Markus Jooste is 'n etter, en ook 'n skelm. Nie was nie, is.

I hope my words, or rather my language, don't send a shiver down your spine.

Yes I agree, and he chose the easy way out. he should have faced his circumstances.
But cursing everyone is not the way.
 
What a stupid thing to do. He wasn't even facing jail time.

He could have appealed, got the fine reduced, and still lived a cushy lifestyle on the interest of the rest of his money.

People get so caught up in things that they can't see the bigger picture.

Steinhoff’s Markus Jooste died from gunshot wound to the head on Kwaaiwater cliff path​

Steinhoff International's mastermind Markus Jooste shot himself outside his luxury Hermanus holiday home on Thursday afternoon.​

In a shock twist of events in the Steinhoff scandal, police confirmed that the multinational holding company’s former CEO, Markus Jooste, took his life suicide on a footpath close to his luxury mansion in the seaside town of Hermanus.

Jooste’s holiday home is situated in an area called Kwaaiwater, between the town centre and Voëlklip, and is considered to be the most expensive and exclusive property in Hermanus.

...

Hawks waiting in the wings…​

A source close to the matter told News24 that the 63-year-old Jooste, as well as former Steinhoff International company secretary and head of legal Stéhan Grobler, were told on Wednesday that they had to hand themselves over to the Hawks on Friday.

Jooste’s tragic Kwaaiwater suicide​

Jooste apparently told his wife he was going for a walk as she was leaving their house for a round of golf.

Daily Maverick reported that, according to a reliable source, Jooste shot himself in the head on a footpath in front of a neighbour’s home close to the beach.

An eyewitness told the publication that emergency personnel found him lying partially on the cliff path where they attached drips before carrying Jooste with a heavily bandaged head on a stretcher to an ambulance.

Police confirms suicide​

According to Western Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Malcom Pojie, members of the police members were called out to a scene at a beach on Thursday in Hermanus, where a 63-year-old man has succumbed to a gunshot wound to the head.

He was still alive at the time and was transported to the Hermanus Medi-Clinic, and he succumbed a few minutes after arrival.

“An inquest docket was opened by Hermanus police for further investigation; no foul play is suspected at this time.”

Hawks to review accountability in Jooste fraud probe: Rose​

Steinheist author and Financial Mail Editor, Rob Rose, says the Hawks must now reconsider who to hold accountable in the Markus Jooste fraud investigation.

...

Rose says the public expects accountability.

“Steinhoff’s itself has managed to repay some of the people, some of the money that it lost, that they lost. So there has been some sort of settlement on that score, but that comes out of the company. In terms of personal accountability in who goes to jail for this fraud I think that’s something that the investigators the Hawks will now have to look at and reconsider given what’s happened here. Certainly, the public wants there to be some accountability for the largest fraud in the country.”

Something weird here. I’d say his home is at least 2km from Kwaaiwater so not sure what he’s doing away along there. Also, I drove past his house about an hour after the news broke and there was no activity at all around it.
