Joburg lawyer Arnold Mkhabela, notorious for stealing from his clients, who were mostly Road Accident Fund RAF claimants, has been banned from practising as a lawyer.
The Pretoria high court found last week that Mkhabela was not a fit and proper person to practice law after more than 70 complaints were lodged against him by his clients.
Mkhabela is among 21 legal practitioners in the country who have been struck from the roll since January, while 38 others have been suspended, according to the LPC.
