Peet and Melanie Viljoen during Peet's first appearance in court last month.
While former celebrity lawyer Peet Viljoen will this week fight for his freedom when he launches a formal bail application, his wife Melanie (Mel) gave an undertaking that she will give her full cooperation in current investigations relating to the pair.
Private investigator Mike Bolhuis said in a statement that Mel had recently contacted his company Specialised Security Services (SSS).
“During this initial communication, Mrs Viljoen expressed sincere remorse for her past conduct and indicated her willingness to present herself to Specialised Security Services with the express intention of cooperating fully with all active investigations,” Bolhuis said.
He welcomed this step by Mel, noting that her gesture represents a constructive first step toward the ultimate resolution of the matters at hand. He also noted that Mel offered profuse apologies for her own behaviour as well as on behalf of her husband.
