1. Vodacom took our home

However in this case, Vodacom was able tounlawfully conclude a transaction by its Attorneys. A copy of the memorandum of agreement is annexed as X1 and Deed of Sale annexed as X2. Request for a copy of Deed of Sale from Michaelides Attorneys annexed as X3, Deed of SaleMemorandum annexed as X4, signature of purchaser annexed as X5.Kindly pay specific attention to the property company that bought the house, it ismentioned as Scarlet Ibis Investments 23 (Pty) Ltd annexed in X2 section 8.4 fromthe memorandum of agreement.

According to the transcripts of the Law Society of SA annexed as X6, X7, X8,according to X8 during the Law Society hearing against Mr Cohen, Mr Michaelides, and Ms Christodulou all Attorneys related and doing business withVodacom Group and its subsidiaries , Mr Michaelides conceded that MariaFernandes was a secretary of Michaelides Attorneys and Conveyancers.Upon my own investigations, Vodacom Attorneys mentioned above, submitted asignature that was not authorised by Mr George Anastassiou. A copy of my father'ssignature is annexed as X9 and is different from the signature used to acquire the property by Vodacom.
