Mark Lifman: Who is ‘Johnny Bacardi’ and what happened at James Small’s Café Caprice?
Nov 9, 2024
Mark Lifman's killing puts the spotlight on the far-reaching tentacles of Cape Town and Joburg's criminal underworld.
Ex-Springbok rugby stars, the battle for “the doors and drugs” at Cape Town nightclubs, notorious gangs and the assassination of an international steroid dealer may seem totally unrelated.
But in the developing murder case of Cape Town underworld figure Mark Lifman, suspected links between them illustrate just how far and wide the intricate web of organised crime stretches in the Western Cape and Gauteng.
The suave property mogul and businessman – whose name continued to float to the surface of Cape Town’s murky underworld – was gunned down in the parking lot of the Garden Route Mall, in George, on Sunday morning.
Mark Lifman on trial for Steriod King murder
Lifman’s hit-style killing comes while he was on trial – and out on bail – for the murder of “Steroid King” Brian Wainstein.
Wainstein was shot and killed in his Constantia home in August 2017.
Liftman was due back in the dock at the Western Cape High Court with his co-accused which include alleged Sexy Boys gang leader Jerome “Donkie” Booysen and security boss Andre Naude, on Monday for the murder trial of the international steroid smuggler.
The State alleges that Wainstein and Lifman clashed over property deals and a plan was then hatched to have Wainstein murdered.
