15 June 2026, Alexi Hugo

High Demand and the Growing Risk of Exploitative Practices If you're renting in the Western Cape, you already know how... tough it is to find a decent property that suits your budget.

For many working-class and middle-income families, finding an affordable home has become a genuine crisis. In the middle of all this pressure, it's more important than ever to know where you stand legally. Whether you're already renting or about to sign a lease, understanding your rights and duties as a tenant can protect you from exploitation and help you make informed decisions during challenging times.

It allows an accused person to be released from prosecution before they are required to present a defence. This article will examine what a section 174 discharge is, how it operates, and what the courts have said about when it should be granted.

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.
