Mom
in bid for son to do jail time in SA - 23 August
A George mother has launched a high court application to force the
government to sign a prisoner exchange treaty which would allow her son
and other prisoners to serve their sentences in South Africa. Patricia
Gerber launched the application in the North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria,
on Friday. Johann Gerber's defence was that he had been forced to smuggle
drugs for fear of his family being hurt. He is serving a nine-year
sentence in a Mauritius jail and is expected to be released in 2016. - IOL

Curatorship
of New Era extended to 2010 - 4 September
The North Gauteng High Court yesterday refused to put Era Life Insurance
under liquidation but instead extended its provisional curatorship. New
Era, one of two black-owned insurance companies in the country, had
applied to have a provisional curatorship order placed on it on July 7
lifted. Judge Willie Hartzenberg ordered the curators of New Era to
file a report by February 16 next year, informing the court what position
the company was in and what steps had been taken to achieve an acceptable
holding of shares in it. - Business

Prinsloo
now probed for sex crimes in Belarus - 8 September
Police are investigating Dirk Prinsloo's possible involvement in sexual
crimes similar to those for which he evaded trial in South Africa after he
skipped bail. Lieutenant-Colonel Mikhail Starikovich, head of Interpol's
national central bureau in Belarus, yesterday confirmed that the
investigation period was prolonged because of information that "there
were several episodes connected with sexual crimes, probably committed by
Prinsloo in Minsk". It is expected that his trial will not start
before the end of November. - IOL
