Practicing advocate. Enjoys a good debate. Strategy and law. The facts are also important!

A Zimbabwean national has been arrested in Sandton JHB. She was practicing as an Advocate and had a fake matric certificate and fake SA ID book.

[Franny Rabkin @franstaar]

Pabasa says the current composition of the JSC is unlawful because its advocate representatives - nominated by the GCB and AFT - do not represent the advocates profession as a whole. It says current interviews are vulnerable to a legality challenge on this basis. 👀

The total collapse of the rule of law is kept at bay by a very limited number of individuals. Cant rely on the Government to protect the rule of law

CHIEF JUSTICE ZONDO

I chaired the State Capture commission which produced a good report.

Some crooks who were implicated in the report challenged my findings. I think there are 5 or 7 of them.

I approached the State Attorney to oppose them. The State Attorney said they have no resources to assist.
I understood.

I then decided to approach private lawyers to assist in defending me & my work. Many Patriotic lawyers agreed to assist, even for free.

A year later the State Attorney still hasn't come to assist.

Had those not stood up to assist, I would probably would have received a default judgment as no one would have opposed the crooks

I am warning people to never rely on other people, especially the State, for things to happen.

Just do things the way you can without the State. I am doing it too

3 judges ruled against Jordan Peterson after he challenged a decision by the Ontario College of Psychologists ordering him to attend professionalism training, due to his public statements that could be regarded as "disgraceful" & posed "moderate risks of harm to the public".

[PRESS STATEMENT] On 17 Aug, the Solicitor General provided an update on civil claims paid to victims of the #MarikanaMassacre in a media briefing. In it, he made various factually inaccurate comments concerning the claims of the deceased miners’ families.
