‘Racist’ Vicky has legal woes

Estate agent Vicky Momberg, who was caught on a cellphone camera referring to a black police officer in derogatory terms may have to represent herself if her legal representatives are not present at her next court appearance, a Randburg magistrate warned yesterday.

During a brief court appearance yesterday, Magistrate Pravina Raghoonandan told Momberg, pictured, that no more postponements would be granted.

“If Mr Davidovitz is not present, you’ll represent yourself,” Raghoonandan told Momberg before postponing the matter.

Earlier, defence attorney Greg Morris requested a postponement due to advocate Joe Davidovitz not being available as he was suffering from severe stress and Parkinson’s disease.

Morris submitted a doctor’s note to the court and said that Davidovitz would only be available on October 13.

The attorney then said they could only proceed at the end of October as Momberg was travelling to KwaZulu-Natal.

Raghoonandan said she understood Davidovitz was not well, but would only allow a postponement to October 17.

State prosecutor Yusuf Baba put it on record that Momberg had 21 days until her next court appearance.

At Momberg’s previous appearance, Davidovitz wanted to withdraw his services. Momberg apparently had no confidence in them. The withdrawal request was denied by the court.

She is facing four charges of crimen injuria after allegedly using the k-word 48 times. – ANA
