15 Comments Buy cocaine kings house in Llandudno, Cape Town

Article written by the awesome Sean Lloyd on the 21 Jul 2008

I absolutely LOVE stories like this one! You might recall sometime ago, some absolute legend was found floating in the sea off the Irish coast, surrounded by, oh..um…R1 billion worth of cocaine! Can you imagine? That must be absolutely hilarious. Rescue crews are used to finding people on trees, or in life rafts, but to be floating on bags of cocaine, you are a special kind of special! (Click HERE for the story)

The Po-Po pleased with a catch of R1 billion!

Anyway, our boy Martin Wanden had been living the true excess lifestyle in Cape Town, but a little bit beyond the usual realms that SLXS might promote. Basically he was this cocaine king and decided that Cape Town would be a nice little point to enjoy his drug money. And Cape Town is a great place to enjoy your money, as we all know. But Martin Wanden had gone overboard and was basically boning his wife fuelled by drug money. I assume he boned his wife…

So they find him, clinging to life on bags of cocaine off the Irish coast. Funny enough, him clinging to life was basically him clinging not to his lavish life of old, but to his new life of taking it up the ass with no lube. Awesome!

It’s funny how quickly things change. I mean just the other day I was having a threesome with some supermodels from Brazil, who were on assignment in Cape Town. Now I’m stuck dating a lousy American supermodel, but I take what I can get.

I think Martin Wanden would rather have died off the Irish coast as high as a kite than die sober in a prison with a staunch one in his zero. I mean that would be my choice…surrounded by cocaine…floating in the ocean with the suns rays beaming down on me…in fact that could have been the perfect way to go. But Martins survival instincts kicked and and he would not give up. I will not die today (I think Leo said this in “The Beach”) Martin Wanden will never go on to star in The Beach like Leo, but he will be the bee-atch who will have some guy in him.

I would have taken gulps of sea water and cocaine and gone peacefully like Leo did in Titanic. Leo even came back to life and got to bone Gisele Bundchen a couple of years later. And then Bar Rafaeli. Sometimes dying just seems like the right option. You might not come back to shag 100 virgins, but two super- supermodels would be fine for me thanks!

To quote the Sunday Times:

“SA authorities hope the luxury home, which boasts a spa-bath, a wraparound terrace with a pool, four-car garage and views of the coast, will fetch around R14 million”

Martin Wanden’s Cape Town house in Llandudno

Martin Wanden’s other lair in Hout Bay, Cape Town

Not too bad Nige! I would buy it and rent it out all year round as a Cape Town villa, you will make some good cash. I was at Villa Lara the other day in Llandudno, and I’m sure that’s a cool R20000 per day. You know…obviously I don’t know too much about Cape Town villas…I’m not really in the industry…but we have connections.

But anyway the house in Llandudno, Cape Town, will be auctioned off on August 8, 2008 at 12h00 by ClareMart auction. The auction will take place on site at 4 Sandy Bay Road Llandudno. The next show date for the property is Sunday 27 July 2008 from 2pm – 5pm.

Funny enough, we hang out in the same areas as Martin Wanden did, to those interested. Click HERE to see Casa del Holiday, where we spend our summers in Llandudno. And click HERE for Villa Sandenbergh, where we host our parties in Hout Bay. RAD!

I knew you would like to know this, nothing captures the imagination quite like drugs and luxury houses in Cape Town!

Indeed. If we all could only be so lucky to lead his and your lifestyles. Boning supermodels, laying on barges of coke of the coast of Ireland. Indeed.

When I finally make it to South Africa for the World Cup, I’m looking you up Sean Lloyd.

u dont know anything about the situation, these people have children & if you think by writing this stuff about them on the internet is making things better u r wrong. Make sure u get ur information correct b4 mugging urself off.

Martin Wandon & Sonya Wandon were better people than u can ever hope to be. Good luck to Martin & may Sonya now rest in peace!

Hi Jaime

I understand your point of view, however all these things were were written before Sonya had passed away. (This was written about a year and a half ago)

So you're saying I'm a bad person for being a normal member of society, but Martin is better than me for being found off the Irish coast clinging to bags of cocaine? I'm sorry, but this is not a situation that you accidentally find yourself in, it's a conscious decision. I don't touch drugs and so I'm very unlikely to accidentally find myself in a multi million rand drug bust.

Do you realise how many peoples lives are destroyed through drugs? From shoot outs between the drug cartels, to drug mules being sentenced to death, to people dying from addictions. The fact is, Martin was implicated in drugs, and drugs devastate families and communities. The implications of being involved in drugs spread deeper than many people think.

Hey Zaza

Finally someone who understands this place, ha ha! I'm not too worried about people slating me, it's fine if theu have a decent backup argument. But to say drug dealers are better than me is pushing it. Sure, someone like Mother Theresa is a better person than me...but you know, I just dig to talk rubbish and party.

Shot for the kind words, I'll try keeping up the madness, and I also promise to never grow up too much :)

Hi sean I appreciate what you are saying, as I have seen so many lives destroyed by drugs, but as Jaime said there are children involved in all of this mess and sonya was my cousin, therefore sometimes you need to think about the wider picture before you make a joke of these things ….. I did not know her husband, but I knew my cousin very well, she was not only a cousin, but also a friend. She leaves behind 3 children, one of whom has lost her mum and also her dad as he will be spending the reat of his life in prison…. I am not condoning what he has done, but please be thoughtfull for those left behind. Jaime and I are both related to sonya, and know alot more of the situation than what everyone has read in the papers, we are both parents and obviously seeing sonyas children burying their mother has had a great effect on us all …

Hi Funda

Yeah sure, and I completely see your point of view.

A little background to the thought behind writing this:

I started this website while studying journalism, at the time writing for the ‘shock factor’ and actually running this blog as an experiment for college.

But I don’t wish their situation upon anyone, and do apologize for any offense caused, truly.

As I say, I was a young journalism student, experimenting with writing, seeing what works online and what doesn’t, as blogging was a fairly new thing back them.

But if you do follow the newer writing, I think you’ll see things have changed ;)

Kind regards

Sean
