Earlier this week, AfriForum received an electronic proof of payment to the value of R316 000 from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), which they had to cough up for legal costs owed to AfriForum. This payment stems from a cost order imposed on the EFF in September this year after the protracted land invasion case in which AfriForum was victorious. In the meantime, it has come to light that the proof of payment document, which the EFF’s lawyers, Ian Levitt Attorneys, sent to AfriForum on 6November 2023, contains many dubious details and therefore appears to be a falsified document. The funds mentioned above do reflect in AfriForum’s bank account although Standard Bank has confirmed that the proof of payment concerned has indeed been doctored.
