A bogus attorney who conned a businessman out of tens of thousands of rands is finally heading to prison after the Johannesburg magistrates court activated his suspended three-year sentence.
Senior magistrate Pieter du Plessis revoked Zuko Madikanes freedom on Friday by invoking Section 2979 of the Criminal Procedure Act after Madikane failed to pay court-ordered restitution.
The case dates back to 2019, when Madikane and his co-accused, Judge Sibanda, posed as an attorney and an advocate to defraud the owner of a high-turnover News Cafe in Newtown.
