In a shocking case of legal malpractice, attorney Zuko Nonxuba is accused of embezzling millions from trust funds intended for children with cerebral palsy. These children were victims of medical negligence, and their families had trusted Nonxuba to secure settlements from the Department of Health. Instead, he allegedly siphoned off the funds, leaving the children vulnerable and in dire need of compensation.
Despite the gravity of the situation, the Legal Practice Council (LPC) reportedly failed to act on multiple complaints over several years. The LPC only began addressing the issue after court orders and pressure from a group of concerned lawyers. The legal team is now seeking urgent action and restitution for the victims.
The legal battle continues as the LPC, under pressure, has been ordered to trace the victims and make timely payouts from the remaining trust funds. This case highlights serious concerns about accountability within the legal profession and the need for swift justice for vulnerable clients.
