The Legal Practice Council has indicated their intent to open a criminal case against disgraced Malalane attorney Zietta Janse van Rensburg. This comes after Zietta defied Mpumalanga High Court Judge Brian Mashile’s judgment in April, which denied her application for leave to appeal against her suspension as a lawyer.
Despite Zietta being suspended with immediate effect, she continued doing legal work and even represented a client in a case heard by Mashile on May 21. The opposing advocate, on behalf of the applicant, told Mashile that the documentation Zietta sent on behalf of the defendants was submitted at the last minute and that the ‘Notice of intention to oppose’ was not signed by an attorney. He questioned whether Zietta was duly authorised to appear in the High Court.
When confronted with the documentation, Johan Janse van Rensburg said he had no knowledge of the court documents and that the party involved was not his client.He denied having signed the documents and confirmed that he enquired with Zietta about the matter, and she confirmed she had indeed signed the documentation.
