Johannesburg – The Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ) has warned that an individual is impersonating the Deputy President of the Supreme Court of Appeal, Justice D H Zondi.
“The individual/s sent WhatsApp messages purporting to be from Justice Dumisani Zondi using a profile picture of his likeness,” the OCJ revealed on Wednesday, 7 October 2026.
“The mobile number from which the message came is 076 208 2834 and is registered on WhatsApp as belonging to ‘Justice Dumisani Zondi’.
“The public is warned not to fall prey to this impersonator and need to be aware that misrepresenting a state of affairs, knowing that it is not true; to the prejudice of someone else is fraud.”
The OCJ said the matter will be reported to the relevant authorities for further handling.
