High-living attorney and multimillionaire Zuko Nonxuba has at last been suspended from practising, pending an application to strike him from the roll of attorneys. It has taken more than a decade, several scathing high court judgments and dozens of complaints against the fraud accused attorney to get to this point.
Attorney Zuko Nonxuba, who stands accused of misappropriating hundreds of millions of rand in medical negligence payouts for severely disabled children, has finally been suspended from practice after years of legal wrangling.
After almost three years on the run, two people have appeared in court for allegedly defrauding the KwaZulu-Natal Blind and Deaf Society out of around R12 million.
While the provincial treasury is taking extraordinary legal measures to staunch the outflow of billions of rand in payments for past medico-legal claims, the crippled health department is steadily losing new negligence claims against it and clocking up a whole new debt nightmare for the treasury.
