****mer Attorney Tashriq Ahmed
Subject: Formal Complaint and Request for Investigation – Conduct of Suspended Attorney Tashriq Ahmed Dear Sir / Madam, I write to formally lodge a complaint and to request your urgent intervention regarding the conduct of Mr Tashriq Ahmed, a suspended attorney, whose actions have caused significant financial and emotional harm to several individuals, particularly foreign nationals residing in South Africa. It has been reported by multiple affected persons that Mr Ahmed accepted monies from clients under the representation that he would provide legal assistance. However, after receiving payment, the promised legal services were allegedly not rendered, and the funds were instead retained for personal use. As a result, numerous individuals have suffered financial losses and remain without the legal assistance they sought. I am aware that complaints and ******** cases have already been opened against Mr Ahmed and that matters have previously been reported to the Law Society due to allegations of misconduct and *******ion. Despite this, Mr Ahmed has allegedly continued to contact affected individuals directly and has reportedly threatened legal action against those who have opened cases or submitted complaints to relevant authorities. These actions have caused fear and ************ among vulnerable individuals who are simply attempting to live honestly and lawfully in the Republic of South Africa. Such conduct, if proven, undermines public trust in the legal profession and brings the administration of justice into disrepute. I respectfully request that the Legal Practice Council urgently: - Investigate the ongoing conduct of Mr Tashriq Ahmed; - Take appropriate steps to prevent further ************ or harassment of complainants; - Provide guidance to affected individuals on how they may safely pursue their complaints without fear of retaliation. Supporting documents, case numbers, proof of payment, and statements from affected persons can be made available upon request. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I trust that the appropriate authorities will act to protect the public and uphold the integrity of the legal profession. Yours faithfully, Sameer Mirza

Gender Base Violence
Over one-third of women and girls globally will experience some form of violence in their lifetime. However, this rate is higher in emergencies, conflict, and crisis, where vulnerability and risks are increased and most often family, community, and legal protections have broken down. Harm caused by GBV can be visible or hidden, and it also includes the threat of violence. GBV can take many forms, including: physical violence, such as assault or slavery; emotional or psychological violence, such as verbal abuse or confinement; ***ual abuse, including ****; harmful practices, like child marriage and female ******* mutilation; socio-economic violence, which includes denial of resources; and ***ual harassment, exploitation and abuse. While GBV most often refers to violence against women and girls, it can also affect other marginalized groups when violence is used to reinforce or maintain oppressive gender norms. Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), or ‘domestic violence’ is an all-too-common form of violence against women and girls. It refers to any behavior from a current or previous partner that causes harm—including physical aggression, ***ual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviors. Globally, the UN reports that one in four women have been subjected to physical and/or ***ual violence by an intimate partner at least once in their lifetime, and IRC research has shown that it is the most common form of violence against women and girls in humanitarian contexts.

Apple 1 Republic Analysis: 1. Lawyer's High Fee's 2. Judge's Training 3. Gauteng Attorney or Lawyer's 'High' Fee's that is far from regulated. This in Rand's for South African Understanding. Attorney's Quoted UpTo 10 000 To read documents not even act upon, which usually occurs where 2 Attorney's will talk to each to find a compromise. * Not paying for Attorney Dates .Again. Not getting into cost's that don't exist. Some not all Attorney's. 3.. Mr and Mrs Judge' - In support of some, other's there for the GLORY and Money (Justice is Blind as an Eagles Nest, ask them yourselves) Calculations. Judge's get paid + 100 000 Per Month Most 'court court orders' ( small caps intentionally) has a Judge and Judge's Secretary as an allocated resource. Paid by VAT (GST) Prayers. Let's say both earn 50 000 Each per month (Joke's aside). For example Purposes. That is' 100 000 Combined (Master and Slave). That figure divided by 21 working days = 4761.90 Per Day. Judge and Secretary cost combined. Divide that by / 7.5 working Hour's per HOUR = 634.92. Now that's the actual Cost of the Judge and Judge's Secretary. 634.92. Per Hour. (High Court Sign: Outside falling apart, imagine the public toilet's inside the Court's) 'Makes Sense' Nobody shakes hand's in SA court's' Another Day'...Back to School. Divide that by 60 Minutes. 634.92/60 = 10.58. That is cost of a Judge and Secretary for a MINUTE * 10.58. Usually Attorney's request 5 minutes for a decision. Ie. 10.58 x 5 minutes = 52.92. Cost for 5 minutes of the judicial system or resources. Where does attorneys or Lawyer's come up with absurd figure's like High Court Fee, lodging, delivery of Summons, Sheriff wasted cost.

Subject: Formal Complaint Against Suspended Attorney Tashriq Ahmed
Dear Sir/Madam I am writing to formally complain to Tashriq Ahmed, a suspended attorney, for his ********* and *****ulent conduct. I engaged Mr. Ahmed's services to assist me with my Cousin's bail from home Affairs as he was arrested with an Expired Document Despite charging me a substantial fee, it has come to my attention that he was suspended at the time he provided legal services to me and failed to take any actions toward to get bail from court for my cousin. I have filed a complaint against him with the relevant authorities 3 months ago. In a deeply concerning turn of events, Mr. Ahmed has threatened me with repercussions, He will sue me if he loses his career but I have paid his fees while he was already suspended I am fully committed to living an honest life in South Africa, which is why I sought legal assistance in the first place for my cousin. However, Mr. Ahmed's behavior has been nothing short of despicable and has left me feeling vulnerable and exploited. It has come to my attention that Mr. Ahmed is currently operating from his office on the 12th Floor, 8 Riebeek St, Cape Town. 2nd Office 9 b*****k road langebergridge Kraaifontien I trust that the Law Society will take appropriate action to investigate these serious allegations and ensure that justice is served. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response regarding the steps that will be taken to address this grievance. Thank you for your time and assistance. Yours faithfully, Asif Khan

Subject: Formal Complaint Against Suspended Attorney Tashriq Ahmed
Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Tashriq Ahmed, a suspended attorney, for his ********* and *****ulent conduct. I engaged Mr. Ahmed's services to assist me with applying for a work permit. Despite charging me a substantial fee, it has come to my attention that he was suspended at the time he provided legal services to me and failed to take any actions towards my application. I have filed a complaint against him with the relevant authorities two months ago. In a deeply concerning turn of events, Mr. Ahmed has threatened me with repercussions, claiming that he has connections with officials at the Cape Town Home Affairs office who are capable of deporting me. This ************ and abuse of power are unacceptable and have caused me great distress. I am fully committed to living an honest life in South Africa, which is why I sought legal assistance in the first place. However, Mr. Ahmed's behavior has been nothing short of despicable and has left me feeling vulnerable and exploited. It has come to my attention that Mr. Ahmed is currently operating from his office at 12th Floor, 8 Riebeek St, Cape Town.

No assistance from the law society of South Africa.
I contacted Dipuo B Makondo on the 7th of June for assistance with a lawyer that was acting *********ly. I was sent complaint forms to fill in which I did. Since the 7th of June I have heard absolutely nothing back from her. I would like to know from the law society why is it that the public is not getting protection from ********* lawyers.
