discrediting the threat is the normal action of
those at the top, The sheriffs offices are a
money making racket same as most other ventures
in the legal arena. I have long said that
justice and the law have nothing to do with each
other, The law being used to threaten and
discipline those who don't have the money to buy
their way out of the problem.

All my furniture were removed by the sheriff AND
auctioned off due to a lack in communication
between the sheriff and it's attorney when
arrears were paid in due time.
The sheriff's department admitted to wrong
doing, but also went on to say that it can't be
used against them in a court of law. Apparently
a woman in the sheriff's department who was
heavily pregnant gave the go ahead for the
auction just before she went on maternity leave.
At the end, the sherrifs' attorney said he'll
help us to get our stuff back by suing the
sheriff, but after a year long battle with the
attorney who kept us running back and forth with
quotes, the attorney turned on us saying we
didn't give him what was required & therefore
the case was closed AND THAT attorney threatened
US with legal action should we take it any
further!?
It has taken us TWO long hard years to build up
our lives again. They literally took everything,
we only had a bed to sleep on and a fridge.
SO I fully believe the above article.

THis has been going on FOR YONKS.... since the
50'S...
I have seen BRAND NEW motor vehicles getting
sold for 15% of book value, to "FRIENDS OF THE
SHERRIF"... as with Engineering Machinery...
If you want to see CORRUPTION at it's HIGHEST/
LOWEST, go investigate the SHERRIF of the
COURT!!!

most sheriffs are uneducated thugs that get away
with theft and hide behind a so called court
order that was granted without even hearing the
side of the defendents story . A friend of mine
had his house broken into by a sheriff and his
gang of thieves and countless items were stolen
and after reporting this to the SAP it came out
the sheriff was actually looking for the
previous tenant and not my friend , only some
goods were returned but others were never found
. the whole judicial system is a bad joke in SA
.

The office of the sheriff is corrupt. In
Verulam, the officer of the sheriff colludes
with paeople that he is meant to serve notices
on, obviously for a bribe. It's virtually
impossible to serve notices on certain business
people in Verulam.

I know this for a fact, I have been in a pub
where a person who is working with the sheriffs
office has been braging about attachinging stuff
in businesses and selling stuff privately and
even taking orders for what he can get.They even
go into locked up businesses after hours to get
there orders. The whole bunch is rotten to the
core,and steeling is part of there plan as well
as cover up for each other

Mmm. I wonder if ANC Cadre Deployment was at
play here. No it couldn't be. It's been such a
success elsewhere.

@The Wonderer: Name and shame. That's the power
of the internet. Give us the names in the small
chance that someone can do something about it.
Not to mention that the journos writing these
articles like to look at the comments posted by
us. Maybe they'll want to do some
investigation... Just a suggestion

I worked for the Board a few years ago and
eventually resigned as could not effectively do
my work, being constantly overruled by Board
members when they acted contrary to rules and
regulations, claiming travel monies, flying to
Cape Town for fun and games and slotting in a
meeting here and there. Staying over at hotels
for longer periods than they were legally
supposed to. Hiring vehicles or driving instead
of flying but claiming the flight cost++ extras.
This was over and above things like EFT'ing
salaries days earlier because the senior execs
wanted to be paid before payday. Cribbing
documents. Legal staff would take the complaints
against sheriffs and put it in a BIG BOX under
their desk. Send acknowledgement letters to
complainant and DO NOTHING further for
years...In the meantime, people were losing
their houses, cars ++. Sheriffs and their staff
were buying peoples possessions for a song... it
goes on and on...

Thats what happens when you put underqualified,
greedy, non caring in positions of power. This
is probably as a direct result of BEE quota's
beeing adhered to so transformation is evident
in all government sectors. What they in turn did
was hire the first face that came in and said
this is wht you do. Also there are some Jazz
festival tickets in it for you!!!

I have personal experience with the Sheriff in
Braamfontein who failed to execute his duties
appropriately due to a company that was
supposedly placed under liquidation - no
liquidation number ever to be found! And have
since found out that the Sheriff and owner of
the company been house-friends for years. Been
in communication with the Sheriff's Board in CT
since March and, even after showing evidence of
his carelessness, the Sheriff Board found him
'not liable". WTF! This is so indicative of the
way our country is run.
