A businessman who paid R14.4m for a property to build a new store has discovered he has no legitimate documents to prove ownership. The case involves Onderberg attorney Zietta Janse van Rensburg, whose suspension appeal was heard in court.

Almost five years after a businessman paid R14.4m for a property to build a new store, he is out of pocket and has no legitimate documents to prove ownership of the erf he bought.

Guarantees had to be issued for R7.5m, which was payable to Seramix upon registration and would reportedly be done by Van Rensburg Attorneys. A month later, the said attorney received a title deed from Zietta, which reflected that the property with its erf description was transferred.But something was amiss, and the attorney investigated the validity of the title deed.

The sales agreement was supposedly signed by Van der Merwe, the director of Seramix, on March 27, 2018, but this was impossible, as Van der Merwe had passed away on December 11, 2017, long before any agreement had been concluded.Where did the money go? In November 2023, these attorneys approached Imraan Suliman and Rochelle Maistry, the alleged proprietors of the firm, to clarify their involvement.
