Julie Lopes 2 | P a g e Complaint Against Advocate Julie Seton a.k.a. Julie Lopes 3 | P a g e INTRODUCTION 1. This is complaint against Advocate Julie Seton. She also uses the names Julie Lopes and Julie Jefferys. Lopes is the name on her ID. Jefferys is the maiden name of her married partner, Esme Edge. Seton is the name she uses most. 1.1. She is Legal Practice Council (LPC) member #52800 [LPC01]. 1.2. Contrary to her listing on the LPC website, she practices in Knysna, not Cape Town. I am unaware of her having officially acted as counsel in the Western Cape High Court. She works in the Knysna Magistrates’ Court where she organises most actions against me through others. 1.3. Her cellphone is 082 778 8396. 2. Advocate Seton is a political operative, an indirect ‘hitman’ for the Democratic Alliance (DA). She compromised the rules and spirit of the LPC, and damaged the justice system, by pursuing political agenda in her roles as a social media administrator, journalist, municipal employee, political candidate and legal practitioner - cumulatively, a conflict of interest for her latter role. 3. She acts in extreme conflict of interest for her political party, married partner, associates and selfish ambition for power. She has contravened the Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014 ("the Act") and the Code of Conduct which govern the LPC. She is the embodiment of what the LPC should not represent. Complaint Against Advocate Julie Seton a.k.a. Julie Lopes 4 | P a g e 4. She pretends to be the victim whilst being the aggressor. She uses lawsuits and propaganda as weapons. She abuses her legal role to protect corruption and maladministration whilst damaging citizens who demand good governance and accountability. That includes her harassing and intimidating me for years. 5. Advocate Seton’s individual transgressions are easy to understand but the context is enormous. To present it fully would be time-consuming. Consequently, in the interests of expedited justice, I will not burden the LPC with full timeline and thousands of associated pages. However, the evidence for this complaint will amount to several hundred pages. And the context that is provided must add to the severity of her punishment. I would be dissatisfied with anything less than disbarment and assistance with criminal charges. 6. The LPC is not the Constitutional Court. I do not expect nor want it to weigh up the merits of the many related court cases and corruptions. However, a common- sense overview must accompany specific examples I provide of Seton’s misconduct. 7. Seton’s negative actions aim at silencing my anti-corruption activism. Her strategy includes: 7.1. Propaganda, from anonymity and her own identity. She was part of a social media collective that branded me as a paedophile, sociopath, destroyer of the economy etc. 7.2. Destroying my income and charity work via attacking my credibility and making the Public fearful. Complaint Against Advocate Julie Seton a.k.a. Julie Lopes 5 | P a g e 7.3. She and the gang she belongs to, henceforth referred to as the Blue Gang, threatened my readers with litigation. 7.4. The Blue Gang repeatedly take me to court, a process known internationally as Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP). The applicants may be individuals but the dominant figure, directly and indirectly, is Advocate Seton. She is the local organiser of the SLAPP which benefits the politicians, government officials and their corruption. 7.5. They intimidated my father, readers and local businesses. 7.6. They seek to have me imprisoned for defamation, but the real goal is to silence me for exposing theirs and other DA offences. 8. The Blue Gang, with Advocate Seton being its most active member, will be described furtheron. 9. Advocate Seton has been emboldened by no one willing to bring her to justice. That lack of oversight includes the legal fraternity she belongs to. Instead, many have assisted her. As example, she has repeatedly contravened the protection order I have against her [LPC02a-d]. 9.1. It began as an interim order on 11 March 2016 and, as a final protection order, ends on 20 September 2021. 9.2. Again, I am not requesting the LPC consider the merits for the protection order, only that it be acknowledged and underlined that Seton’s behaviour as an LPC member is at odds with the Law she is supposed to represent. Complaint Against Advocate Julie Seton a.k.a. Julie Lopes 6 | P a g e 10. I cannot imagine a similar situation of injustice if Seton had, for example, been ANC or EFF in this Western Cape. It is consequently notable that she is DA serving DA interest in a DA-controlled province. History shows that corrupt power is served not confronted. That is how our country has suffered from “State Capture”. That subservience to power and greed are why corrupt members of the DA, such as Advocate Seton, has been sheltered. 11. Again, for the sake of speedy justice, I will not detail the stratosphere encircling this situation, but it will be obvious from my evidence that Seton belongs to something bigger. I may limit the scope of my complaint but with the caveat that others such as Attorney Richard Sohn are worthy of investigation too. EXAMPLES OF MY EVIDENCE 12. I provide limited context and a few examples of Advocate Seton’s degeneracies before I get to the main body. 12.1. I do so because my introduction is cautiously long, and I want it to be clear to any Public reader and the LPC Investigating Committee that my necessarily lengthy complaint deserves close attention. 12.2. I do so because the Cape Bar previously dismissed my complaint against Seton, protecting her by lying that I had provided no evidence of her misdeeds. 13. It is important to note that there is a conspiracy against. Advocate Julie Seton will be shown to be part of it. Complaint Against Advocate Julie Seton a.k.a. Julie Lopes 7 | P a g e 13.1 "You are so obviously being targeted. I have asked people about you in general, and most people answer that you are to avoided. When I push for a reason why, not one person has been able to answer. A huge smear campaign, which I am sure you are well aware of. I have it on good authority that the DA are actively trying to get you out, by whatever means possible - again, I'm sure no big news to you. I just can't believe the scale of it. What I am surprised about, is the amount of fear involved. People are petrified to stand up. I have watched cases where residents’ lives have been made unbearable difficult and impossible because they have had a run in with Lauren Waring [Municipal Manager]. I see the same thing happening with the ratepayers’ associations. if you disagree, you are instantly side- lined. Anyway Mike, I just wanted you to know if you ever need airtime, to please let me know - I would be happy to sponsor some for you. Candace." [LPC03]. 13.1.1. Candace Myers, a DA insider, emailed me the warning above. She is a prominent figure on the Brenton Ratepayers’ Association (BRA) where Seton’s married partner, Esme Edge, lives (and where Seton lives with Edge now). Candace Myers became a campaigner for the party. She is married to Peter Myers who was DA Chairperson whilst Edge was Deputy Mayor. Seton and Edge were supporters of Myers until he replaced Edge as Deputy Mayor. Similarly hypocritical, the Myers couple joined the DA’s propaganda campaign against me. 13.1.2. Edge, when dating Seton, became Deputy Mayor of Knysna on 12 February 2013. 13.1.3 The warning of the DA's campaign against me was dated 30 July 2013, whilst Edge was in office. 13.1.4.

  • South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’S Mixed Hand Holds Promise for South Africa’S Future
    South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’s mixed hand holds promise for South Africa’s future South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, yesterday (20 December) concluded its 54th National Conference at which it elected a new leadership. South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was announced the ANC’s new leader against a backdrop of fast-deteriorating investor confidence in the country. The new team will likely direct the ANC’s leadership of the country for the next five years and beyond. Mr Ramaphosa’s victory is not complete. The election results have been the closest they have been of any ANC leadership election in recent times. The results for the top six leaders of the ANC (Deputy President, National Chairperson, Secretary-General, Treasurer-General and Deputy Secretary-General) and the 80-member National Executive Committee (NEC - the highest decision-making body of the party between conferences) also represent a near 50-50 composition of the two main factions of the ANC. Jacob Zuma, Mr Ramaphosa’s predecessor, still retains the presidency of South Africa’s government (the next general election is still 18 months away). It enables Mr Zuma to state positions difficult for the new ANC leadership to find clawback on, and to leverage whatever is left of his expanded patronage network where it remains in place. A pointed reminder of this was delivered on the morning the ANC National Conference commenced, when President Zuma committed the government to provide free tertiary education for students from homes with combined incomes of below R600 000 – an commitment termed unaffordable by an expansive judicial investigation, designed to delay his removal from office and to paint him as a victim in the event it may be attempted.

  • Wolwerivier Social Audit Report PART A: Introduction to Social Audits
    Wolwerivier Social Audit Report PART A: Introduction to Social Audits 3 2 What is a social audit? A social audit is a community-led process of reviewing of crucial documents to determine whether the public expenditure and service delivery outcomes reported by the government really reflect the public money spent and the services received by the community. Members of the community collectively participate in a process of verifying government (or private company) documents by comparing them with the realities on the ground and the experiences of the community. Evidence collected during the audit is then reported to the responsible authorities at a public meeting. Community testimony, knowledge, and experience are a legitimate and central part of this evidence. Government documents may include budgets and reported expenditure, tenders or contracts, invoices and receipts, as well as supporting laws, reports, policies, plans, or norms and standards. A social audit provides a way to build effective and meaningful public participation in poor and working class communities by providing a means for the community to engage with the governance processes that affect their lives. Social audits empower communities to gather and legitimise evidence of their experience of service delivery, and through this process enables them to claim and realise their constitutional rights to democratic participation and accountable government. Social audits build community power, deepening the culture of participatory democracy and public deliberation. They provide an opportunity for poor and working class peope to be heard, and a space for people who have been excluded and discriminated against to achieve a measure of justice and hold government to account.

    http://www.politicsweb.co.za/documents/going-off-the-rails--irr Going off the rails - IRR John Kane-Berman - IRR | 02 November 2016 John Kane-Berman on the slide towards the lawless South African state GOING OFF THE RAILS: THE SLIDE TOWARDS THE LAWLESS SOUTH AFRICAN STATE SETTING THE SCENE South Africa is widely recognised as a lawless country. It is also a country run by a government which has itself become increasingly lawless. This is so despite all the commitments to legality set out in the Constitution. Not only is the post–apartheid South Africa founded upon the principle of legality, but courts whose independence is guaranteed are vested with the power to ensure that these principles are upheld. Prosecuting authorities are enjoined to exercise their functions “without fear, favour, or prejudice”. The same duty is laid upon other institutions established by the Constitution, among them the public protector and the auditor general. Everyone is endowed with the right to “equal protection and benefit of the law”. We are all also entitled to “administrative action that is lawful, reasonable, and procedurally fair”. Unlike the old South Africa – no doubt because of it – the new Rechtsstaat was one where the rule of law would be supreme, power would be limited, and the courts would have the final say. This edifice, and these ideals, are under threat. Lawlessness on the part of the state and those who run it is on the increase. The culprits run from the president down to clerks of the court, from directors general to immigration officials, from municipal managers to prison warders, from police generals to police constables, from cabinet ministers to petty bureaucrats.

The Speaker took the Chair and requested members to observe a moment of silence for prayers or meditation. CONCERNS ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF MINISTERS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE (Statement by Speaker of the NA) The SPEAKER: Hon members, during questions to Cluster 1, Peace and Security, on 7 March, a number of issues arose that I believe require clarification so that all members are clear on the procedures to be followed in terms of questions to Ministers. UNREVISED HANSARD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY THURSDAY, 8 MARCH 2018 Page: 2 I firstly wish to state that I share the concerns raised by members about the availability of Ministers to answer questions in the House. Ministers may be unable to appear before the House for a particular Question Session due to either compelling official responsibilities or personal circumstances. However, the House must be properly notified of this. Rules 138(3) and 138(4) provide for a Minister to authorise his or her Deputy Minister to reply to a question directed at that Minister, or if a Minister and his or her Deputy are absent, for another Cabinet Minister to respond to the question. Rule 144(1)(b) provides that a question for oral reply stands over if the Minister to whom it is addressed is not present in the Assembly when the question is called for a reply and it is not replied to by the relevant Deputy Minister or another Cabinet member on his or her behalf.
