Terwyl die voormalige prokureur Peet Viljoen Woensdag in die hof verskyn vir sy borgtogaansoek, het BackaBuddy intussen \u2019n fondsinsamelingsveldtog vir sy regskostes van sy platform verwyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viljoen staan tereg op sowat 400 aanklagte, waaronder bedrog en korrupsie. Die staat glo hy is verbind aan \u2019n beweerde skema waarin munisipale eiendomme onwettig verkoop is deur middel van dopmaatskappye en vervalste dokumente. Die staat het aangedui dat hy die borgtogaansoek sal teenstaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die fondsinsameling is vroe\u00ebr deur Viljoen se vrou, Mel, van stapel gestuur om geld vir sy regskostes in te samel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voordat die veldtog gesluit is, het dit net meer as R3 000 ingesamel. Die meerderheid openbare boodskappe wat saam met donasies geplaas is, was ondersteunend van aard, met skenkers wat die egpaar sterkte en ondersteuning toegewens het gedurende die regsproses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nie alle reaksies was egter positief nie. Een skenker het R20 bygedra met die kommentaar: \u201cEk dog julle is miljoen\u00ears.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besoekers aan die veldtogblad word nou met \u2019n kennisgewing gegroet wat lui dat die veldtog gesluit is \u201cin ooreenstemming met BackaBuddy se platformstandaarde en bepalings en voorwaardes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die organisasie s\u00ea die besluit is geneem om donateurs, veldtogskeppers en die integriteit van die platform te beskerm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBesluite soos hierdie word nooit ligtelik geneem nie en word geheel en al gelei deur ons verbintenis tot billikheid, deursigtigheid en vertroue op die platform,\u201d lui die kennisgewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BackaBuddy het ook bevestig dat donasies wat nie kwalifiseer nie, tans sistematies aan skenkers terugbetaal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel die platform nie die spesifieke rede vir die verwydering bekend gemaak het nie, bepaal sy bepalings en voorwaardes dat veldtogte verwyder kan word indien dit nie bevredigend geverifieer kan word nie, regs- of reputasierisiko\u2019s inhou, of die integriteit van die platform kan benadeel. Die platform behou ook die reg voor om veldtogte op te skort of te sluit indien dit nie aan sy vereistes voldoen nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die verwydering van die fondsinsameling kom te midde van toenemende openbare belangstelling in Viljoen se strafsaak, wat steeds voor die hof dien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die hofverrigtinge rakende sy borgtogaansoek duur voort, terwyl die staat aanvoer dat die aantygings teen hom ernstig is en verband hou met die beweerde onwettige verkoop van munisipale eiendomme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
