PI finds tangled business web in Q'town case

EAST LONDON -- Company searches by private investigator Christian Botha show that murdered Queenstown attorney Manie Beukes, his alleged killer Martin Greyvenstein, and close family members were all involved in more than one business venture.

Botha uncovered this information while trying to recover assets and money from the Queenstown attorney and his alleged killer which belonged to the widow of a slain boxing promoter and taxi boss Zolani Moshani.

According to a February 1 letter, signed on behalf of Greyvenstein, Pedimenta Investments CC claimed to own the movable assets of Gompo clinic nurse Vuyiswa Moshani.

A search of Pedimenta showed the members to be Sheryl Ursula Burmeister and Ernest George Littleford, partner of accounting firm Charteris & Barnes. Littleford however told Botha that it was a shelf company which had been sold to Beukes and Greyvenstein and of which the company records had not been updated.

Burmeister, whose address is given as PO Box 2105, Komani, is the daughter of Greyvenstein.

She has since changed her name back to Greyvenstein after her divorce. Yesterday she told the Daily Dispatch that she had no comment.

Greyvenstein's wife, Mathilda, is also the registered member of EMTH Power Systems.

Littleford is still mentioned as a member of this shelf company.

Mathilda Greyvenstein is also the sole member of Natgrey Irrigation Systems, a close corporation, the address of which is also listed as PO Box 2105, Komani.

A search of Erf 419 Kenton Beleggings, which took over ownership of two of Moshani's vehicles, showed the names of various members.

They include Beukes, the man who was allegedly shot by Greyvenstein, and Mathilda Greyvenstein. In the records she is still registered under Mckenzie, her former married name.

Other members are Johannes Albertus de Lange, Debbie-Ann de Lange, Magdalena Elizabeth de Lange, Peter Quentin Marais and Abraham van Zyl Bekker.

According to motor vehicle registration records a Mercedes Benz Sprinter, which belonged to Moshani, is now registered in the name of Kenton Beleggings.

Another of Moshani's Sprinters, which had been registered by Kenton Beleggings, has since been sold to the Dutch Reformed Church in Witbank.
