Meintjies allege ties to PA councillor

Meintjes was an attorney of the High Court who, according to her LinkedIn profile, was admitted as an attorney three years ago. She began her career at BDK Attorneys before moving to DVB Attorneys in November 2024. On Tuesday, Spangenberg Attorneys Inc. paid tribute to her, calling her death tragic and stating that "her passing was a painful reminder that no member of the legal profession should have to fear for their life while doing their work."

According to the Daily Maverick, her connection to Patriotic Alliance (PA) ward councillor Juwairiya Kaldine has drawn attention in the wake of her killing. Meintjes had previously acted as Kaldine's legal representative in a protection order and harassment matter. Kaldine, who represents a ward in Eldorado Park, confirmed the professional relationship.

PA councillor's controversial background

Kaldine has previously attracted scrutiny over her alleged ties to criminal elements. In January 2024, a recording surfaced in which she allegedly made claims about PA secretary-general Chinelle Stevens and Stevens' late father, William 'Red' Stevens, who was reportedly linked to Cape Town's underworld. PA leader Gayton McKenzie responded at the time, saying the recording had been doctored.

Kaldine's name also featured in parliamentary hearings this year focused on allegations that a criminal network known as the Big Five had infiltrated the state. A handwritten letter, purportedly from convicted inmate Jermaine Prim, levelled accusations against McKenzie involving drugs and Western Cape gangsters. McKenzie dismissed the claims as laughable.
