When Buying Defective Goods on Credit: A Consumer Victory Explained

05 February 2026, Hlubi Hadebe

Buying goods on credit is part of everyday life for many South Africans, particularly when it comes to big-ticket items... like vehicles. But what happens when those goods turn out to be defective? Can a bank or credit provider simply rely on the credit agreement and avoid responsibility? A recent judgment from the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has delivered a clear and reassuring answer for consumers: your rights do not disappear just because you bought on credit. This case confirms that both the Consumer Protection Act and long-standing common-law remedies remain firmly in place, even where a credit agreement exists.

The appointment is for a specified period, for example, six months or usually until the next Annual General Meeting.

The Future of Platform Work in South Africa Needs a New Rulebook

05 February 2026, Alexi Hugo

The digital world is spinning faster than ever, and in South Africa, that rotation is powered by algorithms, online app... orders, and the hum of delivery bikes. From catching an Uber to buying your weekly groceries via Checkers Sixty60, the "Platform Economy" has officially moved from a futuristic trend to our daily reality. But behind every "order received" notification is a worker navigating a complex legal grey area. As platform work explodes, a massive question looms over the rainbow nation: Are these workers truly their own bosses, or is the flexibility just a clever disguise for a lack of rights?

Lawyer Arrested for Speeding: Was it a Lawful Arrest?

05 February 2026, Ethan Du Toit

The social fabric of the South African society continues to be tainted by high crime rates, domestic violence, and gender-based... violence. The South African Police Service (“SAPS”) carries a constitutional and statutory responsibility to combat crime and maintain public order. Unfortunately, wrongful arrests remain a persistent problem in South Africa. On numerous occasions, citizens are arrested, detained, humiliated, and exposed to public embarrassment in circumstances where such arrests were not legally justified. This article examines when an arrest may be considered wrongful, with reference to the recent case of Zilwa v Member of the Executive Council for the Department of Transport and Public Works and Another.

It just remains for me to thank you very much for all the work involved in getting us to this end point - a point I'm sure we all wondered if we'd ever see at some stage or other. I would also like to thank your conveyancing department who was wonderful at communicating during the sale of the house.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the opportunity you have afforded me of completing Vacation Work with your firm. I have enjoyed my time spent with you, and it has been an absolute pleasure to learn more about your firm, and the legal world. I am so appreciative of the warm welcome by all of your colleagues, and the manner in which we interacted throughout my time here. I hope to return for more Vacation Work this year, and I am exceedingly eager to apply to complete my articles with you, as I have just about fallen in love with your firm and the family that it hosts.
Tamara Foyn, Vacation Work Candidate

Testimony of great service delivery: Miller, Bosman, Le Roux Attorneys are always going the extra mile, or in this case many kilometers, for our agents. Isabel drove all the way to Caledon today to collect keys from an owner for CoC repairs to be done tomorrow to ensure that a transaction can register as soon as possible. Thank you to Grant HILL and Isabel HART. Going upHILL (pun intended) for our agents shows your HeARTs (pun intended) are in the right place.
Elwee van der Merwe, Private client
Keller Williams Dynamic
