Dear Sir
“Uproar over Diamonds!” This caption appeared in the New Era of Friday, 8 February 2008. The article in question by a certain Catherine Sasman made allegation that I, Helmut Angula, am a director in Bret Investment. That statement is false.

And the writer chose not to speak to me before publishing the report. It is regrettable and most unfortunate that the print media choose to join the ranks of the well-known international diamond Mafioso in disseminating falsehood.
It is not a secret that the notorious mafia, supplier of the information used in the vilification of my name to the journalist is ever in the court for one reason or another normally involving diamond. I wish to state categorically clear I did nothing wrong meriting dragging my name in the so-called scandal reported by the New Era.
In this connection however, let the writer of the said article and her greedy international Mafioso friend understand that I am not in transit in Namibia. I am here to stay till death set me apart. My right to engage lawfully in business if that is their concern is guaranteed by the Namibian Constitution.
I’ll not be deterred by their scaring tactics to exercise my legitimate right. In any event if it is their intention to pick a fight with me I promise them a good fight. As we say in Oshiwambo, “Okiipeta ya kashima”.
Sincerely yours,
Helmut K. Angula
Windhoek
