A police investigation is underway after the Glenhaven home of alleged underworld figure, Jerome “Donkie” Booysen, was robbed.  

Armed robbers allegedly broke into the home before midday yesterday and tied up the domestic worker, who was at the home alone.  

It is believed the robbers posed as police officers. 

Jewellery, cash and a CCTV control box were reportedly among the items stolen before the suspects fled.  

Booysen told News24 that the suspects also “tried to open the big safe, but only managed to open the small one, where they took the jewellery and money”. 

“Investigation continues regarding items that was stolen,” confirmed Western Cape SAPS spokesperson, Captain F.C. Van Wyk. 

Booysen is said to have been appearing in the Western Cape High Court at the time, where he is on trial as one of the accused in the murder of Brian Wainstein.  

“The homeowner was not present at the house at time of the incident,” said Van Wyk. 

Bellville South police confirmed that no injuries were reported and that the suspects are all unidentified men.  

“Bellville South police registered a house robbery case following an incident on Tuesday, 2026-04-21 at 11:05 at a premises in Glenhaven, Bellville South,” noted Van Wyk.
