Come back, Ronald, your integrity is at stake!

What a beautiful photograph of Ronald Bobroff! (SA Jewish Report, 24 June 2021) It’s just a pity he’s not prepared to fight his “just case” from inside South Africa’s borders. After all, he was a past president of the Law Society of South Africa and, if there’s a person who knows how the system in South Africa works, it must be him.

The very last paragraph of your article is telling. Bobroff alleges that your SA Jewish Report “has consistently maintained the narrative that I’m the archetypal ‘thieving Jewish lawyer’.” And then he invites us to reflect on this. And I have. I dare you to come back to your home country and tell us why you aren’t a “fugitive from justice”. Come and clear your good name, and tell us why the judges in the Supreme Court of Appeal (and all the other court judges) are barking up the wrong tree? Tell us, from inside South Africa why you aren’t that archetypal “thieving Jewish lawyer” aka the SA Jewish Report. It seems to me as if you and boetie (your son) are the only people who know exactly what was going on – all the others are “framing” you.

I was proud of having you as president (of the Law Society). I recall that photograph – I admired it then, and I still do. I dare you to come back and make attorneys such as myself proud again. Come back, tell your story, clear your name, and sue the SA Jewish Report. That would be a nice legal tangle to watch.

It seems that you’re rather hesitant to come back to South Africa, and it seems further that there are people in Israel and South Africa that desire to have you and your beloved son back courtesy of the taxpayers in these two countries. Having referred to your imminent return to South Africa, the SCA gave you R7 million back. I suggest that in the light of the fact that you are such an honest and upright man, you pay your own fare back. Your integrity is at stake!

I can go on and on from inside South Africa, not like you from outside our country.

Regards, Ron, hoping to see you soon. (Just a gentle reminder: pay your own fare. The SCA gave you some of your money back. It’s the right thing to do.)
