Witness 'auctions' govt for extended booking

The state and the attorney generals chambers are cited as the 1st and 2nd respondents respectively in a court order made by Justice Mpathi Phumaphi.
Venter said he could not file any papers last year because Justice Phumaphi was busy with the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) case. For two years the state has been ignoring the suit, he claims.

 
"Up to now government has not paid, but I am working on the necessary papers to enforce the court order to attach government goods," he pointed out. There was no option but to attach government vehicles of the attorney general for auction, he said.
For two weeks the AG's attorneys were struggling to locate Witness's file.
In 2005 Justice Phumaphi ordered the state to pay Witness damages for unlawful imprisonment for 349 days while in actual fact the plaintiff had finished serving his sentence.
