With over two decades as a lawyer in a large firm, more than 18 years of which have been at CDH, Tessa describes her journey as both demanding and deeply fulfilling. Tessa explains: “Much of my work has focused on the corporate and commercial aspects of projects, particularly within the renewable energy sector.”

Tessa adds that this work has allowed her to make a small but meaningful contribution to sustainability, something that not only aligns with her personal values but also brings a greater sense of purpose to her professional life.

Show me the money

In the case of National Director of Public Prosecutions v Dhurgasamy JOL 60116 (GJ), the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) applied for a forfeiture order under section 53, alternatively section 50 read with section 48, of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 (POCA). The application sought to declare certain property, specifically USD 630,700 in cash seized at OR Tambo International Airport on 11 September 2018, forfeit to the state. The Gauteng Division of the High Court in Johannesburg delivered judgment on 26 July 2023, granting the forfeiture order under section 50 of POCA. The court found that, on a balance of probabilities, the seized cash constituted the proceeds of unlawful activities, specifically violations of exchange control regulations and involvement in money laundering operations. The respondent failed to provide a credible explanation for the lawful origin of the funds, and his claims of obtaining the money through a loan for business purposes were unsubstantiated and lacked supporting evidence. The court noted inconsistencies and improbabilities in his account, leading to the conclusion that the funds were indeed derived from unlawful activities.
