taken. And when last did we ever hear of a Islamic terrorist attack on South African soil, literary never, but yet we live in a continent filled with such attacks, yet we still complain.
And what did they expect the military to do when someone walks into a military base and steals their weapons for criminal activities, and yet we complain when to government fails to stop the movement of illegal firearms in the country.
And most importantly there is no evidence, just journalistic speculations. But I'm not surprised journalists in this country only care but the negatives, and making profit from fictional stories.
Are you not covering the rand manipulation by the banks?
It was not done by ANC so its not a story worth investigating their bosses are not interested in exposing their business partners and friends.
They can never investigate their friends
I am hearing so much about this need to find out more is it on you tube
@@kellyalexander7347 its not on any specific platform its just a mention here and there , you search for articles on Neil Phillips and standard chartered and those will lead you on to other related articles including the the sale of mediclinic . There's no one covering it as a whole its just bits and pieces
I was also wondering. What about the Rand manipulation. Write about it.
These are the same people that will complain when their SF don’t do anything to stop attacks, I did not see any evidence of wrong doing here all circumstantial and hearsay stuff, if you’re going to expose your elite soldiers have some solid evidence otherwise you’re just putting them at risk and can’t do the job they’re supposed to do.
Exactly..they say"funder of Isis"
M not surprised at all the ANC is the driver
Thanks for this
Looking forward to when @carteblanchetv covers a story on these security firms who think they have policing powers by pulling cars over, illegal searches and detentions in public of civilians. Not to mention the illegal use of firearms being pointed at innocent bystanders, sirens and flashing lights.on security vehicles, giving the public the idea that they are some type of recognized law enforcement authority. The videos of these actions are freely available on UA-cam.
Defence operations can't be carried out ordinarily
It was worrying for me if we didn't have such forces
I would like to see this Channel become the biggest show to be watched by SA. Carte Blanche for the voiceless
What is this coloured journalist name . Soo professional and very very goodlooking too does not hurt either . All the journalists are exceptional on this show .
@@GiNja_NiNjA_83 dankie ❤️
His name is Govan Whittles.
Govan Whittles
Excellent journalist !
Lol, I came here for the same thing. What a gorgeous professional man.
Yup he is a very goodlooking man . Lucky wife
They might assassinate "Pule Nkomo", this is terrible, hopefully he's safe. We'll continue praying for you guys,you doing a great job.
It's just a drop in the bucket. There boss is
our government. Cyral and his gangster mates
The Old Devon Military Base, has now turned into a prison. There are tunnels between the dam and the shooting range. Blood stained walls with victim names written in blood. Horrific.
This*
This is so interesting. Is this the SANDF base in Germiston? When I looked up Old Devon Military Base, that is what came up.
The next insurgent don't ask them why don't they act cause yall are first to expose them and their car in public
“apartheid style tactics - kidnapping an individual and thats the last time you’ll see or hear from them” - Yusuf Cassim, what a knowledgeable lawyer. LOL 😂
You mean Quatro camp tactics.
Carte Blanche is doing the lords work.
Top job, My hat off to the courageous team.
It's Mafia State indeed, something you won't see or hear about from the media. Can a minister who's clueless and not having credentials of the army, run and protect the Constitution as they're claiming too
Soldiers are sovereign citizens,i got couple of friends who are currently serving they told me stories that i cant publish🫣🤞
SA has become a gangster state getting worse by the day.
Only CB can investigate SADF 😂😂 Lot's of love from Tanzania here
I wish you can come here too😢
Where there is smoke, there is fire.
SO WHAT IS THE ANC GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS..... SA AT ITS BEST....
...
SANDF, SAPS, SSA, HAWKS, NPA are all the same.
South Africa is a hole action movie by itself
Remind me of the late 1980's and the CCB's operations.
It's like what happened to Steve Biko, so sad what's happening to our country 😢
Do one on SAPS more people including me have been tortured and abducted by SAPS than SANDF
Why where u kidnapped
Cry our beloved country. We defeated Apartheid and the security system thinking we would live in a free country. Now some of the security forces are doing the same kinds of things as in the dark old days. Very sad. As with all corruption, the few bad people must be rooted out
The actions of the army honestly cannot be questioned especially if you really look deep you will see that they are operating to protect the democracy, although sometimes innocent people end up being affected but they are doing it for the state
You cannot be serious. So we should just let the army do what they want and nobody questions it? How would you feel if they did this to your father or brother? Everybody should be held accountable for their illegal actions.
A Democracy that promotes coercive action to demand authority and impose control to silence individuals that stand for what's right?
That's really ironic don't you think?
SA is a movie😢
Yho we are in danger.
@@tebogogladystladi7129 we actually need people like this in order to fight ISIS
Scary movie
This is absolutely disgraceful!!!!!
The guy arrived in his car but was given a bus fare after 5 days 🤔
You can say that again mntase... A number of inconsistencies in that man's narrative
They said he told the military he came by bus
Stay safe everyone
Can we give Carte Blanche the power to arrest and prosecute. Maybe they can fix this country?
Great Story. The same people maybe the cause of what is happening to our country right now.
Lets not forget that every military does these kind of things. The military does everything in their power to protect SA and sometimes that means they have to do illegal activity to keep peace
It is very sad, heartbreaking and shameful after we have voted for a change from the regime to democracy, only to find out our supreme law is infringed by our security forces
One can't help but wonder if the Rear Admiral can even swim?
Ive Left SA Becouse of the threats from military Police,until today im still on the run..
duh, thats how spec ops work, maybe the guy they kidnapped they had intel on him being a terrorist
One of the most reasonable comments I’ve heard in here so far
they expect spec ops teams to be forthcoming with matters of national security. It's no diff to any other spec ops teams, deniability is the MO. For sure i would not be naieve to think it's not just pure corruption knowing what we know about our government.
@@InamMaqondose-ny8zf
This government is no better than Apartheid government... This one is worse.
You must be white or benefited from apartheid
They make them look like amateurs, i suspect the scale of this is huge, also i don't think they can protect this country against attacks from most of the africa countries
You can't say illegal surveillance when you have not seen the paperwork. Kudos to SANDF
Said the same about Libya then invaded it I small something fishy here we must strengthen our army
I don't understand what's new here and why is this an issue because in all countries it's like this, we don't live in a perfect world so everything will always be like this, the police ain't Nothing but a gang, the army is gang, the national guard is a gang like everyone Does whatever to get ahead, arms trafficking doesnt affect any South African, perhaps people in Rwanda or Congo with their war funded by those guns have a problem but not South Africans so like people should stick to reality because this so called perfect world in your mind isn't real and never will be
Special forces are just doing their job. Propaganda
You’d be amazed. I’ve heard stories from SANDF soldiers about their illegal operations and how they are responsible for most CIT heists in Limpopo.
This sounds like a ZanuPF in Zimbabwe. Atleast you guys stil have some laws protecting you 'we don't 'they own the army 'police. Courts. Tvs and everything. They are outlaws gangster
No marn this Mbatha needs to be investigated
What do you expect from a system of apartheid operatis which was never really abolished. The if it's not broken , why fix it... reasoning is costing the conutty dearly...
Anyone can do as they please in SA, as long as you are rich and you've got friends in high places, that's a public knowledge.
Do we have a special forces base in Simons Town?
Recce's living up to their namesake.
What political plot though? Who is behind these ops and to what end. The only organization i know of that has history playing these kinds of games and has no issue doing it, is the ANC.
You couldn't be any right, it's the Notorious ANC
This is unpatriotic, no sane person rebukes he's family in public.
Apartheud agaun hey look its jan ,wow amazing
How many govements do the exact same thing again?
This was the reason the hawks member was assasinated whilst driving on a highway he was uncovering this torture the russian ships n he was assassinated bcos he was about to expose a more sinister truth that is at play. He was also uncovering terrorism that was in play since 2011 as it got more deeper
Did you Carté Blanche of investigating the Dept. Of Defence's Health Dept. where our brown DOD members are mostly abuse by the system e.g. Standby weekends and only gets paid when they are called-out with no call-out allowance and when they can't even go out that weekend. Especially in Langebaan-weg Sickbay/hospital. In Saldanha-Navy /Military Academy base they build a Hugh Sickbay that is standing like a White Elephant unused for nearly most of a year. Investigate please.
My Cousin got murdered for opening up secrets working for the Army in Pretoria 😢 a year ago 😢😢❤ 4:13
Oh man I'm so sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in peace.
If you don't mind me asking, how did the authorities or spies find out your cousin revealed their secrets?
Sorry my dear for loosing your cousin
why did we fight against Apartheid? just to end up like this
Scary very scary, think of the next generation if this government is not going to change 😭😭😭
Wonder if theres not tunnels in SA also
New bosses, same atrocities.
What politician were they tryna to frame?
Bunch of criminals
All militarys in the world have units like this
Research gangstalking and targeted individuals
Do we still have a defense force.
The SANDF is still doing it😮
Sounds like CIA rules.
Yup Research gangstalking and targeted individuals
CIA dont get tailed by journalists. They mop up when they mess up. These SANDF intelligence guys are amateurs
ANC should have never ruled the country
The country is gone. We’re just another African failed state
I bet you if this was the case you weren't been able to type this post.
so you this country vulnerable to terrorist attacks
Yes it will be unlawful but sometimes these types of operations needed to save majority, security forces works from suspects
The RECCES are now all retired, this is the new South Africa, this is Africa
Terrible, howe er please note pre 1994 SADF acted against enemies of the State, not political opponents
Seems like you've uncovered the SANDF's black ops unit...
There is a tv series seal team
Should check it out
how are we supposed to feel safe and trust officials???
I wonder what more about my corrupt leaders here in Bw
Guess the question is where the lines of national security and clandestine work of the armed forces end. Happy they deal with terrorists but seems much collateral damage too.
what was this guy's crime to be tortured twice?
Refusing to lie under oath
Mabenna can't do this come on guys this is not Netflix 😂😅😅😅😭😂🥺🔥
lol
😂😂😂😂😂
