ANA reports that on Monday Solidarity’s legal team gave yet another urgent instruction to the sheriff to proceed with the seizure of Brian Molefe’s property to pay outstanding legal costs of approximately another R200,000 owed to the trade in terms of a court order.
Anton van der Bijl, Solidarity’s head of legal services, said: “Molefe is running out of time. So far, he managed to keep the sheriff at bay by paying the money in bits, while he is actually just buying time. If he fails to pay the outstanding money to Solidarity the sheriff will be at his door again and he will be forced to part with property to pay our legal costs.” Last month, Molefe unsuccessfully went to the Constitutional Court to have, among other things, the cost order against him set aside. Van der Bijl said Molefe was struggling to come up with R200,000, not to mention the millions he owed to the Eskom Pension Fund. Solidarity advised that it had not heard anything about the “aggressive” legal action that the Eskom Pension Fund intended to take to recover the approximate R10-million Molefe owed the fund. On Monday, the union issued a letter to the fund, asking to have feedback on the steps taken in that regard.
