A Free State high court judge, Mpina Abednego Mathebula, has failed in his bid to permanently stop the continuation of his theft and money-laundering case related to the alleged misappropriation of Road Accident Fund RAF monies when he was an attorney.
The Supreme Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed Mathebulas appeal against a Free State High Court order, which had dismissed his application for a permanent stay of prosecution.
The criminal charges Mathebula face arose from his time while running a law firm in Sasolburg more than 10 years ago and have nothing to do with his duties or service as a judge.
