"The appointment of Phume and Meya has taken place without any involvement of Jantjies or I at shareholder level or at director level," read the papers.
Mashava said Steenkamp Snr approached him in June 2017 to be his partner to broaden the company's BEE status as demanded by mining giant Anglo, which contracted the company for certain services. In July 2017 he was appointed a director of Akata Integrated Mining Solution (Aims), an associate company of RMS.
"Despite my ultimate level of control, Steenkamp has until recently been in actual total control of the bank account of RMS. Using this control, he has engaged in numerous suspicious transactions, particularly the repayment of supposed loan accounts to trust and entities controlled by or related to him without there being any apparent justification for such payment," read the papers.
Mashava and Jantjies' lawyer Kevin Van Huyssteen said the respondents agreed to adhere to the conditions of the order. But the court said Mashava and Jantjies must institute legal proceedings within 30 days otherwise the interim order shall lapse and be of no force.
Phume and Ndumiso Luthuli, who represents the respondents, did not respond to messages sent to them.
