Fifty-Page Deposition

The Chairman of the Democratic Alliance -- the ruling party in our province -- some time ago recommended that I lay charges for intimidation. After discussing the matter with a number of attorneys, he wrote that this was the "only way" to go. I received similar recommendations -- if not orders -- among others from the Human Rights Commission. But I had not overcome the intimidation within. This was a big problem for me. Ten days ago, I finally laid charges for (severe) intimidation, and for anything else the police may find, making a fifty-page deposition to the police at Cape Town. However, I acted with restraint. I restricted the charges to the people I thought to be pivotal to the crime. Ten days later -- today -- the case is in a strange place. I know from close experience of the police how such matters normally unfold, and they haven't gone to plan. Among other things, a case was registered, yet there is no investigator to go with it, yet. OBSERVATION: While the intimidation against me was crafted in such a way that I should have no evidence, unforced errors handed me, I think, compelling evidence. The intimidation was conveyed to me in the name of the Church.

POSTSCRIPT: More than a fortnight later, there is some movement in this case, which suggests the appointment of an investigator.
