Former policeman and illegal cellphone tracking system salesman Bradley Goldblatt said that as soon as he realised that the late Anti-Gang Unit detective Charl Kinnear was in danger, he informed a contact at the State Security Agency. 

However, the woman he spoke to referred him to the Hawks' Crime Against the State unit, but he battled to get anyone to answer their phones.

Eventually, he contacted a warrant officer, Wynand Olivier, in the unit and told him what he knew. However, despite his repeated warnings, Kinnear was shot dead, and the SSA officer called him, crying.
