Milk & honey for the GTM’s lawyers R48 000 per day!
A number of lawyers seem to have enjoyed a rather profitable time doing legal work for the GTM in the past few years, and senior members of the law profession say a forensic investigation should be done to determine the acceptability of fees that have been paid by the GTM. One lawyer charged the GTM an astonishing R100 per minute for telephone “consulta-
tions”. This amounts to R100 x 60 minutes = R6 000 per hour x 8 hours = R48 000 per day! The same lawyer charged R500 “to receive an answering affidavit per fax from correspondent attorneys” and then added R10 000 “for perusal of the affidavit”. To travel to Pretoria the lawyer charged R12 000 for time spent travelling, R2 000 for
petrol inclusive of Toll-gate (which is extremely reasonable) and R3 184 for “travelling to and from Tzaneen to Pretoria”, for a total of R17 184 for a trip to Pretoria and back to Tzaneen. • On page 3 you can read more about the seemingly exorbitant costs charged by attorneys, plus a few other matters relating to the GTM’s legal expenses.

Borgtog vir Krüger

‘n Motor wat in spitsverkeer in Voortrekkerweg, Tzaneen, onverklaarbaar en uit die bloute aan die brand geslaan het, het groot skok vir die bestuurder veroorsaak... en vir ‘n kwaai verkeersknoop by die dorp se hoofingang uit die R71 gesorg. ‘n Ander motoris het vinnig met ‘n brandblusser gehelp en die brand is gou geblus, maar steeds met groot skade aan die voertuig. Niemand is in die voorval beseer nie.

Mnr Conrad Krüger, bekende prokureur van Tzaneen, is verlede Donderdag op borgtog van R25 000 vrygelaat. Hy moes ook sy paspoort aan die Valke oorhandig en verder mag hy slegs met “deeglike vooraf kennisgewing” aan die openbare vervolger en die ondersoekbeampte in die saak, a/o Mvinjelwa, buite die landsgrense reis. Krüger is die Dinsdag in Midrand in hegtenis geneem, nadat ’n klag van diefstal van ‘n helikopter teen hom by die Polisie ingedien is. Hy het vlugtig in die landdroshof in Alexandra verskyn. Die saak is vir verdere ondersoek tot 5 Mei uitgestel.
Stuart Lunt, a Stanford Lake College Grade 12 pupil, achieved the almost impossible, when he scored 100% for the Talent Search Computer Olympiad 2015. The Talent Search Olympiad is open to all and tests computational thinking. The names of the top pupils are forwarded to the department of science and technology and to the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation. Last year Josh Selfe of SLC (he was then also in Grade 12) was listed in the top results of the 2014 Talent Search Olympiad.
