History of questionable conduct marks magistrate Kholeka Bodlani's career

It appears that Bodlani has some skeletons in her cupboard. And they don't appear to be smallanyana. In fact the imagery of skeletons does not do justice to what we are looking at here. Skeletons don't smell. They are dry.In 2001 Bodlani was arrested and appeared at the Umtata High Court facing a fraud charge involving R4.5m . She had allegedly committed fraud while she was still a public prosecutor in Lusikisiki, in the Eastern Cape.

Apart from the specific matter the court was dealing with at that time, there were 10 other matters of fraud that she was facing.However, judge David van Zyl said although the state had failed to prove its case against Bodlani, there were a number of factors that raised serious concerns as to her suitability to be appointed as a magistrate.

Nine years later, Bodlani is still practising as a magistrate. Granted, she was acquitted on fraud charges dating to her days in the Eastern Cape. But, as Van Zyl pointed out, her character raises concerns as to her suitability for the office she occupies. Current complaints relating to her professional conduct can only reinforce these concerns.
