The Legal Practice Council wants Zietta Janse van Rensburg to be found in contempt of the high court after she continued practising.
The fate of Malalane attorney Zietta Janse van Rensburg still hangs in the balance after the urgent application launched in the Mpumalanga High Court by the Legal Practice Council of South Africa, was postponed until today.
The LPC brought the application after Janse van Rensburg continued practising as an attorney even though she was suspended in April and her leave to appeal her suspension a few weeks later was not granted. A few minutes into the trial, after acknowledging that he knew her and questioning her on her appearance and robing, Mashile said: “I have nothing to say to you; I don’t see you,” and continued with the court proceeding.
Yesterday’s proceedings started with Mashile questioning the late filing of Janse van Rensburg’s documents for the day’s proceedings.
