I am a SOUTH AFRICAN WOMAN, I married a SPANISH MAN in my country, South Africa in 2009, we then moved to SPAIN with my teenage son (14 yrs old).

THIS CAMPAIGN IS FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN´S LEGAL DEFENSE, AND TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO CORRUPTION IN THE SPANISH JUDICIARY, POLICE, GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC OFFICES, HARASSMENT, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, RACISM, DISCRIMINATION, INACESS TO JUSTICE, ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE, INTIMIDATION, AND A CONTINUED THREATENED SITUATION IN SPAIN.

WE ARE BEEN HELD HOSTAGE IN SPAIN, WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT, & WITHOUT BASIC RIGHTS, OR ACCESS TO JUSTICE. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE IN DANGER, AS THERE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE ME.

This is a request for AN INVESTIGATION by the Spanish Prime Minister, South African President, President of the African Union, DIRCO, Ministry of Foreign affairs, Constitutional courts (SA, Spain, EU),The Court of Human rights in Europe, The Ombudsman, Human rights Commission South Africa, Agenda2030, …into #Racism #Corruption #discrimination #inacesstojustice #humanrightsviolations #abuse #discrimination #racism #harassment #purjury #maliciousintent #divorcefraud #taxfraud #custodyfraud #stolenafricanchildren #Policebrutality #intimidation #righttojustice… in SPAIN

WITH REFERENCE TO MANY HORRIBLE INCIDENCES AGAINST US IN SPAIN (SEE BELOW(, THIS IS A PUBLIC DENUNCIA AND URGENT REQUEST FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO CRIMES BY:

1. MY EX-HUSBAND SAUL J.P.P
2. CORRUPTION, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE AND RACISM AT THE PODER JUDICIAL; THE SPANISH LAWYERS REPRESENTING US, PROSECUTORS, JUDGES, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF.
3. SPANISH MINISTRIES, DIPUTATION DE MALAGA, JUNTA DE ANDALUCIA, THE SPANISH POLICE AND GUARDIA CIVIL, AYUNTAMIENTO DE COLMENAR, & OTHER SPANISH PUBLIC OFFICES, PRIVATE ENTITIES & ALL PERSONS INVOLVED.

I AM REQUESTING ACCOUNTABILITY AND A CLAIM FOR ALL RELATE DAMAGES, AGAINST SPAIN AND ALL SPANISH OFFICES INVOLVED, FOR  FOR RACISM, DISCRIMINATION, SYSTEMIC INJUSTICE, DEFORMATION OF CHARACTER, CRIMEN INJURIA, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, MALICIOUS DAMAGE, INACCESS TO JUSTICE, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION, BRUTALITY, PERJURY, LOSS OF INCOME, OUR HEALTH AND MENTAL WELL-BEING, INEQUALITY, FAILURE TO PROTECT…. ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN, (AND THE LOSS TO MY FAMILY IN SOUTH AFRICA), WITHIN THE LAWS (SPANISH, EUROPEAN, SOUTH AFRICAN AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS), THAT SHOULD PROTECT US IN SPAIN. 

I HAVE APPLIED MANY TIMES SINCE 2009 FOR ABOGADOS DE OFICIO, THEY HAVE NOT REPRESENTED ME, THEY HAVE NOT CONSULTED WITH ME, THEY HAVE NOT ADVISED ME OF MY RIGHTS, THEY HAVE NOT PROTECTED MY CHILDREN, SOME APPOINTED ABOGADO DE OFICIOS (STATE LAWYERS) HAVE FILED NOTHING ON MY BEHALF. THEY ARE RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, THEY REFUSE FOREIGNERS TO COMMUNICATE IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE, THEY REFUSE TO HAVE COURT DOCUMENTS TRANSLATED INTO THE A NATIVE LANGUAGE THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD, AND THEY DO NOT ACT WITHIN THEIR OATH OF OFFICE. 

IN SPAIN, WHEN A FOREIGNER USES THE SPANISH JUSTICE SYSTEM YOU ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR NOT BEEN SPANISH, FOR NOT SPEAKING SPANISH, FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING THE SPANISH JUSTICE SYSTEM. YOU ARE NOT KEPT UPDATED ON THE PROGRESS OF YOUR CASE BY THE LAWYERS OR THE COURT. YOU WAIT MONTHS, SOMETIMES YEARS AFTER DENOUNCING SOMEONE FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE COURT, OR FOR A COURT SENTENCE. FOREIGNERS ARE SPOKEN TO AND TREATED IN A DEROGATORY AND INHUMANE WAY. COURT ADMINISTRATORS ARE RUDE, THEY ARE BULLIES, THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, DISRESPECTFUL AND INHUMANE. FOREIGNERS HAVE NO RIGHTS, WHEN BRINGING A CASE AGAINST A SPANISH PERSON IN CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. THE SPANISH CIVIL CODE, THE SPANISH CONSTITUTION, THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD, AND EUROPEAN AGREEMENTS ARE ALL WORDS ON PAPER, AS FOREIGNERS THERE IS NO ACCESS TO THE LAW OR ANY RIGHTS OR PROCESSES WITHIN THE LAW.

Before arriving in Spain, In my home country, I ran a successful company with 6 divisions, I employed several permanent staff and over 40 temporary staff. I had a house, swimming pool, car, great social life, international travels, and able to provide sufficiently for me and my son, as a single mom. In all my life, in Africa, I was able to do everything I set out to do, and made it a success. With this success I was able to help others on a daily basis. Feeding over 20 homeless people every day, and empowering others by creating job opportunities. I worked with integrity and the highest level of professionalism,

Our life in Spain was, and continues to be, FAR from Normal. ITS LIVING HELL!!!  THE WORST YEARS OF ME AND MY CHILDREN'S LIFE.  MY DAUGHTER HAS GROWN UP WITH INSTABILITY AND CHAOS FOR 14 YEARS.

My wonderful life, changed within two weeks of arriving in Spain, the EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL started. My husband removed his wedding ring, and one day to the next I heard ¨I love you¨, ¨I don’t love you¨. A few months after our daughter´s birth, It was clear that I was not allowed to work, to have a life, to continue studying. He was jealous, possessive and VIOLENT. There were incidences of domestic violence at the home, where he smashed things inside the house (I phoned the police, he was arrested), on another occasion he punched the glass door of the baby´s room. There was glass everywhere, and blood all the way down the passage to the bathroom, until he went to the hospital, and there was more…until I requested a protection order.

It was clear too, that my husband was having an extra-marital affair, with his first ex-wife. Within the first year of our marriage, on more than one occasion, his first ex-wife, an Italian woman.  On more than one occasion, she phoned me tell me about their affair. Like my ex-husband, She works in the music industry, and I later I discovered that the both, were travelling to international music conferences & festivals, sharing hotels, while I was the babysitter for their two children.

Since 2009, the father of my daughter, showed little or no interest in providing for our daughter in common. It was not for a lack of funds. His incomes was more than sufficient, he owns several properties around Spain, travels internationally for holidays, and pays more than double for each of his two children from his first marriage, compared to the 450 euros he pays monthly for our daughter. Which is way below the expenses for the child.

My husband, now ex-husband, owns several companies. He is the Manager and Agent for the biggest names in the world music industry, in Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Cuba, Portugal, Spain, Balkans, Russia, US, Asia,etc…He works with producers in the UK, France, and around the world. He travels the world with the international artists he manages, to the biggest music festivals in Spain, Europe and around the world. He is a known person in the music industry in Spain, has his own music festivals, works with recording studios, artists, radio stations, newspapers, venues, departments of culture, and the City councils in Spain. He is spreading his wings in Southern Africa ( Mozambique, South Africa, etc..).

In Addition to this, he is a 50% partner in a ¨Spiritual Festival¨ in Madrid. The other partner, in this festival, runs Sivannanda Yoga in Madrid, he is a lawyer by profession, and introduced my ex-husband, to his current lawyer, before we divorced. According to his Blog, he holds a management position at the Poder Judicial (Judiciary) in Spain, and he does yoga workshops with over 1500 judges and lawyers in Spain.
For years, I have said that there is deep seated CORRUPTION regarding my legal proceedings in Spain. When I read this Blog, it was clear to me that my husband´s partner, has a hand in the justice system, and why I am hitting walls in my legal proceedings. I have no other options, than to resolve this Outside of Spain.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A SPANISH WOMAN, AND BY MANY OTHERS, THAT I WILL NOT GET ANYTHING RESOLVED IN THE SPANISH JUSTICE SYSTEM. I TRAVELLED TO BRUSEELS, TO THE EUROPEAN UNION, THEY ADVISED ME TO RETURN TO SPAIN AND TO EXHAUST MY OPTIONS, AND TO BRING MY CASE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION.

Financial equilibrium and equality between the spouses, was omitted in our divorce trial and decree, even though we were married in Community of property. I cannot afford private lawyers. I have applied many times, since 2011 for abogados de oficio. The appointed lawyers, did not consult with me, they refuse to provide me with the relevant documentation in the said trials, inform me of the process, they did not present important information and documentation to the judge, and some of them did not file anything on my behalf.

Here is a SUMMARY of some of the legal proceedings:

1. FRAUDULENT TAX DECLARATIONS 2010-2012. My ex-husband and his GESTOR used my name and identity number to declare a salary in Spain, that I was not earning. My ex-husband, his lawyer and prosecutor, perjured themselves, and fraudulently used this in the divorce trial.
In January 2013, I noticed in the divorce decree that an annual salary for over 22 000 euros was stipulated in the divorce decree, for the RENTA 2010.
I asked my lawyer, where does this amount come from. I did not submit this?
In 2014, I was filing court documents, and came across a document from the Tributaria, it stated that my ex-husband did a declaration in my name, with my Spanish NIE number.
In 2014, I went to the Tributaria in Madrid, and explained what happened. They gave me printed documents for the years 2009-2012 confirming my incomes.
In 2016, I asked at the Tributaria in Malaga, for a copy of the signed submission to the tax office, for the RENTA 2010. The woman helping me said that there is nothing on record. That everything before 2012, is not available electronically.
Two weeks later, I went back to the Tax office in Malaga, I asked the gentleman attending to me for a signed copy. He printed the copy, with confirmation of the date and time the submission was done.
My ex-husband and his Gestor, submitted the tax declaration, electronically using a digital certificate, while I was visiting my family in South Africa, in June 2011. I did not sign anything,
On receiving the documentation, finally in 2016/2017, and as advised by ICAM at C. Justicia in Malaga, I denounced him. The evidence I provided was used, by the Tax office, to put an embargo of around 65 000 euros on one of my ex-husband´s properties.
MY CASE WAS ARCHIVED WITHOUT A TRIAL, WITHOUT AN INVESTIGATION, WITHOUT LEGAL REPRESENTATION, WITHOUT GIVING TESTIMONY, WITHOUT RECEIVING THE SENTENCE TO DATE. Its been four years since I denounced him.
This is online fraud, identity theft, tax fraud, and a violation of my protected data.

2. FALSE CHARGES AGAINST ME, by Giuliana (my ex husband's first wife) that I STOLE HER CAR IN 2009. I did not touch her car, or steal any car. I came across this charge several years later, when doing legal admin. In 2009, I did not speak Spanish, Giuliana used this to her advantage to maliciously hurt me, and to defame me. She denounced for car theft. I want my name cleared, and the relevant charges brought against this person.

3. In 2011, I was called to court again. Giuliana (the first ex-wife), MADE A FALSE DENUNCIA AGAINST ME, saying that SHE "DOES NOT WANT ME NEAR HER CHILDREN, I AM FROM AFRICA, PEOPLE FROM AFRICA PRACTICE WITCHCRAFT". I explained to the judge, I have never done anything to hurt her children, I was born, raised and a practicing catholic. The judge dismissed the charges, and told Giuliana not to waste the courts time. In my opinion, This is racism, discrimination and xenophobia at its finest in Europe.

4. IDENTITY THEFT, FRAUD, ILLEGAL CONTRACTS, FAMILY ABANDONEMENT, MALICIOUS DAMAGE INTENT X 5

In 2011/2012 During our separation, my husband used MY SPANISH BANK ACCOUNT AND SPANISH IDENTITY NUMBER TO CHANGE 5 UTILITY BILLS INTO MY NAME, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. For electricity, Gas, phone, etc….
In 2014, ICAM, Malaga advised me denounce him. A lawyer was appointed. The lawyer told me to meet him, 10 minutes before appearing, on the date of the trial. I provided him with emails, Invoices and bank statements as evidence. The lawyer did not write up any Official court document, or present it on my behalf. I received nothing. I did not appear before the judge. The person who took my documents in the Administrative office, was rude to me, he shouted at me, I was close to tears, he was a bully, and he was disrespectful. He asked a question and didn’t give me a Chance to respond. This happened in the presence of my lawyer. Several months passed without hearing from my lawyer. I followed up. I met the lawyer at his home office. The sentence stated that the case was ARCHIVED. The lawyer did not appeal. He said there is nothing he can do, he was appointed as my lawyer for 2 years.

5. FRAUDULENT DIVORCE, INACCESS TO JUSTICE, REPRESENTATION AND DOCUMENTATION.

In December 2012, my husband and I DIVORCED. IT WAS 100% A FRAUDULENT DIVORCE, WITH COLLUSION BETWEEN THE LAWYERS, THE PROSECUTORS, MY EX-HUSBAND, AND PROBABLY THE JUDGE.
I was not consulted by my appointed lawyer, MARIA PILAR, before the trial. My last meeting in person with my divorce lawyer was 2 years and three months prior to the trial. She did not communicate to me what my husband was asking for, or what he had submitted to the court. I did not receive documentation from my lawyer prior to the divorce proceedings, the lawyer said she sent it on a text message. She did not provide the court with copies of the lease contract. There was no mediation. There was no child prosecutor. There was no translator.
On the 12 December 2012, around 20:00, The lawyer phoned me,, to say that I should appear the next morning. I did not know I was appearing for my divorce. No Intepreter was appointed. My lawyer sent another lawyer, from her office, who Did not meet before, to represent me on the day of the first trial date. I repeatedly asked why we were called to court, the lawyer did not confirm. He walked up and down the hallway, to speak to my husband and his lawyer. (In-your-face Collusion and corruption in motion). Minutes before we were meant to appear, our names were read out for “ DIVORCE”. I was stunned, and immediately requested that the date be rescheduled, to provided sufficient time to consult with my lawyer, to receive documents, to prepare, and for an interpreter. It was rescheduled for 5 days later (which included a weekend). I asked my lawyer for an appointment (she confirmed the same day as the call in the afternoon, my 3 year old daughter was home sick, my son was at his music classes. I asked her to email a copy of the WRIT. Neither was granted before the trial.
In a state of desperation and extreme stress, consulted with an online lawyer service in English, which charged me per minute. I was advised to inform my lawyer that I renounce her, and I want a suspension of the date, time to appoint another lawyer, and requested a copy of the writ, I informed my lawyer. She refused to meet with me at a time suitable for the both of us, or to hand over documents, to request a new date, or to step down as my lawyer.
In addition to this, On the day of the trial, I did not have any money to travel to the court 6km outside of Madrid city. I asked my ex-husband, he refused to drive me to court. I notified my lawyer that morning. The divorce trial went ahead without me present, without consultation with my lawyer, without receiving documentation, without giving testimony. The perfect opportunity for my ex-husband and his legal Team to submit fraudulent documents. The judge ruled that I could have walked 6km to the court, and 6 km home, in the middle of winter in Madrid, which is usually around 2 degrees in the morning.
In January 2013, on a Saturday morning, outside Plaza Castilla 1, when the courts were closed, my divorce lawyer (Maria Pilar) gave me a stack of papers from the divorce trial, which contained all the documents my ex-husband submitted in the divorce trial, and the divorce negotiations she had drawn up, which I did not receive before the trial, I did not sign or agree to. In January 2013, she asked me to sign a document that I received the documents in person from the trial. None of the documents were explained to me, or translated into my native language.
In January 2013, I appealed the sentence, I sent a written statement to my lawyer. I have never received a copy of the appeal from the lawyer.
In July 2013, Another sentence was received, with (false) denounces against me by my ex-husband. I replied, and appealed that sentence, in writing to my lawyer. In 2016/2017 I asked the lawyer about the response to my appeal. I received a letter stating that they could not find me.
2014 - 2017, I applied for a state lawyer for MODIFICACION DE CONVENIO DE DIVORCIO. I applied 4 times in 2014-2015, once in 2017, and once in 2018, and once in 2019 (legal insurance).
Between 2014-2019, The lawyers could not agree if the case is heard in the court where the Divorce was finalised, or where the mother and child live. I had to apply to the different cities each time around. IT’S A DELAY TACTIC.
The appointed lawyers in 2015-2017 Did not submit any requests to the Court for MODIFICATION ON THE CONVENIO DIVORCIO.
December 2015, it was confirmed that the case be heard in Madrid, where the divorce was finalised. The lawyer who represented me in my divorce, Maria Pilar, was appointed. December 2015 and January 2016, I provided a statement and documentation to the lawyer. She submitted nothing to the court, and sent me nothing. I repeatedly asked. In 2017 I renounced my lawyer, who MISREPRESENTED ME AGAIN. I made a formal complaint to ICAM in Madrid. I received a letter stating that they find no fault. I was well represented.
In March 2018, a new lawyer, Rosa, was appointed in Madrid for MODIFICACION DE MEDIDAS DE CONVENIO DE DIVORCIO. Rosa was given all the details, she submitted a demand to the Court where my divorce was finalised. By January 2020, I had not received a response from the court. I received a sentence on email from the lawyer in December 2019. The case was moved to another court. The document is confusing, it hasn’t been translated. There are no other documents attached, confirming what was submitted. ANOTHER DELAY TACTIC, AND ANOTHER VIOLATION OF MY RIGHTS. I have been advised by my legal insurance, that I need a private lawyer.
The best interest of the child was not taken into consideration.
The quality of life of the mother and her two children was established below the poverty line.
There was no equilibrium between the parties, when the judge decided on the measures.
The life the family had during the marriage, and the life I had before the marriage was not maintained.
The community of property has not been dissolved.
Fraudulent documents were submitted.
Perjured statements were made my ex-husband and his lawyer.
Documentation was not submitted proving the family situation.
My husband did not declare his actual earnings, assets, and the nature of his work.
The lawyers did not provided all the documents in the investigation into his assets and incomes.
The wife’s role in the marriage, the care of the child, the home, and professional services provided to increase the company’s bottom line was omitted during the trail.
The husbands travel for long period of time for his work, and pleasure was omitted.
The wife did not give testimony and provide all the necessary evidence to the judge, to prove the violence in the home during the marriage, which the husband denies.

6. DIVORCE DECREE, SUMMONS MY EX-HUSBAND TO PAY 50% EXTRA-ORDINARY EXPENSES FOR THE CHILD. SINCE 2014, MY EX-HUSBAND IS IN CONTEMPT OF THE DIVORCE DECREE.
Between 2014-2023 There are claims for 50% of the extra-ordinary expenses for the child.
Between 2014-August 2017, my ex-husband paid zero extra-ordinary expenses for the child. Since 2017, he paid a small amount, but not the full 5)% as ordered by the judge.
In 2015, I denounced him. 8 years later, I did not received a response from the court, Ciudad Justicia in Malaga, Spain. In Nov 2023, I went to the court to ask what is happening with the case.  They printed a document, the sentence, the case was archived, without testimony, evidence, a court appearance or representation by a lawyer. .
In 2017, I applied for patria potestad through an appointed state lawyer, (He did not comply with the court order). The lawyer, Rosa, did not present my application to the court.
August 2020 I DENOUNCED HIM AGAIN, and included an excel spreadsheet for each of the unpaid expenses. I received no formal communication from Ciudad Justicia in Malaga. After this campaign was released, on the 28 January 2021, I received a phone call from a woman, who was anxious, couldn’t confirm a hearing date, kept telling me she can’t give me more time as she had people waiting in her office, mumbled something to another woman. A judge spoke to me, who asked me if I have denounced him before, I confirmed in 2015. The first woman was given the phone, and she put the phone down in my ear when I asked when a citation date would be set. ANOTHER UNPROFESSIONAL, CHAOTIC, DISTRESSING EXPERIENCE, FURTHER VIOLATION OF OUR RIGHT. THE SAME CYCLE AS THE PAST YEARS. Finally a citation date was set for May 2021. I went to the Citation, (the same week as another legal proceeding), I gave testimony to the court that my husband did not make the necessary payments.  My husband did not appear, he had a lawyer representing him. The lawyer presented a stack of documents. When I arrived home, I realised that the documents were  disorganised, and did not reflect the amount that was due for the payments of the child.  My ex huband included the pension Alimenticia payments, which is different to extra-ordinary expenses.  I wrote to the court, and requested AN EXTENSION TO SUBMIT THE RELEVANT INFORMATION, my computer had been compromised the week before my court hearing, and folders and documents on the cloud were mysteriously deleted, when I restored the files, they were corrupted. I had a lot of documentation to reorganise, I was in the middle of another legal process, and I had a fracture in my back, and could not lift heavy weights. I did not receive a response from the court. I was told to wait for a response from the court.  I paid a private lawyer 285 euros (borrowed from my mother), I went with her to the administrative office of the court, she to put a document before the court, confirming that she was my lawyer. I never had another meeting with her again.  She kept making excuses why she cant meet with me. In Nov 2023, I went to the court to ask what is happening with the case. They printed a document, the sentence, the case was archived, again. Not sure if processes were followed, it doesnt seem so.

7. DIVORCE DECREE STIPULATES THAT THE HOME AT THE TIME OF THE DIVORCE WAS A FAMILY HOME. THE FACT IS THAT IT WAS A RENTED APARTMENT. My husband walked out of the home and abandoned the family. The rental alone was 1000€ a months, plus utilities. Since our separation in November 2011, my ex-husand refuses to contribute to the home where the child lives.
The IPC Calculator on the Poder Judicial specifies that the pensión calculation, does not include the Home expenses (Hipoteca), Education or extra-ordinary expenses.

All attempts to claim a percentage of the home expenses through lawyers, denounces, the office for women, and at the police at the relevant courts, have been ignored.
Since 2011, it’s been an uphill battle to make ends meet, to pay rent and utilities. Every day, since 2011, we have not had peace of mind and security of a home, we are constantly facing threats, and have zero support in Spain.

8. THE DIVORCE DECREE STIPULATES THAT AN INCREASE IN THE CHILD’S PENSION CAN BE REQUESTED ANNUALLY IN JANUARY OF EVERY YEAR, USING THE IPC.
Since 2013, I have asked every year for an increase in the pension of the child. My ex-husband, his lawyer and prosecutor, my appointed state lawyer 2013-2017 has ignored me.
In August 2017 a request was submitted to the court, through a newly appointed state lawyer.
SIX YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND NO TRIAL DATE HAS BEEN SET, THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION FROM THE LAWYER ON THE PROGRESS OF THE CASE. NO TESTIMONY HAS BEEN GIVEN, NO SENTENCE HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

In August 2020 I denounced my ex-husband, with claims for unpaid pension, which includes three years unpaid pensions. I have not received a response.

9. THE DIVORCE DECREE STIPULATES THAT The custodial parent can request the CHILD'S PASSPORT, through the court where the divorce was finalised, IF A PROBLEM ARISES FROM ONE OF THE PARENTS.
Since 2017, I have repeatedly REQUESTED THE RENEWAL OF MY DAUGHTERS SPANISH PASSPORT, TO VISIT MY FAMILY IN SOUTH AFRICA. My ex-husband, his lawyer and his prosecutor ignored all my requests.
In 2017, through an appointed abogado de oficio (Rosa), we applied for the child’s passport, to attend my mom’s 70th birthday.
In December 2019, (received in March 2020), the sentence denied the application, stating that the mother said it was no longer necessary (NOT TRUE).
Again, in August 2020, I requested the passport of the child, I did not received a response from my ex-husband.
In November 2020, I received a phone call from a social worker, saying that my ex-husband agrees to the child’s passport and for my return to South Africa. I stressed that Divorce sentence and the child’s pension has to be modified accordingly, the and claims need to be resolved, and my name cleared in the court before I return to SA. The social worker put the phone down in my ear. I received no communication from my ex-husband or the social worker since.

In 2022, I put pressure for the child's passport.  MY husband signed the document, I noticed that it wasnt his signature.  Before I was accussed of fraud, I asked him to stop following around and to sign the document. He said the document will be at the police. I set up the appointment again, the police in plaza merced, malaga, said that there is an internal note, with a restriction for my daughter's passport, until she turns 18 years old (she had a passport for the first 8 years of her life). My daughter broken down in to tears.  The police said he will speak to the judge.  I said to tell the judge tha this goes againts the child's rights.  The policeman phoned the next day to say the judge agreed to the passport.  Finally after 7 years of asking for my daughters passport, she received it.

 

ME AND MY CHILDREN HAVE NOT BEEN HOME TO VISIT MY FAMILY SINCE 2012, BEFORE MY DIVORCE. ITS BEEN 11 YEARS SINCE MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN HAVE VISITED MY FAMILY IN MY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.

10. THE DIVORCE DECREE STIPULATES THAT THE CUSTODIAL PARENT (MYSELF) CANNOT LEAVE SPANISH TERRITORY WITH THE CHILD.
This clause was added without communicating to me before the divorce trial.
Communication in an email I wrote, was USED OUT OF CONTEXT BY MY EX-HUSBAND, to request this clause. The communication to my husband IN 2012, DURING THE SEPARATION STATED, “ you are not helping me with the expenses at home, you are not helping me with the child, it would make more sense for me to go home, and have the support of my family, my friends, and work as a business owner again”.

SINCE 2012 MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN ARE BEEN HELD HOSTAGE IN SPAIN, WITHOUT ACCESS TO BASIC RIGHT, ACCESS TO JUSTICE, AND WITH NO PROTECTION.

11. THE DIVORCE DECREE

 STIPULATES THAT THE PARENTS HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER REGARDING THE CHILD, EMERGENCIES, EDUCATION,TRAVEL CHANGE HOME ADDRESS, ETC…MY EX HUSBAND REQUESTED PATRIA POTESTAD.
As the custodial parent, I have communicated openly, timeously, my requests fall on deaf ears.
SINCE JANUARY 2018, MY EX-HUSBAND REFUSES TO CONFIRM HIS PHYSICAL ADDRESS, TO AVOID BEEN SERVED LEGAL DOCUMENTS.
I have asked the appointed lawyers, the prosecutors, his family, the city councils where he owns properties, social workers (through mediation), his artists,…no one can confirm where he is. THE POLICE IN EL PALO, said they have nothing on the system for him.
The lawyers say they can’t serve him papers if they don’t have his physical address.
I find it hard to believe that in Spain, In Europe, with all the technology available, and Government systems in place, they cannot locate a Spanish National living in Spain, who is evading the law? IT IS CLEAR THAT HE IS PROTECTED AS A SPANISH NATIONAL.

12. IN FEBRUARY 2018, I REQUESTED MEDIATION WITH MY EX-HUSBAND THROUGH THE SOCIAL WORKERS OFFICE, WHO WAS THE FIRST ON THE LIST OF MEDIATORS.
In August 2018, I received a letter confirming mediation.
I requested a date for mediation, in writing. I Did not receive a response.
In October 2019, in the presence of a lawyer, We asked the social workers (Belen & Barbara), for progress on the Mediation that was approved. Belen said that the mediation appointment was set for 2018, but I did not attend, the mediation appointment went ahead without me been present. I asked Belen if my ex-husband attended the mediation, if she could look on her records or on the computer in front of her, and confirm the date in 2018 the mediation was confirmed for? I asked how their office notified me of the date for mediation, was it on email, a phone call, text message? I did not receive any notification from either of the two offices, confirming a date for mediation.
What I do know, is that in 2019, according to what My ex-husband told me, he received a phone call from the social workers in Malaga, asking if he wants custody of the child. Again another plot, involving the social workers in Malaga, Spain, to discredit me, and to take my daughter away from me, illegally.

13. FRAUDULENT CUSTODY TRIAL:

Between 2013-2019 I went through a horrid, stressful, humiliating, Invasive, time-consuming CUSTODY TRIAL.
Between 2013-2015, My ex-husband, his lawyer Isabel (Madrid) and his prosecutor Yolanda (Madrid), DENOUNCED ME FALSELY, IN MADRID, FOR CONTEMPT OF THE VISITATION ORDER. I responded to each of the denuncias.
December 2013, There was A WARRANT OUT FOR MY ARREST. I gave the judge copies of my responses, in the presence of a Human Rights lawyer. Apparently my (divorce) lawyer did not submit my previous responses to the judge. I was allowed to leave. Currently, charges remain, that have not been sentenced. 

Between 2014-2015, My ex-husband, his lawyer Isabel (Madrid) and his prosecutor Yolanda (Madrid), PRESENTED 5 FALSE DENOUNCES AGAIN ME, IN MALAGA, FOR VIOLATION OF THE VISITATION ORDER.
18 JUNE 2015, I PRESENTED THE EVIDENCE TO THE JUDGE AT A CITATION (WITHOUT A LAWYER), AND I WAS ABSOLVED OF ALL CHARGES IN MALAGA. My ex-husband and his lawyer received the sentence.

On the 9 June 2015, was the first citation date.
On the 30 May 2017, was the second citation.

In the summer of 2017, while the custody proceedings were ongoing, I prepared an excel document to understand the custody trial, as charges were mixed up in different documents. Probably to confuse me. I used google translate to translate Spanish to English word for word. I discovered that custody was requested, using the 5 false visitation denounces against me in Malaga (2014-2015), which I was actually absolved from.
In addition to this, my ex-husband, his legal team, social workers Eva, Belen and Rosario (Malaga), forensic psychologists (C. Justicia Malaga), the sanitary department (my doctor, and a psychologist from the mental centre in Malaga), and his first exwife Giuliana, BETWEEN 2013-2019, COLLECTIVELY CONSPIRED TO, DISCREDIT ME, DEFAME ME, DRUG ME, AND TO TRY TO TAKE THE CUSTODY OF THE CHILD FROM ME, WITH FALSE DENOUNCES, I WAS ABSOLVED FROM. I Googled the side effects of the medication, and I DID NOT TAKE THE LORZAPAM SLEEPING TABLETS PRESCRIBED FOR ME TO TAKE DURING THE DAY, WITH A MINOR IN MY CARE..

I made a big noise on social media. I received a sentence IN 2019, MY EX HUSBAND LOST HIS REQUEST FOR CUSTODY. I appealed the sentence. Many things were omitted, it was not clear if I was absolved of the charges in Madrid, Defamatory statements were not corrected, and the crimes of the persons involved were not noted. THE APPEAL WAS NOT SUBMITTED, MY LAWYER DID NOT CONSULT WITH ME, THE DOCUMENTS WERE NOT TRANSLATED,THE LAWYER SUBMITTED NOTHING IN MY DEFENSE.

When speaking to a young women of North African decent, she explained exactly the same experience, with the same prescribed drugs, which she took, she lost custody of her daughter, and had not seen her daughter for 3 years since. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES WHERE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM SINGLE MOTHERS IN SPAIN.  IT SEEMS THAT THIS PRACTICE CONTINUES.

How many (foreign) and vulnerable woman have been prescribed LARZAPAM, been through a similar experience, and how many have lost custody of their children in Spain? THERE HAS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION BY SPAIN, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND HUMAN RIGHTS COURTS. THE RELEVANT PERSONS INVOLVED SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO TRIAL.

14. MY SON'S SPANISH RESIDENCY REPEATEDLY DENIED:

Between 2014-2020 My eldest child’s RESIDENCY has been continuously denied by the EXTRANJERIA in MALAGA, Spain, at the court in Malaga, and the Supreme Court in Madrid and Malaga. He has lived with us, as an active member of our family unit in Spain, the brother of my youngest daughter, and still a student in Spain.
Between 2009-2014 our residency was, Communitario familiar.
In 2014, before our residencies expired, we (my son and I) applied for a renewal, first in Madrid (paid the TASA), and then in Malaga, after we moved.
In August 2014, we had several appointments at the foreigners office, as they requested more documentation.
Once we had all the documents they required, we electronically requested appointments for the same day at the foreigners office. We waited for more than an hour to be attended to. The person processing the application, processed my application. We were told to come back the following week as the office was closing. I noted that the following week, would be outside of the renewal time. We were assured all will be okay, they knew us and we had been to the office several times.
My son returned the following week, he was told it was outside the renewal date, and WE NEED TO APPLY FOR THE ARRAIGO, request a police clearance certificate from our country of origin for the 5 years before arriving in Spain (my son was 7-13 years old during the period they needed a police clearance certificate for).
THE ARRAIGO APPLICATION FOR RESIDENCY, WAS AS IF HE HAD ARRIVED IN SPAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME. I was advised requested an appointment with the manager, a date was set, he refused to meet with me.
IN 2015, We applied FOR THE ARRAIGO, WITH THE POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE AND ALL DOCUMENTATION, including confirmation of all the years my son studied in Spain. It was denied.
We applied again in 2015, through a state lawyer, we gave her copies of all the relevant documents. It was submitted C.Justicia. We were told wait for a date.
November 2016, I followed up with the lawyer on the date. She phoned me back with a date for the 17 November 2017. We attended the citation, without consulting with the lawyer since a year before in 2015. I asked a human rights lawyer to attend the hearing. Neither me, my son or the human rights lawyer were allowed to say anything before the judge.
January 2018, it was sentenced and the residency was denied. I asked about the process to appeal. The lawyer appealed without consulting us.
In February 2018, she gave us a copy the appeal In Person. I asked why it wasn’t a simple renewal. And what documents we need to submit. She was very rude in the meeting, shouted at me in front of my son. Told us we can go to the Administration office if we wanted a copy of the first sentence.
Since then she has not responded to any of our emails, or WhatsApp messages. Its 2023, and my son still does not have his residency in Spain.  He has not been able to have a normal young adult life in Spain, like his friends. 

15. RACISM, DISCRIMINATION AND XENOPHOBIA:

Between 2017-2019, In the building where we lived previously, myself and my two children experienced several VISCIOUS XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS AND THREATS FROM DIFFERENT NEIGHBOURS IN THE BUILDING.
One day I arrived home to find cigarette ash thrown all over the front door of our apartment. When I knocked on the neighbours door to ask why there was ash on the door. I was shouted at and insulted. I called the portero. The neighbour tried to viciously attack me in front of my daughter, who is a minor. The porter and another person, held the neighbour back.

We were pushed out of the elevator in the building four times, by different neighbours, using physical force, shouting at us, and insulting us. One of these incidences occurs in the presence of a friend visiting Spain with their son.
Once a neighbour ran down 6 flights of stairs to attack me and my daughter, while we were in the elevator, we took the elevator back up to the apartment, locked ourselves inside, called the police, and denounced the neighbour. We have a video of the incident. We did not touch anyone.
Before I could make a statement at the police, the neighbour filed a complaint before me, that I punched someone on the shoulder. I did not hit or touch anyone. I only lifted a bended arm, to protect myself, when I was been pushed out of the elevator. The person arrived with a cane, to the hearing, to play on the sympathy of the judge, and assume that I was somehow responsible for the injuries.No medical certificates were produced to show any injuries. I did not have a lawyer defending me. I asked if I could call a witness. The judge declined.
The case was closed.
I communicated this to the owner of our apartment. She owned several apartments in the building, Her brother, who lived in the building, was the President of the community and lived one floor below me. The landlady and the president of the community did nothing, and ignored my requests
My daughter was scarred by this experience, afraid to go into the street, and psychological treatment required to help her through this ordeal, her fears and to manage her emotions.

16. UNDERCOVER POLICE ALMOST TO BEAT MY SON:

In 2017, On returning home, My son was chased up 6 flights of stairs, and ACCOSTED BY A SPANISH POLICE, in plain clothes, at the front door of our apartment, I heard the commotion, at the door, and asked what was going on. When my son opened the door, I saw a person with his arm in the air and a baton in his hand.  He was about to beat my son with his baton. The officer seemed surprised, and asked if my son lived at this house, I said yes. He said okay, and quickly left. He did not show us any identification. I mentioned to the porter what had happened, he said they mistook my son for a Moroccan man who once lived in the building, who they were looking for. The officer entered the building without a warrant. My son took the stairs as the elevator was taking long, and eventually got the elevator on the 3rd floor. The officer followed my son, using 6 flights of stairs. This is racial profiling. What if I was not home at the time, and jumped up to see what was going on? What would have happened to my son? I wonder if they had surveillance on us and the intention was to harm my son, there has been many more incidences of surveillance on my phone, our internet line has been intercepted, documents were deleted from my devices, the police have blocked the back of the car I was sitting in, and the police came rushing up to us when I was talking to two other African people.

17. On the 30 December 2014, at 00:30 in the early hours of the morning, 2 POLICE FROM MALAGA CENTRO, came to the house, to take my 5 year old daughter, without any documentation, or a warrant. Her father, was at the police station waiting, with his two other children. He made a false accusation against me, ordered the police to come to collect the child at home. She was sleeping at the time. The police made a lot of noise, she woke up when the police arrived, she was terrified. She still has nightmares and bad memories.
The police were sent to the house, in the middle of the night, to intimidate, harass, bully, force, defame and embarrass me in front of my neighbours, and to illegally remove the child from the custodial parent, without any court documentation or legal procedures? This is psychological and emotional abuse, abuse of authority and systemic injustice and discrimination. I called my son, to the front door to bear witness to what is going on, they said it wasn’t necessary.

18. In February 2012, my PURSE WAS STOLEN IN LIDL IN MADRID, with over 200 euros in cash, bank cards, ID documents, etc… I immediately informed security and management at the store. They said there is nothing they can do. I need to denounce the incident, only then the video from the cameras can be released, to this current date, 9 years later, I have not been called to give evidence, no court date has been set, no sentence has been passed.

19. MOVISTAR SIGNED ME UP FOR A 2 YEAR CONTRACT, FRAUDULENTLY. An employer from the same Movistar office, pocketed the once-off payment I was told to pay for phone insurance. When my phone was stolen, I was told, I had no insurance.

And that’s not all…

I HAD A BETTER LIFE IN MY COUNTRY. THIS WAS NOT THE LIFE MYSELF AND MY SON HAD IN AFRICA. MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW THIS. I DID NOT HAVE SUCH HORRID EXPERIENCES, LIKE THE EXPERIENCES I HAD IN SPAIN, NOT EVEN AS A RESULT OF THE COLONIES.

SPAIN IS NOT A COUNTRY FOR FOREIGN WOMEN, IT IS NOT A COUNTRY TO RAISE CHILDREN. THERE IS NO JUSTICE. ITS A COUNTRY WHERE RACISM, DISCRIMINATION, XENOPHOBIA, NATIONALISM , SYSTEMIC INJUSTICE, AND CORRUPTION IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY. HUMAN RIGHTS IS NON-EXISTENT.

IF THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE IN SPAIN IN ALMOST 15 YEARS, WHAT IS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WOMEN, MEN AND CHILDREN, ASYLUM SEEKERS, ARRIVING AS MIGRANTS IN SPAIN, BY BOAT, IN SEARCH OF A BETTER LIFE? FOR YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING AS SLAVE LABOURERS IN THE GREENHOUSES IN ALMERÍA, WHO PROVIDE FOOD FOR ALL OF EUROPE, WITHOUT SOCIAL SECURITY, ABLUSION FACILITIES, ADEQUATE HOUSING, ACCESS TO WATER OR HEALTHCARE, WITHOUT CONTRACTS, AND PAID BELOW THE MINIMUM WAGE. EVERY AFRICAN PERSON IN SPAIN HAS A STORY TO TELL.

FEELING UNSAFE IN SPAIN:
WITH THE EVIDENCE I HAVE AGAINST THE SPANISH STATE, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY RELIABLE SOURCES, THAT THEY WILL TRY TO WEAKEN YOU, AND THEN THEY WILL KILL YOU. THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO WEAKEN ME, EVERYDAY OUR SAFETY IS THREATENED. THEY HAVE TRIED TO SILENCE ME. EVERY DAY IN SPAIN, I FEAR FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER, AND WHY.
SINCE STARTING MY FIRST ONLINE CAMPAIGN IN 2021, MY COMPUTERS, PHONES AND INTERNET HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. LARGE AMOUNTS OF FILES AND FOLDERS HAVE BEEN DELETED FROM MY COMPUTER, SOMEONE HAS TRIED TO TAKE OVER MY WHATSAPP ACCOUNT, AND MY PHONE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN TAPPED INTO. THE THREATS CONTINUE.

I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS. ANY ASSISTANCE AND ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
