Shady "Services" at 78 Cussonia Drive, Val de Grace, Pretoria - Rize Property Professionals

Rize Property Professionals: Cobus van Wyk, the owner & his agent, Lenn du Preez are the biggest crooks Beware of this so-called estate agency. I am a neighbor living in the vicinity of Cussonia drive in Val de Grace in Pretoria, Gauteng. We have been disturbed for quite awhile now by noise and various other unsavory activities that have been taking place at house number 78 Cussonia drive, Val de Grace, Pretoria; which according to the City of Tshwane's records; André du Preez of Andre du Preez Architects is the owner. Further investigation revealed that the property is managed by a letting agency called Rize Property Professionals, located at 478 Rossouw street, Pretoria; owned by Wynand Steyn & Cobus van Wyk. According to the PPRA Cobus van Wyk is not a registered estate agent even though Rize advertises that he is. According to the advertising board outside of the property at 78 Cussonia drive, Val de Grace, Pretoria; it is the premises of "The Boardroom", but after months of observation, myself and various other neighbors have noticed that it is everything but boardroom meetings that are being held on that property. Further investigation revealed that the tenant of 78 Cussonia is a Fred Olivier who also works as an estate agent for Keller Williams Prime. From early mornings until late at night various men enter and exit the property. This might seem "normal" and harmless, but that image quickly changes when you walk and drive past this property on a daily basis. On Saturday, 08 October 2022 just about after 12:00 in the afternoon I was walking past as I do daily with my dog when I noticed that there were only partially dressed men walking around the front yard of the property and they were dressed in some very colorful "underwear". The entire front yard as well as the area outside of the pavement was fully parked with cars and I only saw men, not one female. Most men were middle aged with the exception of the younger boys that were only partially dressed and only wearing underpants. I observed a Mercedes that was parked inside of the property and a middle aged man and two of the young boys that were half naked were unpacking a very large number of various alcoholic beverages, some were sealed boxes of alcohol and carrying it into the house. This was being carried into house number 78 Cussonia. I walked home, which is just around the corner and I could hear extremely loud music playing from house number 78. Later, I discovered that there was a tent put up in the yard and further investigation revealed that "The Boardroom" is an alias for a place called "The Teelplaas" - a place where gay men come to party according to the Boardroom's own Facebook page… After reporting this to both Rize property professionals as well as the owners on the 31st of October 2022 nothing was done and just last week Wednesday I walked past the house and saw a young man without a shirt walking one of the customers to his car. It is quite evident that here is a cover up. It looks like the rental agents, owners and tenants are working together and maybe sharing in the proceeds of the "business". I don't think that anything more needs to be said at this point. The photos and Facebook ads speak for themselves.
