He was a model citizen in the farming community of Barkly East in the Eastern Cape. A God-fearing commercial farmer with a loyal circle of friends. He was wealthy, too, by all accounts and promised similar riches for some of his closest friends and several others from a lucrative investment project. It was a simple blueprint: his investors would buy cattle and sheep and he would farm them on their behalf. Leaning on their shared religious devotion, his investment base grew impressively and his scheme blossomed into a multi-million rand operation. Then, as they so often do, things turned sour and what appeared a legitimate and profitable business imploded. The investors, the majority of whom are pensioners, lost everything. Carte Blanche investigates.

The story is incomplete, we are not told what happened to Piet and his investors

[@ThamiNdlalane]

The problem with these people, just like the corrupt anc scammers, they never get arrested or ever stay in jail.

[@esahm373]

Govan is a great addition to the team. Always liked his reporting style, very straightforward and inquisitive, yet gentle.

[@michaelgerardcondon8531]

Yes great journalistic style and compassionate personality. Great role model

[@soopastylin1932]

Agreed he is great ... nice one carte blanche

[@Ca55-WP]

What an incredibly sad story but also yet another reason why people need to stop trusting random friends with their life savings.

[@glennborrageiro6257]

He says he can not even buy a packet of salt but certainly does not look like he is starving.

[@chumaninxazonke117]

He bought a bakkie with the salt money!

[@ARenewedmind]

but he bought a bakkie!!

[@Dude-1689]

😂😂😂 118 cattle all washed by the flood

[@esahm373]

😂😂😂

[@ncedisafeni351]

And just bought a bakkie

[@stephenhubber9184]

The law always seems to favour the person with the best lawyers.

True. He who throws the most money at the courts is he who eventually wins...

If the law was equal for all. We wouldn't need lawyers. All of us would represent ourselves.

[@colinchiorobertson5824]

😢 this is so sad as I've recently been hit by the same storm as this of what Piet is doing, my heart goes out to this people and like Pastor said there are many Piets in this world of which is testimony for myself nonetheless, I opened a case and now have court case with value of R244 000 which i know i will never see a cent off however i will be greatful to see this guy behind bars. All the best to everyone who was scammed by this and our Lord Almighty will give back unto us in due time🙏

[@Norv08]

Shame, poor Piet. You should have made it clear to the dealer that you will only buy the new bakkie on one condition - that they gooi a packet of salt in to sweeten the deal.

[@nyelimane]

as a livestock owner it pains me to see elders wronged like this, Piet should be ashamed

[@XBooks.]

He is ashamed didn't you notice... But rich too😁😜😂😂😂

[@stblad3]

I like this reporter!!! He reminds me of Devi, years ago. Take no nonsense!!

[@MrMattiepan]

Devi was a pitbull. Loved her. No nonsense journalism

[@solwazipohlo9948]

In terms of the Companies Act, all directors/shareholders and members of a CC must be natural persons ad therefore I think the lawyers should consider claiming against the estate of the Trust and the CC. All the need to proof is the money flow, thus subpoena the banking records of all related entities

[@nicolaasprinsloo8176]

I cant help but to say this is actualy an extremely dum thing to do. So happy to hear the farm hands reveal the truth.

[@nchabelengspeaks5023]

So he gets to keep assets over 40 million rands without any insurance? What a wow🙆🏻‍♀️

[@douglasherron7534]

Used to watch Carte Blanche regularly when I lived in Jo'burg in the '90's. Sad that the great Derek Watts has passed away, but delighted that in Govan the producers appear to have found another of the same mould.

[@jasonb6969]

Like a copy paste situation, Love both of them❤

[@nomxhosapekani7966]

Piet is not a Boer, he's a Phara with a bible in hand like Bushiri😪😪

[@diniellosimons]

The lord shall deal with Piet🙏

[@YouTubeGlobalAdminstrator]

Which lord of which religion?

[@desertstar223]

That's the problem with your type. The lord is the solution to all problems. Why don't people use their brains and solve their own problems. Maybe then they will not become victims of skelms like Piet.

[@garagepie]

Put him behind bars, skelm!

[@timothymitchell6219]

Justice must be served. Get all of his farm-workers together and let them deal with him for the unpaid overtime. Then, if there is anything left, force him to work for free for those he stole from, for the rest of his days.

[@GitariNganga-um1oe]

Poor innocent people. Looking at his body while saying he can't afford packet of salt.

Innocent but not poor 😂😂😜

Heartbreaking

[@yr2180]

This happens often. My mom in law used to farm and the storied she tells is horrible. Some of these farmers are nothing different from the ANC

That a man can get away with so many lies and deception is mind-blowing

[@annanievandenberg398]

I grew up on a farm. Even though I didn'd marry a boer, I still think of myself as one. I am deeply ashamed when a person like Piet acts the way he does. Fraudster sies! 😢
