DANIKAS- WHISTLEBLOWER OR CON?
A FAKE ‘WHISTLEBOWER’ EXPLOITS INTERNATIONAL WHISTLEBLOWER PLATFORMS.
THE EVIDENCE..
‘BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF US…RETURNED FROM S.AFRICA IN ORDER TO INVEST IN GREECE……BIG MISTAKE!!’ (SIC)
This is the verbatim extract of an e-mail written by ARISTIDES DANIKAS on 6/08/2013 at 05:46 to inter alia the EUROPEAN UNION‘s Commissioner of Energy in Brussels, Jasmin Battista, and Ben van Houte, Georgete Lalis and Robert Lorenz from TFGR.

It is apparent from the e-mail that Danikas lost his ill-gotten gains from defrauding Zonke Mpetha, his business partner and other creditors in South Africa, to a Greek solar scheme.
Danikas‘ e-mail is unambiguous as to why he left South Africa. He was not forced to flee South Africa, fearing for his life, which he now claims on whistleblowers’ platforms. Instead, in his own words, he ‘..returned from S.Africa to invest in Greece..’
THE FACTS
Danikas and his wife mysteriously ‘disappeared’ in South Africa in 2008. He surfaced as a ‘whistleblower’ in Greece in 2011, accusing police officers in South Africa of serious crimes. However, between 2008 and 2010, he sent his wedding photographs, and later that of his first-born son, to the very people he accused of serious crimes. He exchanged friendly e-mails with them and sent photos of himself and his wife holidaying in Paris. He sent them Xmas wishes and enquired about travelling to Tanzania. Bizarre indeed. These e-mails are available.
SOME OF THE PHOTOS DANIKAS SENT
A SELECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS DANIKAS SEND TO GEN. BOOYSEN. (CHILDS PHOTO BLURRED BY UNCAPTUREDSA.) THE PURPOSE OF THE PHOTOS IS NOT TO EMBARRAS DANIKAS’ WIFE, BUT TO DEMONSTRATE DANIKAS’ DISHONESTY.
DANIKAS SENT THE PHOTOS OF HIS WIFE TO THE VERY PERSON HE ACCUSES OF THE MOST HEINOUS CRIMES. AND WHOM HE FEARS, TO THE EXTEND THAT HE HAD TO FLEE IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE AND GO INTO HIDING.
DANIKAS’S WIFE, SHELLEY, INSERTED HERSELF INTO THE ARENA, ALONG WITH DANIKAS’ CREATIVE ACCOUNTANT, ARTHUR GEORGIADES, WHEN THEY LIED, IN A WEBINAR FACILITATED BY JGI CLARKE.
WOULD ANY-ONE SEND PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS NATURE TO PERSONS WHOM THEY BELIEVE IS OUT TO KILL THEM OR THEIR FAMILY?
DANIKAS & STATE CAPTURE
During the Zondo Commission of Enquiry into allegations of State Capture in South Africa, it emerged that rogue prosecutors persecuted police officers, who were investigating corrupt South African politicians and their acolytes. Aristides Danikas and disgraced ex policeman, Rajen Aiyer were key enablers for these prosecutors.
Danikas and Rajen Aiyer, falsely implicated Cato Manor police detectives, in serious crimes. All the policemen were eventually exonerated. One of the prosecutors, Nomgcobo Jiba, was fired by the president and five other prosecutors are now facing hearings for the roles they played in charging the police officers. Rajen Aiyer was arrested and is currently facing imprisonment, while Danikas is hiding in Greece, purporting to be a ‘whistleblower’.
When the same prosecutors got a smackdown in court regarding Danikas, they walked back, writing to Danikas’ lawyer, informing him that Danikas may be implicated in offenses in South Africa.
WHAT COULD THE OFFENSES BE?
Danikas moved substantial amounts from his business, Technotronics Electronics CC‘s account, as an apparent loan to his father in Greece. According to a letter from First National Bank (bank letter below), Danikas removed 38 000 US Dollars and 9000 Great British Pounds, from his business account. There is no record available to establish that the money was repaid, suggesting Danikas perpetrated the following criminal offenses.
*Money Laundering in terms of the prevention of Organized Crime Act,
*The Foreign Exhange Act and
*Crimes listed in legislation administered by the South African Revenue Service as listed in Schedule 1 of the SA Revenue Services Act
These penalties for these crimes are prison terms and or hefty fines.

DANIKAS’ ACCOUNTANT
Bank statements and audits reports of Danikas’ business accounts by ‘ASTER AGENCIES’ accountants, which were provided to uncapturedsa, suggest serious impropriety by Danikas and his accountant Athur Georgiades. Georgiades, who certified Danikas’ business’, audits, did some imaginative accounting of Danikas’ business accounts and followed Danikas to Greece.
Georgiades’ gymnastics accounting however, fails to explain how Danikas managed to own a multi-million-rand apartment in the upmarket Durban Berea, own luxury Audi and Mercedez vehicles, wear luxury Breitling and Panerai watches, go on multiple expensive holidays abroad, pay for his girlfriend’s studies, showering her with expensive gifts, live an extravagant lifestyle, dining at top restaurants in Durban, Johannesburg and Sun City, with a salary of R 28 000.oo per month, ‘drawn’ from his business.
DANIKAS FREELOADING WHILE IN ‘EXILE‘
Danikas continues to present himself as a ‘whistleblower’, operating from Greece. On his blog he refers to himself in the third person. He confusingly claims he established a ‘NGO’ which according to him, is ‘affiliated’ with an organization called “Blueprint for Free Speech” of which he is the ‘CEO’ ?
His modus operandi is a mirror image how he exploited unsuspecting victims in South Africa. He ingratiates himself with people in power and influence, including reputable organizations, and then exploit them for personal gain. Once he has entrenched himself, he uses the influence and leverage of the organization to achieve his personal goal, which is status and ultimately financial support.
According to his blog, he traverses the globe as a ‘guest speaker’ and ambassador for whistleblowers. Having travelled Europe, Puorto Rico and recently Washington in the USA.
With the Greek economy at a low ebb, and Danikas having lost his ill-gotten money in a Greek solar scheme, he resorts to exploiting actual whistleblowers, to maintain the opulent lifestyle he enjoyed in South-Africa. Follow the money.
DANIKAS the whistleblower’s TODAY
Danikas, insists that he lives in ‘exile’ in Greece, even though he was born in Greece. He has regurgitated the same refrain, produced the same photos, video material, interweaving it with his ‘extraordinary dramatic escape’ from South Africa. His lies have been traversed and scrutinized ad nauseam, by Judges in the High Court see Booysen v Acing NDPP, the Zondo Commission of Enquiry, and The De Kock enquiry and nine other senior State Advocates. The verdict remains the same. There is no evidence supporting Danikas’ fantasies.
Danikas allegedly runs a mini racket, to obtain sponsorships and donations in the form of accommodation, travel and subsistence allowances, to travel to court hearings and whistleblower events.

IMPORTANCE OF WHISTLEBLOWERS
uncapturedsa Appreciates the importance of whistleblowers. It remains an important arrow in the quiver against corruption. Unfortunately, it also creates a fertile breeding ground for what is known in intelligence parlance as ‘information prostitution‘. Ostensible whistleblowers exploit the public’s goodwill and peddle information for self-serving reasons. Some for monetary gain, others for fame, and in some instances, both.
As a rule, whistleblowers, do not seek recognition, monetary or otherwise. Their motives are intrinsically noble and honest. What distinguishes charlatans, such as Danikas, is that they advocate for a better dispensation for whistleblowers which translated means, ‘funding’. He piously proclaims that his work is pro bono. But that is not true. It is a charade to obtain funding for travel and accommodation when he arranges events.
Bona fide whistleblower organizations should re-consider the practice of presenting awards to whistleblowers. It presents an unintended incentive for the psychological needs of narcists, which may be counter-productive to the cause of real whistleblowers.
DANIKAS and APARTHEID
Since the initial article appeared, uncaptureda was informed that according to a report in EURO NEWS, Danikas told reporters how he, as a seventeen-year-old, demonstrated outside the SA embassy in Athens, against Apartheid. uncapturedsa Has seen the article. It is a fabrication. During the eighties there were no demonstrations outside the SA embassy in Greece. In 1988 there was a UN symposium, in Athens and during 1985 a Greek delegation visited South Africa. In 1986 the Greek Government passed a resolution condemning Apartheid. Pinocchio’s nose growing ever faster.
Danikas has also lamented the publishing of the photographs above. It evidently escaped him that he supplied the photos in the first place.
Dannikas come clean you are a bad rogue and liar with your cohorts!
He will never come clean. He has no backbone. A real jellyfish.
I was a member of the Oganised Crime Unit based at Cato Manor. We were a cosmopolitan unit made up all the different race groups within our society. We were diverse but we were one. We interacted with each other on a professional and personal level. There was never discrimination. We were one for all and all for one
And I can vouch for that having worked with them for numerous years
Danika came to South Africa to loot and ran to Greece when the screws were tightening.
Soon the same will happen in Greece. Where to run to then?
Disgrace to the Greek community in SA
Costa- he isn’t a disgrace, to the Greeks, he is a disgrace to himself,his wife and his two children. He is a liar, and bullshitter. He looks for attention because he is in love with himself. (poor children and poor shelley-having to live with a sociopath) He got Maema, Dawood and Kola to go to Greece to hand them an unsigned draft statement, (still in my possession,) if he had really witnessed those false allegations, he would have signed it. And the Greek one Ari signed 8 years later was translated by Maema and then they superimposed Aris signature and even that statement Maema refused to use, because Aris committed possible crimes in SA. Those clowns [ Kola] the stupid thing swallowed the nonsense Ari spoke- so did that Raymond Mathenjwa, and Sello Maema, they are the biggest morons ever seen in a court of law. During the bail application he was cautioned by the magistrate several times, trying to paint a false picture the arsehole, but justice prevailed, so suck up to each other, Aris, Raymond and Sello. Even the video Ari put on Youtube is fake! Anyone can see it. You can’t even see who the people are. The circus is waiting for you.
My late husband had a second-hand shop in Durban not far from Aris’s shop. The name of Aris’s shop was Techtronics or something like that. Aris sold second -hand computers. He was also buying cameras that he knew was stolen, paying a fraction of what it was worth. I was in his shop once when he bought a camera from a black man and witnessed how he spoke to his black customers. He often referred to them as stupid and often used the “K” word. The way he spoke to them was inappropriately condescending. How can Aris complain of racism? After he returned to Greece because, and, he had told my husband’s that his father was unwell, i suddenly read in the newspapers that he had turned on his police friends in SA, saying they tortured people. I told my son, and we discussed what Aris was saying. We thought he left SA because he said the crime was high and his father was ill, why was he coming up with a different story? We thought he was making it up because he might have left SA because the police were looking for him or he owed money, we could not place our finger on the reason. All we knew Aris was not talking the truth. My late husband suspected Aris was up to something because Aris’s business in Durban was situated in Smith Street and Aris wanted to sell it because he complained about the crime in downtown Durban. How can he be a whistleblower? He left SA for a different reason what he claimed long after his exit from SA. Is he receiving a salary for ‘whistleblowing’ Greece?
Apparently he receives a salary from am International Whistleblowing group, why?
Where is that loud-mouthed free-loading narcissist John Clarke? I notice he has vanished. Must have dived back under the damp rock where he and other venomous insects co-habitate.
I don’t believe Ive ever encountered such an obvious parasite. On his own facebook profile he claims his so-called “activism” is all pro-bono (free). Then he whines that he cannot keep doing this “activism” for free.,.then in the next sentence he bemoans how long it is taking to reach a settlement for his client, in a court case – and whines that this is holding up his payday!!!
His “activism” seems to be limited to spreading lies on social media. I cannot see how any person could actually be charged, by Clarke, for what Clarke does. Reprehensible. He parasites off the weak and the wounded- getting his greedy claws into whatever damages the courts award victims of corporate evil.
An innocent person would have defended himself.That Clarke hasn’t done so just confirms that all uncapuredsa published is true.
All in hiding now cowards
Danikas as you read this know that you caused a lot of pain to a dear friend of mine. She did not deserve what you did to her when she bought your business. Her money paid for your lavish lifestyle. Come call me the “K” word to my face and I’ll show you what this “K” can do!

Well said Ronald Mazibuko

Danikas , “you can run , but you can’t hide .
Get ready to face the music Danikas .
Dear General
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on a fight well fought, for standing your ground despite having the odds stacked up against you and your team.
The modus operandi perfectly encapsulates what happened with me. How Danikas manipulates situations to suit his agenda.
“The mark of a true leader is one who stands by his team and supports them through the good and the tribulations that follow” these are the same words I had for a certain Mr Aris Danikas after being accused by him of making statements that were never made, statements that he tried in conjunction with Mr Clarke to justify, by hiding behind the what he called “the witness of his nine year old son” who apparently overheard our seemingly private conversation.
How does one even begin to use a minor to try and substantiate and perpetuate a lie? That is despicable and cowardice at best. Danikas stands by “his story” and is willing to sacrifice his own son’s integrity.
My heart truly goes out to his wife whom he parades as a prize mare with photographs, and his son with whom he prostitutes the truth with. They too are innocent victims and the collateral damage of a psychotic, narcissistic and pathetic man who has for the best part of his life been hell bent on destroying other’s lives to benefit his selfish desires.
These so called awards of his are contraceptive by design, they remain merely a means to try and give some credibility to his cause, they have no impact and no results.
I had confronted Danikas on the rumours he had been sowing in unsuspecting minds, at first he denied it vehemently and then in defence he ran to John GI Clarke who blamed Danikas actions on numerous episodes of un-dealt with “PTSD syndrome” meted out to him by your team at Cato Manor. My question was simply, surely with all the PTSD he would have had to consult a psychologist, or a panel of specialised doctors to help both him and his family over the traumatic period. Interestingly Danikas told me categorically that he did not attend any counselling.
It is General Booysen imperative that these scoundrels and misfits be brought to justice instead of them parading on the international front as so called whistleblowers, Danikas is one of many.
And in closing I have specifically penned this mail to you to confine my support to yiou and your team in exposing to everyone what these despicable charlatans are about.

Danikas used his wife during a webinar, courtesy of John GI Clarke, (see article Deconstructing charlatans) a while back where he manipulated her to dramatically rub his shoulders while he started sobbing, during the webinar. He got his accountant Athur Georgiades, to lie on the same webinar. Somehow Arthur also suddenly witnessed atrocities. What Danikas did not know was that some-one had sent me his bank statements and audits. Danikas got Georgiades to do some amazing ‘accounting’ Not surprised at all that he stoops so low to using his own son to cover for his lies.
He is currently in a dispute with his brother, Maki regarding his father’s estate. Before his father, whom i knew died, Danikas had a heated argument with him about Danikas’ inheritance. So no, nothing surprises me about him.
He betrayed friends in South Africa too, all for recognition, status and ultimately, monetary gain.
What a trail of deceitful lies and shame. Thank you for sharing and at the end of this all so many lives, so many good mens lives, were destroyed by the one and only name this piece of low life understands He is a Malaka and should recieve the ultimate Greek blessing, SPIT ON YOU vlago
So so true
So true except Jacque Pauw did not expose the arms deal and the MEEC fraud as depicted in his book……this was exposed in 2002 and covered up. Case no 03/2769 JHB High Court, Judge Steigman Presiding.
Well stated Angelo
People like this are more dangerous than the actual corrupt themselves – stopping at nothing to feed their own ego, and profiteer over those that are the real innocent whistleblowers.
Sad thing is they themselves don’t see the lies and harm done, as opposed to the sacrifices real whistleblowers make.
Its criminal, but not a criminal offence. That’s the sad reality of people like this, so the only way is to expose and name and shame, where eventually the real skulduggery and lies will he exposed.
This man clearly have some issues. If he is really traumatised he must go for counselling.
What kind of human being is this narcisst with all of his lies?
If I was Danikas, I would hide forever! General Johan Booysen is going to expose you, believe it or not!
It is unbelievable that the scum could make up these lies and that justice advocates fell for it!!?? I do realize now why I was discriminated against in all the false accusations made against me as Area Detected Head and why I did not get the support from officers at Province Head Office!!!?? Hope I’m still alive when Aiyer put on his orange overall!!!Danke Gen Johan dat jy ons ń guns bewys het!!
As predicted in the article “Deconstructing Charlatans’, Danikas resorts to his default modus operandi in his response to this article. Must’ve hit a raw nerve. Ad Hominem responses, projection, deflection, obfuscation, and new falsehoods to tailor his version as the truth emerges.
His latest ad hominem response is, this blog is ‘racist’ and ‘rightwing’. The reader be the judge.
He accuses others what he is guilty of himself. The statement of Mr Steven Joanides UNDER OATH to a lawyer, demonstrates he is the racist. Classic case of’projection’.
He does not refute ANY of the evidence, on uncapturedsa. The way out for him is to deflect through obfuscation, insult and lie. He muddies the water by conflating out of context sms, recordings and e-mails.
GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH A PERSON WITH A HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY DISORDER IS A FUTILE EXERCISE. Therefore, no ad seriatim response will be engaged in, sans the following.
1. None of the new allegations on his blog is mentioned in any of several statements he previously made.
2. If Danikas is to be believed, why did he not record any of the many incriminating conversations? He recorded many irrelevant conversations after all.
The reasons are patently obvious.
Now on to something constructive.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
