"It is the late 1980s. Serious allegations surface against three prominent National Party cabinet ministers, one of them the second-most powerful man in the country. They are, it is said, regularly abusing young boys on an island just off the coast of Port Elizabeth. From opposite ends of South Africa, a brave cop and a driven journalist investigate. Mark Minnie and Chris Steyn independently uncover evidence of a dark secret. But the case only surfaces briefly before it disappears completely. Thirty years later, the two finally connect the dots to expose this shocking story of criminality, cover-ups and official complicity in the rape and possible murder of children, most of them vulnerable and black.
THAT LAST BIT SOUNDS ERRILY FAMLIAR.
August 13th, 2018, a very good man of genuine courage died. There is an official claim that he died by suicide. But that does not comport with the man he was nor the life he was leading.
Perhaps it was the very difficult childhood he endured which caused him as a police detective to work so tenaciously on the South African pedophile ring in the nineteen eighties, a ring which exploited young boys for aberrant sexual behaviors. He co-authored a book thirty years later exposing the truth of that nest of deviants. Such deviants are still a plague upon societies as a world-wide pedophile cabal uses children for sick, perverted behaviors and as a means to empower their political, social, economic, and religious influences infecting Western Civilization. Their deviancy cannot be normalize so they have leverage over individuals when linked to such aberrant behaviors.
In the nineteen eighties, Mark Minnie focused upon the criminality of such deviants. He exposed the surface of a very nasty sewer and when he decided to write the truth of this sewer, his life came to an abrupt end. He was at the pinnacle of his life, with a soon to be best selling book launched in August, 2018, and a sequel planned to expose even more.
Suicide is a cowardly act, using a permanent solution for temporary problems. Mark Minnie was no coward. Retired policeman, Mark Minnie was a man with longer vision than the temporary. As a member of South African special military forces, Mark Minnie served his fellow countrymen because it was the right thing to do. Having committed to exposing the evil of pedophilia, he would not have abandoned his work with a suicide.
The circumstances of Mark Minnie’s death are, at the very least, suspicious. A renowned forensic investigator has been brought into this case, to examine the particulars. Final judgment of the issues should be suspended until the South African Police work and the forensic investigation is completed. Those who knew Mark Minnie over his lifetime do not believe he took a cowards exit from the challenge he chose to engage. We thank the South African Police for their efforts in investigating the suspicious death of a fellow officer.
Rest in Peace, brother Mark. You will always be a hero and your challenge will not go wanting.
