Nasha Faces Jail

Twenty court presidents and 21 deputies intend to institute legal proceedings for an order declaring Nasha to be in contempt of a High Court order dated December 19, 2003. Monitor is reliably informed that the distressed urban court presidents and their deputies met in Mahalapye on May 10 and decided to take the court route. 

This emerged in a correspondence dated May 27, 2008 to Nasha written by the court presidents' lawyer Wada Nfila. The basis of the intended application is that on December 19, 2003 the then Justice Moatlhodi Marumo ordered that: "Urban court presidents are declared to be entitled to be remunerated at the salary scale D3 in the same way as deputy chiefs from April 1, 2000".
