Radovan Krejčer was heavily involved with a chain of strip clubs known as Teazers and involved in importing women to work in these clubs, with attempts on the investigator's life linked to this case.
“I had identified Radovan Krejčer as being heavily involved with a gentleman from a chain of strip clubs known as Teazers . And I had identified that he was involved with importing , for want of a better expression , ladies to work in these type of clubs . And I was trying to get the police to take action against him .

Alekos Panayi, bank manager for Cypress Bank in South Africa, was involved in money laundering between Radovan Krejčer and Lolly Jackson, which led to the murder of Lolly Jackson.
“Alekos Panayi , who was the bank manager for Cypress Bank in South Africa , who was doing money laundering between Radovan Krejčer and Lolly Jackson . And that is what led to the murder of Lolly Jackson”
Radovan Krejčer presented a fake document indicating he had transferred money into Cypress Bank, but he did not transfer any money; Lolly Jackson handed over a duffel bag full of cash with no corresponding bank transfer, causing animosity that led to the murder of Lolly Jackson.

Mr O'Sullivan found out that General Mabasa's wife was in business with Radovan Krejčer’s wife and that they were directors of the same company, suggesting possible corruption.
“I immediately found out that General Mabasa's wife was in business with Radovan Krejčer's wife . They were directors of the same company . And I could not think of any logical reason other than it was to conceal some form of corruption .”
Krejčer murdered Lolly Jackson with multiple gunshots, and General Mabasa was involved later at the crime scene as part of a conspiracy to cover up the murder committed in the presence of George Luca aka George Smith.
“General Mabasa was later at that crime scene as part of a conspiracy to cover the fact that Mr Krejčer himself had murdered Jackson in the presence of Mr George Luca aka George Smith.”
Krejčer shot Lolly Jackson multiple times after lunging for a forged Swift transfer held by Jackson, then kicked Jackson in the chest and verbally abused him before shooting many more times.
“Krejčer lunged forward to grab the Swift transfer from Jackson, who held it out of reach. At this point, Krejčer pulled out a firearm and shot Jackson once. Jackson fell ... Krejčer crossed the floor towards him standing over him and kicked him in the side of his chest and said the following words to him: “You want to know who I am? I will show you who I am, you effing cockroach.” Krejčer then proceeded to fire many shots into Jackson.”
After murdering Lolly Jackson, Krejčer forced a witness to call General Mabasa and report the murder, revealing that Krejčer and Cyril were present at the murder scene.
“I got back into the car and drove away ... calling General Mabasa from my phone, telling him ... that Krejčer killed Jackson, and to ask for his help. He asked me who was present at the time of Jackson's murder and I told him that Krejčer and Cyril were there.”
General Mabasa was aware of and involved in attempts to manage a dispute between Radovan Krejčer and Lolly Jackson, including facilitating a meeting.
“Mabasa knew of the problems between Krejčer and Jackson having already been approached by Jackson to intervene and assist in facilitating a meeting with Krejčer.”

“Mr Krejčer, because of his corrupt friends in the police, considered himself above the law and therefore free to engage in any criminal activity he chose, including not limited to murder.

Police officers started helping Krejčer smuggle cigarettes from Zimbabwe to South Africa and he later used them for drug trafficking, but there is no substantiation for the drug trafficking allegation.

Colonel Steyn received a substantial loan from Radovan Krejčer and committed a serious offence under Act 12 of 2004, warranting urgent investigation and suspension from duties.

Colonel Steyn supplied Radovan Krejčer with the speaker's cellular phone records in 2011, putting the speaker's life at risk.
“I can now prove that Steyn supplied Krejčer with my cellular phone records thereby further putting my life at risk. Back in 2011 ... I have written to the Hawks requesting that Steyn be suspended and stand trial along with Krejčer for their disgusting conduct”
Colonel Steyn was not suspended or dismissed around 2013 as expected but was seen sitting at the Commission and talking about drug trafficking, allegedly being on the payroll of a drug trafficker via money received from Radovan Krejčer in 2011.
“I nearly fell off my Chair because I thought he had been suspended and dismissed back in 013. And now I suddenly saw him sitting at this Commission ... and now he is talking about drug trafficking. He was working, he was on the payroll of a drug trafficker, in my opinion, back in 2011 because he received this money from Radovan Krejčer. So now suddenly a complete turnaround”
The period in which cellular phone records were obtained coincides with Radovan Krejčer being arrested and raided in Bedfordview, suggesting a link between the records obtained and Krejčer's criminal activities.

“Colonel Steyn admitted to receiving the loan in question, but claimed not to have been aware that the company providing it was linked to Mr Krejčer ... Colonel Steyn says Mr Beeka had undertaken to arrange a loan for him through this company”
Colonel Steyn's explanation for the loan is feeble and could not reasonably be true according to the speaker, referencing a Mail and Guardian article and a company controlled by Radovan Krejčer.
“His story was not only feeble, but it could also not be reasonably true ... you have referenced this company, Groep Twee Beleggings, which is a company you say the articles say it is controlled by Mr Krejčer ... Colonel Steyn said Mr Beeka had undertaken to arrange a loan for him through this company ... you then conclude based on the explanation he gave, that this explanation is not only feeble, but it could also not be reasonably possibly true”
