On 23 May 2025, Specialised Security Services published a project on Mr. Peet and Mrs. Mel Viljoen, the project highlighted the fact that information was received that indicated that the Viljoen couple planned to evade justice by moving to the United States of America, the project also outlined the investigations into Mr. Peet and Mrs. Mel Viljoen.

Read the initial project here: https://www.mikebolhuis.co.za/post/project-misrepresentation-fraud-and-theft-mr-peet-viljoen-and-mrs-mel-viljoen

In response to that project, Mr. Viljoen stated in a media article that Mr. Bolhuis was misinformed and that he had no intention to leave South Africa permanently. Mr. Viljoen even provided ‘evidence’ to substantiate his claims.

Just as with many of Mr. Viljoen’s previous claims and statements, this was also proven to be a complete fabrication and lie.

On 6 July 2025, Mr. Viljoen stated in a media article that he has, in fact, left South Africa for America and that he has no intention of returning to South Africa. This was also made clear in a recent racist publication by Mr. Viljoen on his Instagram account, where he stated: “I don’t speak baboon anymore”. This statement is a reference to African languages, which are spoken by the majority of South Africans. This statement was also indicative that Mr. Viljoen is not planning to return to South Africa.

Mr. Viljoen’s narrative:

Mr. Viljoen claims that he has left South Africa for America because of racial laws and because of the “inferior mental capacity of the black person in South Africa”.
Mr. Viljoen further claims that black South Africans have a genetic disorder that does not allow them to conduct good business or advance in business, further stating: “I hate black people”.
Mr. Viljoen further claims to have moved to America because he fears for his safety in South Africa, citing the EFF and EFF leader Mr. Julius Malema in several claims.

The facts:

The Viljoen couple is planning to use the current political climate between South Africa and America as an excuse to evade justice for crimes that they have committed in South Africa.
It is clear by the statements that Mr. Viljoen is making that he is attempting to provoke a public response from the EFF and other anti-racism activist groups, with the hopes of using those responses to appeal to the American Government with claims that his life could be in danger if he returns to South Africa.
This is a sly and corrupt way of obtaining and using refugee status to evade justice in South Africa.
Furthermore, the Viljoen couple has made millions of Rands from white and black South Africans by illegally selling and dealing in Tammy Taylor products and franchises.
Before leaving for America, the Viljoen couple sold their assets in South Africa, and they lied about their intentions to leave South Africa by claiming that they were merely leaving South Africa for a holiday in Australia.
Mr. Viljoen admitted in his latest media publication on 6 July 2025 that this was a blatant lie.

"This is who Mr. Peet and Mrs. Mel Viljoen are:

They buy products which they do not pay for, then they sell those products to others, but they never deliver. They repeated this process with multiple transactions over the years, this is the definition of Racketeering."

Example 1: The Viljoen couple purchased goods to the value of R30,000,000.00 at wholesale price, no evidence could be provided that those goods were paid for. The Viljoen couple then sold those goods for R70,000,000.00 at retail price, but the goods were never delivered to the buyers.

Example 2: The Viljoen couple claimed to have ownership and franchising rights to Tammy Taylor Franchises, they then sold these franchises to members of the public, collected the money, but never delivered the franchises.

The Viljoen couple has now left South Africa with the money made from their Racketeering ventures.

"South African Attorney":

On 6 July 2025, Mr. Viljoen published a video on his TikTok account in which he claims to be a South African attorney who has moved to America for his own safety, he claims to want to help other young white people to also be able to leave South Africa for a better future.

Mr. Viljoen’s version is again far separated from the facts:

Mr. Viljoen is not a South African attorney, he was removed from the bar, and he is not legally allowed to practice law in South Africa after allegations of fraud and misrepresentation were made against him.

Not aware of criminal investigations against him:

Mr. Viljoen claims that he is not aware of any criminal investigations pending against him, while Mr. Viljoen is not a practicing attorney, he is well versed in the law and he knows that he cannot admit to having knowledge of pending criminal investigations against him, as it would drastically impact his residency application in America, and it would give substance to the accusation that he is knowingly evading and obstructing justice.
The facts are that Mr. Viljoen is very much aware of the SAPS and Hawks investigations into his criminal conduct.
Mr. Viljoen is also aware that he is in breach of a court order issued on 25 April 2025.
Mr. Viljoen is also aware of the fact that several civil proceedings against himself and his wife Mrs. Mel Viljoen are ongoing and outstanding.
The Viljoen couple is also aware of the fact that a warrant of arrest will soon be issued for them, which is the main reason for their departure from South Africa.

Not the victims:

The Viljoen couple is claiming to be the victims of unfair race laws in South Africa, but the narrative that they are pushing is not factual or truthful.
The facts are:
- The Viljoen couple has illegally used the name and reputation of an American-based organisation in which they misrepresented themselves as the owners.
- They then misled hard-working South Africans into purchasing franchises from them for a company to which they had no right of ownership.
- Therefore, they committed fraud and theft, and for years they managed to evade justice by means of extortion, intimidation and threats towards their victims.
The Viljoen couple is now seeking a safe harbour and refuge from the home country of the very business that they nearly crippled financially by means of fraudulent misrepresentations.
Specialised Security Services hereby issues a request to the American authorities not to fall for the malicious manipulation tactics used by the Viljoen couple to represent themselves as victims of the South African government.
If the Viljoen couple succeeds in evading justice by finding refuge in America, this will set a standard and it will open the door to widespread corruption, and many similar cases will soon follow.
Mr. Peet Viljoen, and Mrs. Mel Viljoen must return to South Africa and face justice for their actions.

Warning to the South African and American Public:

Do not fall victim to Mr. Viljoen’s manipulation. He is well-spoken, and he knows how to appear sincere. There is a good reason why Mr. Viljoen has been the center of several controversies surrounding his business dealings over the years. He uses manipulation and sophistication to draw victims into conducting business with him. Once the victims discover that he is not adhering to his end of the agreement, he turns to intimidation, extortion and threats to convince his victims not to file or to withdraw criminal charges against him.

Read the following statement by one of many of the Viljoen couple’s victims:

“I was misled into investing in what I believed were legitimate business opportunities involving the Tammy Taylor Nails brand in South Africa.

It all began in September 2024 when I was encouraged to invest in two nail salon franchises: one in Bedfordview and another in Benoni. I was promised that both stores would be opened within a short time and was asked to pay deposits to secure them. Despite multiple reassurances and follow-ups, neither store was ever opened.

Later, I was approached again and offered a 33% share in their holding company, Tammy Taylor Global Franchising (Pty) Ltd. I was told the company owned the rights to the Tammy Taylor name in South Africa and was generating impressive profits. I was also promised income from store profits, royalties, and product sales. Based on those promises, I signed an agreement and paid the full amount they requested.

After months of unanswered questions and broken promises, I discovered that:

1. The company did not hold the legal rights to the Tammy Taylor brand in South Africa;

2. The products being sold under the Tammy Taylor name were not from the official US supplier;

3. I was never formally recognized as a shareholder, despite the signed agreement and payment;

4. The promised business ventures were never realized.

This entire experience has been devastating. I entered it in good faith, believing in the brand and in the people who approached me. I truly thought this would be a meaningful and successful investment that I could build on with my daughter.

Instead, I have been left betrayed and deeply disappointed.

I have filed a criminal complaint with the South African Police Service and have asked for an investigation into:

1. The franchise stores that were promised but never opened;

2. The shareholding agreement and misrepresentation around the holding company;

3. The use of the Tammy Taylor name and trademarks without authorization;

4. The possible sale of counterfeit or misrepresented products;

5. And any other unlawful activity connected to this matter.

I am sharing my story not only to seek justice, but also to warn others to be cautious. I hope no one else finds themselves in the position I am in today.”
