A special tribunal is set to hear an urgent preservation order against Kgosi Lekabe, the former head of the office of the state attorney in Johannesburg, who recently resigned under a cloud.
The justice department said at the time scams which had been uncovered included the “non-timely filing of court papers in litigation matters, undue and particularly exorbitant unauthorised out-of-court settlements even in instances where such matters could have been defended on behalf of the state”. Lekabe was alleged to have conspired to obtain a settlement behind the government’s back in late 2019.
Both were found to have acted in cahoots in settling the case of Ayanda Kunene, who claimed damages after he was shot by a policeman during a hijacking. He was first charged in connection with the hijacking but was later cleared. He is now a paraplegic.
