A FORMER attorney at Thobejane PM Attorneys, 54-year-old Pretus Thobejane, based in Centurion, has appeared before the Pretoria Magistrate's Court facing 31 counts of theft amounting to R8.3 million.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), it is alleged that between November 2024 and October 2025, Thobejane used the same modus operandi to defraud multiple complainants.
Gauteng regional spokesperson for the NPA, Lumka Mahanjana, said Thobejane allegedly offered conveyancing services to assist clients in purchasing properties.
"After reaching agreements, the complainants transferred funds to him for the services," Mahanjana said.
