南非法庭否认前彩票官Philemon Letwaba试图解冻其280万兰特退休金, A South African tribunal denied former lottery official Philemon Letwaba’s attempt to unfreeze his R2.8 million pension, citing lack of authority to order deductions.

南非国家彩票委员会前首席执行官Letwaba(Philemon Letwaba)在解冻2022年冻结的R280万雷亚尔退休金方面失败了。 Philemon Letwaba, former COO of South Africa’s National Lotteries Commission, has lost his bid to unfreeze his R2.8 million pension, frozen in 2022 over allegations he diverted lottery funds to family-linked businesses. 在2025年的一项裁决中,特别法庭庭长玛格丽特·维克托法官指出,根据《养恤基金法》,法庭无权命令扣减养恤金,这是留给法院的权力。 In a 2025 ruling, Special Tribunal President Judge Margaret Victor stated the tribunal lacks authority under the Pension Funds Act to order pension deductions, a power reserved for courts. 尽管法庭在腐败案件中扮演的角色,但这项裁决却以费用驳回了Letwaba的上诉,强调了法庭执法权力的法律限制。 The decision, which dismissed Letwaba’s appeal with costs, underscores legal limits on the tribunal’s enforcement powers despite its role in corruption cases. 该裁决尚未解决如果特别调查组追回挪用资金后，赔偿将如何执行。 The ruling leaves unresolved how restitution will be enforced if the Special Investigating Unit recovers misappropriated funds.
