Rooplal told the Sunday Times two applications had been made - one against Brian Shivambu and the other against his company - to recoup some of the millions lost by VBS.
"The R2.7m we are suing Shivambu for is based on a surety he signed on behalf of his company," Rooplal said at the time.
Terry Motau SC, of Werksmans Attorneys, revealed late in 2018 details of how R1.9bn was "stolen" from VBS Mutual Bank.
The law firm was appointed by the Reserve Bank to investigate claims of large-scale looting from VBS. The report implicated 53 people, including Brian Shivambu, former president Jacob Zuma and the Passenger Rail Agency of SA.
Brian Shivambu has paid R1m towards the debt and, in terms of the court order, still owes R1.78m plus interest.
Shivambu did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
