SA: Crime: Thief disputes crime record – Oh he does, does he?

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

A Parkwood man convicted of stealing goods worth R589 from Makro in Ottery has denied 21 previous theft convictions and violating parole conditions.

A fingerprint expert will examine records of convictions of people with similar names to settle the matter.

Branden Henderson Biza, 27, who was found guilty on the latest theft charge on February 8, was in Wynberg magistrate’s court for sentencing on Thursday.

He told magistrate Goolam Bawa that he only had two previous convictions of theft.

Henderson had pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing goods, including a pair of boots, three coloured pens and three vice-grips, from Makro.

During Thursday’s hearing, prosecutor CJ Turner handed in Henderson’s criminal record and asked for a postponement so a fingerprint expert could confirm the convictions.

According to police records, “Hanson Brendon Lesley” was first convicted of theft and fined R900 or three months’ imprisonment suspended for three years, in Wynberg magistrate’s court on January 1, 2003.

Eight months later, “Williams Brandon Hanson” was convicted of theft and sentenced to a R300 fine or 30 days’ imprisonment, and 30 days’ imprisonment suspended over five years.

There are 19 more convictions and sentences, each with either variations of Biza’s name or of “Sieward Ashley”.

Biza had also allegedly left the Cape Peninsula without his correctional supervisor’s permission.

The matter was postponed until June 4.
