Day 52 (if I'm not mistaken) Today Jaco Pietersen was on the stand. The fifth witness for the defence. Advocate Galloway objected to him testifying, questioning his relevance to the case as his involvement at De Zalze ended in February 2014. He worked at De Zalze for over a year as well as for Thorburn. He had previously worked for SAPS. Advocate Botha asked him about the insufficient camera coverage at De Zalze, as only 35% of the fencing is under camera surveillance. He said the fencing was a security concern because the fence was old and not quite as effective as modern fencing. The bridge at Kleine Zalze was also a concern as it allowed access to the public going to the restaurant and the guest house. Pietersen said he often had to address the residents on lending access cards to friends, family and staff. A picture was shown of guards sleeping in the security hut at De Zalze. Pietersen said there were about 5 incidents where people tried to get into the estate in his time there. He said it is possible to enter into De Zalze by getting underneath the fence. The anti dig is not everywhere. And you could possibly get over the contractor's gate as well. Galloway then cross examined Pietersen. He explained the role of the security manager. Galloway asked him if he signed a confidentiality agreement when he was appointed. Pietersen said he signed "something", but he doesn't have a copy of it. He left De Zalze because the post was privatized. When he left de Zalze, the security was not up to standard. Galloway said the residents at de Zalze, however, testified to feeling safe. Pietersen said that perhaps the incidents were not communicated to them. There are no cameras inside the estate. Only on the perimeter. Most incidents noted at De Zalze were theft or misplaced items. And so Pietersen was dismissed. Advocate Botha asked for postponement until Monday as they have two witnesses they are considering. The court is adjourned.
