Fishrot-implicated lawyer Maren de Klerk fights to keep his N$1.3 million pension

November 9, 2026

The controversial lawman Maren de Klerk is back in court today in the matter where he is attempting to prevent the Prosecutor-General from seizing his pension of N$1.3 million held with Sanlam. The annuity reached its maturity in January 2024, but Sanlam has informed him that the state is seeking the funds. De Klerk argues that, under the law, retirement funds cannot be confiscated, and that this matter was not included in the original seizure application. De Klerk left the country in 2020 after being implicated in the Fishrot scandal, which he vehemently denies. The matter is set for a roll call before Judge Hannelie Prinsloo.
