Complaint 1 arose from the sale of a property. Mr Kondlo was instructed to handle the transfer of the property, which was sold for 
R220 000. The buyer had paid the complainant R30 000 directly and a further R190 000 was paid to Mr Kondlo’s trust account during November 2019. The complaint was made because Mr Kondlo paid the seller only R35 000 of the R190 000, as a result of which she was left homeless. She had planned on using the money to build a new home for herself.

Also, LPC tells you that you have not complied with the requirements and wena you decide to force admission knowing that they haven’t issued the letter of no objection. 👎🏾

[Tina @Tina_Hokwana]

“In the Applicant’s founding affidavit it is averred that counsel who appeared on behalf of the Respondent during the admission application on 21 January 2025 misled the presiding judges by failing to disclose the absence of a letter of no objection after it transpired that one of the presiding judges mistakenly remarked that there was in fact such a letter on the court record.” Yoh!
