[How ridiculous is this? Funny that the ID wants to investigate CESA but why aren’t they jumping at the Selebi issue? Or what about that hardcore criminal who is the FIRST EVER criminal to escape from a MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON? They now say that it could only have been an INSIDE JOB! (Don’t be surprised if our Prison Wardens aren’t also on variou organised crime payrolls!).

Watson/Juan of CESA may have his issues but he’s not involved in ORGANISED CRIME! Yet these assholes in parliament are willing to waste their time looking at a one-man website but there is so much real crime (murder, etc) going on – not to mention this huge JACKIE SELEBI/MBEKI issue. So they want to throw Neil/Juan out of the country? Who are they? He has as much right to be here as anyone else. Is that not an infringement of his HUMAN RIGHTS? Let’s not lose focus on THAT! I’m extremely suspicious about MBEKI now – I will comment on this more. Jan]

KWAZULU-NATAL “ A motion will be tabled in Parliament calling for an investigation into the running of the controversial Crime Expo South Africa (Cesa) website.

Simon Grindrod, a spokesman for the Independent Democrats, made headlines when he offered the creators of the Cesa website a one-way ticket out of South Africa paid for out of his own pocket.

The website details alleged crime stories and statistics.

Grindrod said his offer stood and his party would propose in Parliament that authorities investigate the site.

Said Grindrod: œThis man is a transparent fraud… it™s almost certain the website is run by Juan Uys of the self-styled Gay and Lesbian Alliance of South Africa.

He continued: œThe advertising, sponsors and the SMS messages the website asks people to send, at R3 a time, could have made him hundreds of thousands of rands.

œIn addition the man has done serious harm to the reputation and image of our country.

œHe has seized on an emotional issue knowing he could exploit it to his own benefit at the cost of the rest of the country, and our tourist industry.

The Cesa website asks for donations to keep going, claiming that it is run from the US.

Christopher Backeberg, chief operating officer of Web Weavers, a South African Internet hosting company, told The Citizen what Internet hosting cost.

He said a site with all the bells and whistles could be hosted for just R138 a month.

In the US, where this website purports to be hosted, costs are even lower at around $12 a month.

There is simply no way hosting a website like this costs tens of thousands.

Last week The Citizen revealed that donations to the Cesa website appeared to be pocketed by Juan Uys personally.

But the site is ever-popular and it seems yesterday it was hacked.
Visitors were re-directed to a site with a similar name, crimexposouthafrica.wordpress.com.

The new site carried a number of articles attacking the creators of the original site.

The opposition site accuses the Cesa website of being racist, divisive and fraudulent.

It carries pictures of Juan Uys of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance and supports a story first broken by The Citizen that Juan Uys and Neil Watson, creator of the Cesa website, are the same person.
By 4pm the site was functioning normally again.

The Citizen has not been able to establish who set up the rival site, as its details have not yet been uploaded onto Internet data-bases.
Grindrod said he was delighted to hear of the hacking.
