New executor insists that Minister Mokgethi is failing to account for “missing” millions

The Minister of Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs Anna Mokgethi’s legal woes are far from over –  a lawyer who replaced her as the executor of the late Abdul Joseph’s estate  insists that she is failing to account for millions of Pula belonging to the estate.  

Attorney Lesedi Moahi argues in his affidavit that upon his appointment as Executor of the Estate in question he undertook a comprehensive and thorough study of the record contained in the Estate file. “I also, naturally, had numerous engagements with the Master concerning steps undertaken in the process required to win up the Estate,” said Moahi. He said he did this in order that “I have a full appreciation of what had been done and what was outstanding.”  He therefore stated that the numerous defaults detailed in the declaration are evident from a perusal of the said Estate File. “There is simply no record and/or information that evidences the performance of obligations which are the subject of the allegations contained in the attached declaration. If the Defendant refutes what I say here I respectfully challenge her to produce the proof as well as the required explanation of why the same is otherwise not contained in the Estate File.”  By the attached declaration, Moahi is making reference to an application proceeding in which his lawyers are accusing Mokgethi of violating numerous of her legal obligations to and in respect of the Estate, and did so in direct violation of relevant provisions of the Administration of Estates Act. Moahi’s lawyers are also demanding more than P2 million from Mokgethi.
