Beerhouse

💛 If you ever walked through our door on Long Street before 20 June 2015, chances are Joe greeted you.

Joe Kanyona was our doorman at BEERHOUSE. Soft-spoken, always smiling. Not the biggest man in the room, but the one who made everyone feel safe. On 20 June 2015, he was murdered at the door he guarded. He left behind a daughter who was just four months old.

Today she is growing up at The Bridge, a children's home in Hout Bay. And it's not a regular orphanage. It's a family home: house mothers, a garden, an art room, music and dance, and children raised as kids, not cases. Laëtitia Galvaire sold her home in France to build it.

In June, our founder Randolf Jorberg launched Joe's Legacy for The Bridge. So far about R21,000 has been raised. Every rand counts. It's nowhere near enough.

This Sunday, the BEERHOUSE family has a chance to change that. The Bridge is hosting a Live Music Fundraiser on its own grounds, headlined by AURIOL HAYS, with Meri Kenaz, Keshia Lee Codron and DJ Firehorse, and a fire pit as the evening settles in. Randolf is back in Cape Town for it and would love to see familiar faces.

Come and see for yourself:
💛 the loving home these kids are growing up in
💛 why it's nothing like the institution you picture
💛 what it could become: with enough monthly supporters, it could welcome more children who deserve exactly this
💛 Laëtitia's remarkable work, up close

What The Bridge needs most is monthly support.

📅 Sunday, 11 October, from 4pm
📍 The Bridge, Hout Bay
🎟 Tickets (R240, under 12 R140): https://www.quicket.co.za/events/400582-live-music-fundraiser-for-the-bridge/

Joe looked after our guests. Let's look after the home that looks after his daughter.

And here we go! Well known mafia boss Mark Lifman intends to sue me for defamation and R500,000 in damages, as I call him out for his alleged role in the 2015 murder of my doorman Joe. He has even managed to convince South African courts to attach my house in Cape Town.
All the details with dozen of links and the full document in my first blog post in years (link in comments).

On July 21st, I described the extortion that led to Joe's murder during my appearance on Carte Blanche, South Africa's leading investigative TV program, which also resulted in the closure of my business after 11 years of operation. Now, Lifman is trying to destroy me by taking my last remaining asset. In this letter received via WhatsApp, he seems offended by many of my recent social media posts

Despite my public call for a lawyer with balls (or ovaries) I have yet to find someone willing to assist me pro bono in an official capacity. As a result, I'll need to crowdsource both my defense and the statement required to open a strong criminal case against Mark Lifman.

Mark Lifman’s deep involvement and leadership in the Cape Town underworld have been detailed by reputable organizations like the Institute for Security Studies, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime and in the bestseller "The President's Keepers" by Jacques Pauw. Investigative journalist Caryn Dolley has also featured him in all of her books, and the blog marklifman.com has labeled him as "a brutal gangster, owner of illegal security companies, a murderer, a convicted tax evader and, disturbingly, a child ra**st" among other accusations.

It seems none of these organizations have ever been sued for telling the truth, but after I shared my story of the extortion that led to Joe’s murder on June 20, 2015, in the Carte Blanche exposé in July, it must have reached a wide enough audience to annoy Mark Lifman, prompting him to sue me for R500,000 in damages, as if he still has a reputation to uphold.
This 15-minute Carte Blanche episode, which shows explicit pictures of the murder scene, is shared on my Facebook with permission, as it has received limited circulation on Carte Blanche's YouTube due to age restriction. The full 48-minute interview with me has already been watched over 160,000 times.

If you are an insider or lawyer, willing to share your knowledge, reach out to me! I am currently 8 hours behind South African time

25/08/2024

The issue of extortion is on the frontpages of and this week, the 15 minute exposé and the 48 minute interview by have gained 200k+ views but BEERHOUSE is closed and can't pay the bills anymore to get Mark Lifman prosecuted.

Is there any South African attorney willing to represent and assist me PRO BONO in formally (re-)opening the case against MARK LIFMAN and HUSSEIN TALEB for intimidation and extortion leading to murder?
I feel that's necessary now, as SAPS seems to be unable to take such statements from me via video calls and they have formal requirements which Interpol (represented by the FBI in the US, where I am for the next two months) struggles to fulfill and/or complicates.

I'm surprised to see that video calls and documents shared via Google drive can't be used in 2024 and need this attorney as a 'translator' to make sure this case is not dropped again. Having lost my source of income and fast dwindling savings I'm not able to fund a lawyer myself. Please forward this to any attorney who might be willing to help.

BEERHOUSE says good-bye after 11 years!

Exactly 11 years after opening, BEERHOUSE is closing its doors after this weekend. When we opened on International B**r Day, August 2nd, 2013, international and local b**r lovers flocked to enjoy Africa’s largest b**r selection, featuring over 99 b**rs on our wall. A previously unseen diversity of b**rs and people celebrated together in that yellow landmark building and will come together one last time this weekend…

This sudden end is indeed connected to the Carte Blanche exposé where BEERHOUSE founder Randolf Jorberg spoke out about the 2015 murder and ongoing extortion payments that affect every business in Cape Town’s nightlife industry. Given these circumstances, the current partners agreed to close the doors and seek a buyer for assets, lease (ZAR 80k/month), and/or the brand. Potential buyers can email buy@b**rhouse.co.za to express their interest.

Please join us this last weekend and/or share your most epic memories in the comments!

Cheers 🍻💛
