Controversial attorney Zuko Nonxuba and his wife Alicia Novelano Nonxuba escaped bankruptcy after the East London High Court dismissed separate applications for their sequestration to pay R49.6 million in medical negligence settlement monies.
On Tuesday, the court found the money that Johannesburg-based attorneys’ firm Nonxuba Inc allegedly owed children and their mothers whom they represented in medical negligence cases against the Eastern Cape health department, could be recovered from the firm’s trust account, which had a credit balance of R105 million.
Judge Denzil Potgieter found there was "no acceptable evidence of a deficit" of funds in the firm’s trust account as claimed by the women, nor could theft of funds be inferred.
