<\/p>\n
Die eis spruit uit Block se destydse korrupsieverhoor waarin hy in \u2019n eedsverklaring sou beweer Kgomo het aan die voorsittende beampte ges\u00ea: \u201cConvict the bastard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Block het in sy verhoor in 2016 voor regter Violet Phatsoane in \u2019n eedsverklaring ges\u00ea Kgomo het onbehoorlike invloed op haar as die voorsittende beampte uitgeoefen. Dit was tydens die saak waarin Block en Christo Scholtz aangekla was van korrupte, peperduur huurkontrakte vir staatsdepartemente aan Scholtz se Trifecta-maatskappy. Block en Scholtz is skuldig bevind en n\u00e1 \u2019n suksesvolle app\u00e8laansoek na die app\u00e8lhof is Block se korrupsieskuldigbevinding en vonnis van 15 jaar gevangenisstraf bekragtig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Klag is ook by die Regterlike Dienskommissie (RDK) ingedien maar is intussen deur die RDK verwerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kgomo ontken dat so \u2019n gesprek ooit plaasgevind het of hy die uitspraak gemaak het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Block en sy prokureurs, wyle Abel (Dali) Mjila en Nano Matlala, ontken hulle het lasterlike bewering gemaak of publiseer. In sy verweer ontken Block dat hy Kgomo se bevoegdheid en geskiktheid betwyfel het of dat die lasterlike bewering gepubliseer is. Block s\u00ea hy het bloot die raad van sy regsverteenwoordigers aanvaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n
Mjila het destyds in sy verweer aangevoer Matlala het hom van die voorval ingelig. Omdat dit hoors\u00ea-getuienis was en hy geen bewyse gehad het nie, het hy ene adv. Mphaga SC vir raad genader. Hulle het vir Block ingelig, wat moes besluit wat hy wou doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matlala, wat in Pretoria praktiseer, het intussen sy teeneis van R4,5 miljoen teen Kgomo laat vaar. Daarin het hy aangevoer hy moes tyd en aandag aan Kgomo se \u201conwettige, ongrondwetlike en kwaadwillige eis\u201d bestee en het daardeur sy inkomste verloor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matlala voer aan hy het nooit \u2019n gesprek met \u2019n onge\u00efdentifiseerde regter gehad of enige bewering aan Mjila oorgedra nie. Die lasterlike bewerings en beweerde reputasieskade moet bewys word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regter Nathan Erasmus lei die verhoor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Intussen is die minister van justisie en korrektiewe dienste, sy nasionale- en streekskommissaris, die Upington gevangenishoof en die paroolraad Vrydag 3 November in \u2019n hofbevel beveel om redes te gee hoekom hulle nie weens minagting van die hof 30 dae gevangenisstraf opgel\u00ea moet word nie. Hulle moet voor of op 10 November \u2019n vroe\u00ebre hofbevel van 15 September nakom, waarin gelas is dat die paroolraad Block se mislukte paroolaansoek binne 20 dae hersien. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Singabakho Nxumalo, woordvoerder van die departement van korrektiewe dienste (DKD), s\u00ea dat Block steeds sy vonnis uitdien en dat hy nie vir presidensi\u00eble kwytskelding kwalifiseer nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het nog nie sy minimum vonnis uitgedien nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
