Pretoria, South Africa — Disgraced lawyer and former reality TV star Peet Viljoen faced the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court, where his case was postponed to June 26 for a formal bail application.
The state intends to oppose his release on bail. Viljoen, who was deported from the United States and subsequently arrested upon arrival in South Africa, now faces a total of 400 charges, including corruption, fraud, theft, perjury, and forgery.
The charges stem from a R100-million property fraud scheme that dates back 16 years. His initial bail application was hindered by outstanding verification checks. Viljoen’s legal team remains unknown, and the nation awaits the case’s unfolding developments.
