The UK Sunday Times has revealed that convicted fraudster Niko Shefer were involved in the mining deal with Brinkley Mining and the DRC Government declared Shefer persona-non-grata in the DRC, he were identified already in 2003 in a UN Security Council Report regarding the Exploitation of the Mineral Wealth of the DRC, Shefer who were convicted for fraud in 1994 after he has defrauded Trust Bank RSA out of R48 Million and served six (6) years in jail, in October 2006 Shefer entered into a plea bargain with the National Prosecuting Authority of SA, after being changed for Fraud, Theft, Corruption, Bribery and Contravening the SA Companies Act by illegally acting as a Director of tien (10) Companies, of which a famous one was Tandan Holdings he used to defraud investors out of millions and Metorex Mining a RSA JSE Listed Company paid Shefer`s creditors on behalf of Shefer in 2007 after they the AM3 Investors threathened Metorex with its DRC Ruashi transaction with Shefer via Sentinelle Global Investments.

Shefer pleaded guilty in Case 1645/2004 Shefer VS Director of Public Prosecutions, Transvaal & Another and paid a fine and got a suspended sentence, he pleaded guilty on bribery, fraud,corruption and illegally acting as a director of several companies.

Shefer goes a long way of defrauding people, in a publication named The Adventure Capitalist published on www.publicintegrity.org it came clear of his involvement in the DRC as well, Shefer who is allways assisted by his auditor Douw Van Der Merwe Viljoen of Ashton Chartered Accountants in Pretoria with all his company registrations also became Shefer`s co-shareholder of Sentinelle Global Investments (Pty)Ltd with the Taniko Trust-Shefer`s family trust and the Villon Trust-Viljoen`s family trust scooping a staggering R327,000,000-00 (Thre Hundred and Twenty Seven Million SA Rands) from JSE / LSE / NYSE Listed Metorex Mining by selling the DRC Ruashi Mining Rights to Metorex.

Except for the Brinkley Mining deal, the following Concessions were also signed with the DRC Government by Shefer`s partner a mere accountant with zero mining knowledge or equipment to mine obvious to scoop another bag of millions from other mining companies:

1: JOINT VENTURE - L`ENTERPRISE MINIERE DE KISENGE MANGANESE - SENTINELLE INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD, with a Seychelles office address represented by DVDM Viljoen and Zac Mulumba Mashala a former Gecamines employee and involved in the Metorex-Ruashi-CMC-Sentinelle Global Investments-Ruashi Holdings deal, apparantly busy negotiating with Cluff Mining PLC a UK Listed Company - Mwana Africa Holdings

2: CONTRAT D`AMODATION OFFICE DES KILO-MOTO et BLUE ROSE sprl, Blue Rose sprl also having a south-african address represented by DVDM Viljoen

3: CONTRAT D`AMODATION OFFICE DES MINES D`OR DE KILO-MOTO et TANGOLD sprl, represented by DVDM Viljoen and Zac Mulumba Mashala

The question remains how do the DRC Government allow a convicted criminal and a mere accountant to get mining rights and sell it for millions od dollars, this millions is money that belongs to the DRC Citizens, Shefer neither Viljoen possess any mining company and just sign contracts with the DRC Government and sell this mining rights, this is corrupt and must be investigated and stopped, by decalaring Shefer persona-non-grate in the DRC means nothing he and DVDM Viljoen as well as Zac Mulumba Mashala must be blacklisted to sign any contracts regarding DRC Mining Rights, its a corrupt scandal that the DRC Government betray their poor citizens and allow these people to sell the mining rights belonging to the drc citizens for their own financial greed.

The facts arouns Shefer/DVDM Viljoen/Ruashi/DRC we placed here , we are a team investigating corruption in the DRC especially with mining rights and have documented proof of every fact contained in this statement, it just amazes me that the UN Sceurity Council, Bretton Woods Foundation, Carter Foundation, World Bank, etc can allow Shefer, DVDM Viljoen and Metorex getting away with this especially after the Brinkley Mining deal with Shefer, that R327,000,000-00 Shefer received from Metorex is a bigger scandal and by far more worse that the Brinkley mining deal, the UK Sunday Times reported on that deal between Brinkley Mining and Shefer but the London Stock Exchange /JSE/ NYSE Metorex were handled with blind eyes, as said we have documented proof of every fact contained and posted here.

Shefer`s friend DVDM Viljoen used this adresses in their ,,DRC Contracts:

Sentinelle International Group Ltd - 202 Sham Peng Tong Plaza, Victoria, Mahe, Seychelles for EMK-Mn contract

Blue Rose Investments - 275, Linden rd, Strathoven, Sandton RSA - for Kilo-Moto Contract, and busy dealing with MOTO GOLDMINES Company of Australia / Canada - listed on the UK LSE as well, www.motogoldmines.com

Tangold sprl - p/a Mr. Serge Kabeya, Gerant, B.P 10.270 KIN I, Loc 2, Imeuble 30 juin, Boulevard du 30 Juin, Kinshasa C/Gombe, RDC and Greendale Universal Holdings Ltd, Tropic Isle Building, Wickhams Cay 1, Roadtown, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (BVI)

Now you tell me why will a normal south-african auditor based in Pretoria ,RSA, and Niko Shefer, have addresses in the Seychelles and British Virgin Islands, also the Cobalt Metals Company address in St.Vincent & The Grenadines Islands, to do their DRC Transactions, .... this smells rotten and people who know how money laundering tacticts work , how funds is washed in accounts you can only guess what the reason is.

Readers may have been intrigued to read, over the past year and a half, the musings of a diligent contributor writing under various pen-names, including “Sukiyaki” and “Reporter”.

His contributions, posted on Mineweb and Moneyweb’s Soapbox blog, professed to provide insight into mining activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But in essence, they were made up of gross untruths about South African mining company Metorex and South African-based entrepreneur Niko Shefer, interspersed with the writer’s own opinion.

The true identity of “Sukiyaki”, “Reporter” and Newbie is Frans van Jaarsveld, principal deponent of a company called Identiguard, which for several years has unsuccessfully tried to pursue a civil claim against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The “Sukiyaki”, “Reporter” and Newbie postings emanate from an Mweb email address, ronen@mweb.co.za, which is registered in the name of one Elna van Jaarsveld, a resident of Victoria Bay Avenue in George. Elna’s husband is Identiguard owner Frans van Jaarsveld.

For years, Van Jaarsveld has tried to argue that Metorex and Shefer should be held liable for a claim of lost income against the Congolese government, which cancelled a security contract with him several years ago. Van Jaarsveld has argued, unsuccessfully, that Metorex and Shefer should pay him out because they (unlike him) have contracts with the Congolese government. His claim was based on the bizarre premise that Metorex and Shefer are legal extensions of the Congolese government, because they have obtained mining rights from a Congolese parastatal.
But there are so many holes in Van Jaarsveld’s argument that judicial opinion has consistently gone against him, and he has failed to convince even junior counsel that he has a rightful claim.

Van Jaarsveld refuses to heed judicial and legal opinion, and resorts to his own “hoax email campaign” in attempts to smear the people he can’t beat in court. It is almost bordering on extortion.....
