A decade on, Moseneke legal saga continues

A long-standing legal dispute involving retired Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke's family-owned property company, Encha Properties, continues as businessman Robin Vela seeks over R50 million for his 10% equity stake. The conflict began when Vela withdrew from the partnership due to unpaid dividends and interest, as well as failure to compensate him for sales, fees, and loans since 2009. Despite a 2016 court ruling ordering Encha to buy out Vela's stake, the company has delayed compliance, leading to contempt of court charges. Legal proceedings have seen asset attachments, partial payments, and multiple expert valuations, with recent developments including the appointment of independent referees to assess the share's worth. Vela continues to push for resolution, highlighting ongoing delays and lack of cooperation from Encha.
