Solidarity instructs sheriff to seize Molefe’s estate

Trade union Solidarity’s legal team on Friday gave the sheriff instruction to seize goods at Brian Molefe’s property in Cornwall Estate, Pretoria.

The funds will be used to pay Solidarity’s outstanding legal costs of about R600 000, as set out in a court order.

The union said Molefe had paid the union only R100 000 within the seven-day period he had been given to settle the amount for Solidarity’s legal costs.

Solidarity said it would sell his goods on public auction.

“We will not let up until Molefe has paid every penny. These purposeful steps serve as a warning to other tax plunderers. Their days of lawlessness are numbered,” Solidarity legal services head Anton van der Bijl said in a statement issued on Friday.

Molefe earlier this month tried to have the cost order against him set aside in the Constitutional Court, but his application was denied.

The union added that the Eskom Pension Fund had also indicated that if it did not receive the R10-million owed to it by Molefe, it will take legal steps to recover the money from him.

Meanwhile, Solidarity is waiting for the National Prosecuting Authority’s confirmation on whether it would proceed with Molefe’s prosecution.

Alternatively, the union will approach Advocate Gerrie Nel from AfriForum to prosecute Molefe privately.
