Johannesburg - The attorney representing airline Velvet Sky in a liquidation application it faces withdrew from the case on Tuesday.

"I have just signed a notice of withdrawal," said Ahmed Amod ahead of the application set down for Wednesday in the High Court in Pietermaritzburg.

He cited personal reasons.

BP Southern Africa has filed papers for the liquidation of the airline which has been flying for less than a year, because it is allegedly in arrears on its fuel bill.

On February 24 BP Southern Africa applied to the court for the provisional liquidation of the airline, which allegedly owes BP R29m for aviation fuel.

Argument is expected on Wednesday.

Amod said he was still a director of the airline.

On Monday, the liquidators of Pamodzi Gold Mining Group announced they planned to lay charges of fraud against Amod, who is also a lawyer for Aurora Empowerment Systems, the company appointed to manage the mine

Getting rather messy this.

Velvet Sky have links to Aurora and the lawyer for Aurora (charged with fraud ) is the same lawyer trying to hold off Velvet Sky liquidation ?

They give the guy who failed on the aurora mine the opportunity to run the airline? Wonder how much of that money made its way to the middle east...
