At least two other legal representatives have also withdrawn from representing VickiMomberg - allegedly due to experiencing difficulties working with her.
Momberg was convicted on four counts of crimen injuria in 2018 for using the k-word 48 times against SAPS officers and 10111 operators trying to help her after a smash-and-grab incident in 2016.
Pravina Rugoonandan, the presiding magistrate at the Randburg Magistrate's Court, sentenced Momberg to an effective two years in prison for the crimes. After a short prison stay, she was granted leave to appeal and ultimately granted bail. She has now launched an appeal at the high court in Johannesburg to overturn her conviction and sentence.
On Monday morning before judges Viwe Notshe and Willem van der Linde, Momberg was initially set to represent herself after her previous lawyer, Kingdom Onah, dropped her as a client.
