Apparent Extortion [Continued]
I blogged, a few days ago, about an apparent extortion attempt. The attempt could only work if there was no record of a certain meeting I was involved in -- a meeting convened by the Assistant Master of the High Court Vuyani Lallie. It worked like this. It was said that, in the meeting (this was announced after the meeting), I had agreed to absolve someone of having "gained illegally". Let's say that this was quite a large sum of money. I had agreed in the meeting, it was claimed, that I would, under oath, absolve the person concerned, or I would pay a penalty of R100,000 plus. Now because there is no record of the meeting ... hah, it seems that I am caught in a trap. However, somebody outfoxed somebody, because an audio recording of the meeting exists. I have heard snippets of it, which are clear. It is a good recording. OBSERVATION: May I suggest, gentlemen, that we return to normality, swiftly, and lay this to rest. As mentioned in the previous post, it was not I who claimed that someone "gained illegally". It was Assistant Master of the High Court Mthuthuzeli Mbatsha. There is hard evidence of that. He made the claim in November 2023, and again in May 2024.

Surely the person making the claim would need to base it on an official record of the meeting?
Yes, it would seem that accusations should be based on something with some sort of reference to where and how the comment was made. As for the meeting, the entire meeting was recorded. It reveals none of the claims which are made. But let us suppose that I had indeed let slip somewhere an opinion that someone had "gained illegally" from something, surely the normal thing to do would be to take me aside and ask me gently for a correction or retraction.
