A funder of the Free Market Foundation has gone to court to contest the legality of the organisation's board, which was appointed last year.

A Gqeberha businessman is set to appear in court after he was allegedly found in possession of counterfeit goods worth millions of rand.A funder of the Free Market Foundation has gone to court to contest the legality of the organisation's board, which was appointed last year.

Hull approached the Johannesburg high court in August challenging the legitimacy of the board of the FMF, arguing that it was improperly constituted. The matter revolves around a meeting on July 29 last year at which a new board was supposed to be elected. Van Schalkwyk, who deposed an answering affidavit on behalf of the board, asked the court to dismiss Hull's application with a punitive cost order.

Van Schalkwyk detailed efforts by what he referred to as the “Stratcom group” headed by Louw, whose aim was to appoint what he referred to as an “exclusive” board of seven members, as opposed to an inclusive board of 15 members. Van Schalkwyk said on the day of the election on July 29, an exclusive “board” of seven was announced unlawfully as an elected board.
