Court instructs lawyer Tumi Mokwena to open financial books for scrutiny

The Law Society of the Northern Provinces has been granted permission to inspect all accounting records of Polokwane attorney Tumi Mokwena following complaints of misconduct.

The matter has its origin in the complaint lodged with the Law Society by a member of the Bjatladi Communal Property Association , which is the beneficiary of the Zebediela Citrus Estate through the land reform programme. Mahlangu Attorneys also complained to the Law Society about a R150,000-deposit made into Mokwena’s account, and there has been no accounting.

The application was brought by businessman Sthembiso Bethuel Bosch, a trustee of Majola Trust, who claims he deposited R1.5 million and a further R150,000 into Mokwena’s trust account for the purchase of a property in 2014. Bosch claims this did not happen. However, Mokwena, in his answering affidavit, said the money was meant for a new business venture with the applicants in the music industry through a company known as TM Performing Arts Management Ltd.
