It's #casetalkTuesday! Today we applaud the Legal Aid SA Modimolle Local Office, and a matter handled by Supervisory Legal Practitioner in the Land Rights Management Unit, Adv. Dibatsela Maabane. BACKGROUND - Our client approached our Land Rights Management Unit requesting assistance with an interdict against the farm owner as he refused to grant his family permission to bury their father on the farm he worked on for many years. - The reason for his refusal was that they would pollute his farm and further that the burial on his farm would reduce his space for farming activities as the farm would be overcrowded with graves. - As the matter was extremely urgent, Dibatsela utilised his negotiation skills and contacted the farm owner intending to resolve the matter amicably. - Dibatsela pointed out to the farmer that the family has the right to bury the deceased on the farm in terms of the Extension of Security of Tenure Act 62 of 1997 (refer to Chapter III, section 6). OUTCOME The farm owner was initially hostile towards Dibatsela. It was only when he informed the farm owner that if he did not allow the family to bury the deceased on the farm, he would be left with no option but to institute urgent legal action against him, that he agreed to allow our client to bury their father on the farm. Dibatsela ensured that our client's rights were upheld, as per the Extension of Security of Tenure Act, which undoubtedly provided great comfort to the family during this time. Proudly #legalaidsa

"My homeowners association inconsistently enforces its rules. Rules often overlooked include bans regarding permissible animals and owning chickens on the property – none of which have been properly enforced. The association issued a new owner a violation notice, even though other homeowners have been keeping chickens. Does this set a precedent for how these rules will be enforced in the future? How can the association ensure that it equally applies its rules to everyone?" #Becker Shareholder Joseph Adams answers this question and more in this week's edition of News-Press. #CommunityAssociation #HOA #HOARules
