A Quest for Justice (ePub)

It's a proverbial battle of David versus Goliath. A senior government employee has been embroiled in a bitter battle against one of the country's largest financiers, Wesbank. His Story is mired in alleged fraud, corruption and misconduct. The Grahamstown High Court this week dismissed with costs an appeal by Wesbank, a division of FirstRand - for the third time - against earlier rulings made in favour of Mzukisi Ndara. In the pursuit for justice, Ndara has approached several high-ranking politicians, Parliament as the custodian of the country's laws, the Hawks and the courts. But 15 years into the battle, the matter has yet to be resolved. And some dockets containing vital evidence have gone missing. Ndara has now turned to the Director of Public Prosecutions as a last resort.

Based on your statement, together with police evidential material and the circumstances of this matter, Wesbank and or its employees breached the contract in the form of misrepresentations and acted in violation of various statutes as alluded to in your reports.

Your story needs to be told for business and government to understand they can't keep turning a blind eye to their people who believe the end justifies the means regarding profit making.

A seventeen year journey of sheer guts and resilience... - Dr Charity Hove October 6, 2021

It is a baffling, bewildering and unsettling story best summarized by your insightful self-observation (Part One: page 31), 'my inner desire for truth'. You write with fluency and power, the first part of your account, embracing your earlier life, is amusing, wry, entertaining and in parts engrossing. The later parts make for more challenging reading, because of the anguish of the cumulating injustices, delays, lawyerly and institutional disingenuousness and evasions you suffered. Your account is truly a Dickensian tale of the law's delays and obscurities, of lawyers and journalists' evasions, with very occasional light points of courage, loyalty and competence.
