Malema postponement application dismissed

[LazyLion]

The application to have the sequestration case against EFF leader Julius Malema postponed was dismissed by the High Court in Pretoria on Monday.

"I am of the view that the arrival of council for the respondent (Malema) this morning (with the application for postponement) is nothing but a delaying tactic and abuse of the system, which the court should not tolerate," Judge Bill Prinsloo said in his judgment.

"The application for postponement is dismissed."

This came after Malema's legal team brought an application asking for the matter to be postponed because he wanted to have an admission of liability, which he signed last year during negotiations with the SA Revenue Service (Sars), set aside.

He also wanted the sequestration case postponed until his pending criminal case was finalised.

The Sars opposed the application for a postponement.

According to court documents, Malema owed R16m plus interest after failing to submit tax returns between 2006 and 2010.

In 2010, Sars contacted Malema about his failure to submit tax returns.

It took Malema 18 months, after many attempts by Sars, to file his outstanding returns.

Malema also failed to register the Ratanang Trust for tax purposes, and Sars had to do this on his behalf.

MALEMA PROVISIONALLY SEQUESTRATED

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema was provisionally sequestrated by the High Court in Pretoria on Monday.

"I am satisfied that the applicant [SA Revenue Service] has established the requirements for the grant of a provisional sequestration," Judge Bill Prinsloo said in his judgment.

A draft order was signed and made an order of court. Reading the order into the record Prinsloo said: "The estate of the respondent [Malema] is placed in provisional sequestration."

Malema and anyone else who did not want the order to be made final had until 10am on May 26 to give reasons as to why this should not happen.

So after voting day.

So he may get a seat and then lose it in the same month.

 

[MKFrost]

Watch how quickly this matter will be resolved by the courts. Come election day no Malema.....

 

[herbertk]

And there goes the EFF.

One can hope!

 

[semaphore]

Where is Redeemed rofl i would love to see how response to this.

This one baffled me he is out on bail already for a criminal offense surely the speeding is an arrest, is he not then supposed not to get bail ?

 

[daveza]

One can hope!

Well he personally won't be able to sit in parliament - whether the EFF can still function , who knows.

OK, so what does "provisional sequestration" entail exactly?
I'm a complete n00b when it comes to things like this.

They can appeal it with proof that he shouldn't be basically, but with SARS evidence the likely hood of that happening is highly unlikely.

 

[Seriously]

Could not happen to a more deserving guy. Now waiting for Redeemed to defend his king!

 

[Sinbad]

So does that now mean the administrators will have full access to all his financial accounts/information? ie, more than has been made available before?

If so, I foresee interesting times ahead... And some comrades sweating...

I don't know. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, but now he has nothing to lose anymore.
To quote Lyndon B Johnson

It's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

He has a lot to lose, his corruption charges are still pending so he can still go to jail for a very long time.

The only reason I want to know is since things add up and with the provisional sequestration which is surely a win by SARS since it will be severely hard to prove otherwise, must tie this man down. Up until today I don’t know how the IEC got him and others to establish the EFF.

The only escape here is by bribing or blackmailing the “apex” corrupt in SA, those with an ulterior motive might also support him into the clear.

May our law live up to its positive reputation.
