News24.com | Former top Stellenbosch detective weeps in dock as he appears for allegedly killing colleague

You Need Posted on by

A detective who in recent years solved three of Stellenbosch’s most high-profile murders on Monday found himself in the dock of the Franschhoek Magistrate’s Court on a culpable homicide charge.

Sergeant Marlon Appollis, now of the Anti-Gang Unit, allegedly shot and killed Sergeant David Hoffman while at Hoffman’s relatives’ home on Saturday night.

Appollis objected to an application for him to be photographed in the dock, saying he had “lost a friend” and did not want what happened to be turned into a “media frenzy”.

He said the cases he handled were sensitive and high profile and could result in his family and his own life being endangered.

Hoffman’s wife Ashley Carmelita also opposed the application, tearfully saying that she wouldn’t want to put Appollis’ family at risk.

“I know his children. I don’t want to be the reason his and their lives are in danger.”

Appollis wept in the dock.

The application by Netwerk24 was allowed.

The court heard that the senior State prosecutor had found that the evidence in the docket showed that a charge of culpable homicide was deemed appropriate after the docket contents were considered.

Social braai

The matter was postponed to September 26 for the director of public prosecutions to make a final decision on whether Appollis should face further charges.

According to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), which is probing a case of death as a result of police action, a 41-year-old suspect fatally shot his colleague, who police have identified as Sergeant David Hoffman, at a house in Franschhoek on Saturday at about 22:40.

“It is alleged that there was a social braai on a private premises, which was attended by both the deceased and the suspect,” IPID spokesperson Sontaga Seisa said.

“The two police officials were off duty.”

At the braai, Seisa said it was alleged that the suspect “pulled his service firearm and shot dead colleague”.

The bullet is understood to have hit Hoffman in the head.

Van Breda, Cornelius and Rohde investigations

“The motive of the killing is still unclear. The IPID investigation is continuing.”

Appollis was one of Stellenbosch’s top detectives before he was transferred to the Anti-Gang Unit.

In July 2018, the court sentenced Henri van Breda to three life sentences for using an axe to murder his mother, father, and brother at De Zalze Estate in 2015. The motive for the murder is still unknown.

Later that year, three men were sent to jail for the murder of Hannah Cornelius, whose body was found in May 2017 at Groenhof farm, roughly 20 minutes outside of Stellenbosch, where she had been raped and stabbed.

He was also the investigating officer in the case of Jason Rohde, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for murdering his wife of 22 years, Susan Rohde, in a hotel just outside Stellenbosch in July 2016.

Zondo asks Nxasana if he ever reached out to Jiba or Mrwebi, or even Advocate Sibongile Mzinyathi, to improve relations between them. Nxasana says yes, he even invited Jiba out for coffee once, but she “just smiled” and it never happened.

Nxasana says he also reached out to Mrwebi, but it didn’t work. Nxasana says during a trip to London, he tried to greet him every day, but it did not bear any fruit. 

Nxasana, however, says that Jiba and Mrwebi were very nice to him, face to face, which he found odd given their attitudes towards him behind the scenes.

ICYMI: 

Estina dairy project: The intention was never realised, Zondo Commission hears 

The intended beneficiaries of the Estina dairy farm project have no legal documentation to prove they are beneficiaries and therefore, no legal recourse.

This was according to state capture inquiry evidence leader, advocate Leah Gcabashe, who grilled former Free State Department of Agriculture head, Peter Thabethe on the failed project.

The commission was discussing a partnership agreement between Estina and the department. However, the beneficiaries were not part of the agreement.

At the time the agreement was signed, they had already identified the land but had not yet gone through the formalities of acquiring the land.

Zondo commission: Taxpayers’ money wasted on ‘bright idea’ 

Taxpayers’ money was wasted on an unnecessary trip to India in pursuit of the Estina dairy farm project, the commission of inquiry into state capture heard on Thursday.

A 2012 trip to India, taken by former Free State department of agriculture head Peter Thabethe and Ashok Nayaran, the adviser to former premier Ace Magashule, had commission head Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo questioning its merits.

The trip, Thabethe confirmed, was undertaken by his department.

Zondo questioned why Nayaran had to accompany Thabethe on the trip.

ICYMI: 

Estina dairy project’s plan ‘inconsistent, unrealistic’, state capture inquiry hears 

Agricultural economist Andries Maree has told the commission of inquiry into state capture that it did not make sense to run the Estina dairy project in the Free State, as the area was not conducive to dairy farms.

On Monday, Maree continued his testimony on his analysis of Estina’s proposed business plan and feasibility study on the establishment of the dairy farm.

Most notably, the business plan stated Estina would fund the project in its entirety, but went on to request a R100m grant from the government.

Maree said this was confusing. “If a project is commercially viable and sustainable, why would you request the government to put grants into that? That’s not a reconcilable comment for me.”
