DURBAN Roodepoort Deep will be called on to specify which documents were stolen in a mysterious break-in at its Johannesburg head office at the weekend, says JCI CE Brett Kebble.
Kebble, who recently initiated a civil action against Durban Deep and its CE Mark WellesleyWood over efforts by the company to gain access to personal documents belonging to Kebble and his father Roger, said he was troubled by the notion important evidence may no longer be available to police for their investigation.
Kebble said he had instructed his lawyers to find out which documents were stolen.
Durban Deep spokesman Ilja Graulich said company financial documents covering a number of years were taken in the break-in. None of the documents had any relevance to the Kebble's legal action, he said.
Security guards were held up at gunpoint on Sunday night and pistol-whipped before the robbers broke into the company's strongroom using angle grinders and jackhammers. Nothing of monetary value was taken except the documents.
The robbers were very specific about the documents they selected, in some cases taking entire files and in others taking only selected data.
