THE SOCCER WORLD CUP 2010

The Soccer World Cup 2010 is finally here and the spin off tourism and investment seekers will impact on South Africa as well as Southern Africa - this is wonderful for our beautiful corner of God's earth. The Soccer World Cup 2010 will see loads of visitors and investors visiting stunning Mozambique, many making Tofo / Tofinho in the province of Inhambane part of their destination. Some of the Soccer World Cup 2010 visitors will be looking for investment opportunities in Inhambane especially the Barra / Tofo / Tofinho area.

This brings me to the reason for my post on this blog. I would like to inform any potential investors wanting to invest in Mozambique to look very carefully before getting involved in any way with a Mozambique man named Sulemane Ismael Hassane Cabir.

Below are the details of some of the properties Sulemane I.H. Cabir once owned and other area's Sulemane Cabir mentioned he owned property in Mozambique.

Tofinho / Tofo, Inhambane province, Mozambique

• Parcel 189, Tofinho, Inhambane for which Sulemane Cabir has an original Title Deed in the name of EMPRESA LIGITPROPS. EMPRESA LIGITPROPS has two members namely Sulemane Ismael Hassane Cabir and Djamila Jane Wallace Cabir. Djamila Jane Wallace Cabir is the daughter of Sulemane I.H. Cabir. Sulemane Cabir informed us that Djamila Wallace Cabir lived in the UK and spent a year studying in Spain in 2007. Sulemane Cabir sold us 2000 square metres of Parcel 189, Tofinho and a casa. Sulemane Cabir and EMPRESA LIGITPROPS no longer had the rights to develop or sell Parcel 189, Tofinho according to the Municipal Inhambane i.e. Sulemane I.H. Cabir no longer has a DUAT over the property as required by the Mozambique law as this was revoked due to non development of the parcel.
• Parcel 215 Tofinho, Inhambane, Mozambique for which Sulemane Cabir has the original Title Deed in the name of Sulemane Ismael Hassane Cabir. Parcel 215, Tofniho, Inhambane was bonded through a financial institute by the name of GAPI in Maputo, Mozambique. There is an entry at the Conservatoria, Inhambane dated 24 April 2009 in favour of GAPI in which GAPI have taken ownership of the entire property. This includes the five houses and one half finished house around the Tofinho Monument as well as the thatched property at the top of the hill in Tofinho, which is clearly visible when driving into Tofo from Inhambane, this property was once a resturant owned by Omar Cabir who is Sulemane Cabir's brother. Omar Cabir informed us that he had allowed Sulemane Cabir to use Omar Cabir's property as collateral to obtain the loan from GAPI. It appears Omar Cabir lost his property as well due to Sulemane Cabir's non payment of the loan.
• Barra Beach - there are a number of properties in the Barra Beach area for which Sulemane I.H. Cabir has Title Deeds which, according to the Municipal Inhambane, the DUAT's have been revoked.

Other area's in Mozambique Sulemane Cabir mentioned he had property:-

• Pomene
• Quissico
• Maputo - this was a house which, according to Omar Cabir, was ceeded due to Sulemane Cabir's non-payment of a loan by a friend in 2007.

Sulemane Cabir appears to be a friend and helpful in every way but Sulemane Cabir, in our experience, does not honour any of his dealings in any way. Besides our dealings with Sulemane I.H. Cabir on Parcel 189, Inhambane Sulemane Cabir was not honourable in other areas as well. In April 2007 Sulemane Cabir approached us to loan $10 000.00 as he had a financial crisis due to Omar Cabir not paying a loan. Sulemane Cabir undertook to pay us back our loan within 30 days as he was waiting for money from the UK for the sale of a house. In December 2007 Omar Cabir informed us that Sulemane Cabir had not been truthful regarding the reason for loaning money and Omar Cabir had not borrowed any money for which Sulemane Cabir had to pay. Omar Cabir advised us that Sulemane Cabir had borrowed money from a friend in Maputo and had put his house in Maputo up as collateral - this was the house Sulemane Cabir lost as he was unable to honour the total loan. We finally got our money back for this loan six months later after putting extreme pressure on Sulemane Cabir as he had put one of the properties on Parcel 215, Tofinho up as collateral for the loan.

To date, four years later, we do not have rights to the property on Parcel 189, Tofinho which was sold to us via a compra / venda agreement at the Conservatoria Inhambane by Sulemane I.H. Cabir.

We trusted Sulemane Cabir, who appears to be an honourable man. I feel it is my duty to help ensure that others are fore warned before dealing with Sulemane Cabir. I would hate to see anybody else go through what we have been through the last four years and for this reason I am making the information I have / information told to us by Sulemane Cabir and Omar Cabir available for anybody who searches the internet for Sulemane Ismael Hassane Cabir.

Our Gracious God has been good to us and we are recovering slowly but surely from our dealings with Sulemane I.H. Cabir. We are totally blessed.

Lord thank you for the amazing blessings You have bestowed upon us.

All Praise and Glory to Your Wonderful Name.

THE WHEEL TURNS

We were chatting yesterday and we ended up on the topic of “The Wheel Turns” - this is something that Barry so believes in and has always referred to “The Wheel Turning” – often together with the name of Sulemane I.H. Cabir.

One day at the end of 2007, while visiting with Omar Cabir, Barry explained the concept of “The WHEEL TURNS” to Omar Cabir (Omar Cabir being Portuguese and we being English) - Omar Cabir is Sulemane Cabir’s brother, both Omar Cabir and Sulemane Cabir owned property in Tofinho (Omar Cabir owned the big Thatched Disco / restaurant – I think it was call LIDO - at the top of the hill which is visible when coming into Tofo – it is actually quite a sad story for Omar Cabir). We met Sulemane Cabir through his brother Omar Cabir in 2006. It was like a light bulb turned on once Omar Cabir understood the concept of “The Wheel Turns”. Omar Cabir often used the phrase after that - especially in conversations about Sulemane Cabir.

Barry believes “The Wheel will Turn” for Sulemane Cabir. Barry truly believed Sulemane Cabir was a gentleman – what an honor to bestow on somebody and to view them in that light – but Sulemane Cabir turned out to be anything but a gentleman.

There was a comment placed on this Dealing with Sulemane Ismael Hassane Cabir blog on 19 March 2009 where the person shared something their family had experienced, as they termed it, “What goes around comes around” – this is what they said:-

I have read your story on your “dealingwithsulemanecabir” blog.

The only advice I can give you is based on something similar that happened in our family many years ago. I know it won’t change anything that you have faced but it does clearly display a Higher Power (God) who is “watching from a distance”.

There is a saying goes like this – “What goes around comes around” – and that is how the Higher Power “watches from a distance”.

I saw this first hand in a situation a family member of mine found themselves in. They were done in by a “con artist” of note and lost everything they had worked so hard to achieve through honest hard work and integrity their whole lives. The road for them was long and hard and they struggled to get back on their feet. By the grace of Jesus Christ they succeeded and thrived.

At the end of the day the “con artist” never did – he got the “other end of the stick” 10 fold.

Hang in there – someday this “con artist” will get his / her day – and when that day comes around there is nothing in this world that this he / she can do about it – it will be too late.

You on the other hand will prosper and grow.

I pray that all that God has to offer through Jesus Christ is bestowed on you.

The concept is the same as “The Wheel Turns” – and based on the experience of the Anonymous writer - Sulemane Cabir will experience the “What goes around comes around” concept.

Sulemane Cabir will continue to be subject to “The Wheel Turning” / the “What goes around comes around” / the “Every dog will have his day” / the “What you sow so you will reap” – basically KARMA - Call it what you like Sulemane Cabir is experiencing this first hand.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF TRICKERY

FAITH FOR DAILY LIVING – VOL 436 – JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2010

THE WORLD IS FULL OF TRICKERY

“Don’t drag me away, Lord, with those cruel people, who speak kind words, while planning trouble”. PS 28:3 CEV

It is very easy for Christian believers to think that, because they tend to move in circles where there is a majority of upright people, then most people are honest and straightforward. If we do this then we are walking around with blinkers on. There are good, honest and upright people around. And not all of them are found in Christian circles. But there are deceptive and mischievous people as well.

The psalm-writer feared that, having lost contact with God, he had done something wrong and that God would punish him by sending him amongst two-faced and evil people. Few things are harder for a good and godly person than to have to deal with crooked people, especially those who are friendly to their faces but are all the while plotting mischief against the very people to whom they are being friendly.

It is one of the tough things that we have to face and deal with as and when it arises, and the Christian believer has to be careful not to be naïve about such things. Plenty of people are not sincere. Nor are they transparently honest. They are out for what they consider to be their own good. Christians need to be wary of them and to counter their deceitfulness with honesty and truth even if this means confronting them with evidence of their false appearances. Jesus warned his disciples, “I am sending you out like sheep to a pack of wolves. You must be as cautious as snakes and as gentle as doves” (Matt 10:16 GNB)

PRAYER THOUGHT

Lord, help me to be careful not to get caught out by trickery and deception.

When Barry opened my Faith for Daily Living for the first time this was the page it opened to - he called me and said - "read this - it is about Sulemane Cabir". That was my thought when I read this on 26 January 2010 - I also thought Lord this is about Sulemane Cabir.

Unfortunately for us we did get caught out by the trickery and deception of Sulemane I.H. Cabir.

Lord You are all knowing and You were there with all our dealings with Sulemane Cabir, each and every conversation - You are the Truth, the Way and the Life - we praise Your Holy Name.

God has been with us - All Praise & Glory to Him

Thank you for your comments and prayers. It has not been an easy year.

I can testify that our wonderful God has been with us and has blessed us in so many ways. All Praise and Glory to Him.
