He was an undercover detective for thirty-one years under the Anti-Gang Unit in the South African Police Service (SAPS). Charl worked in the Cape Flats, an area that is highly affected by the gang culture.
His investigations on the rot in SAPS led to police arresting Christiaan Prinsloo (the police weapons' expert) and many cops (current and former) for supplying more than 2,000 guns from South Africa's police armoury to gangs. These guns killed over 250 children in the Cape Town Flats.
Kinnear drafted an affidavit in 2019, revealing how some of his colleagues were working with the gangs. In the same year, the police guarded his home 24/7 after he survived an assassination attempt.
The police later withdrew the protection even when Kinnear was the key to bringing down more organized crime syndicates. Nicolette believes Charl Kinnear assassination was a warning from the criminal world to SAPS' Anti-Gang Unit.
