I have been obessed with the stills of the Close on Sunday Music video. Every frame is pretty and i regard the music video as one of the greatest music video of all time. Hype williams can chill. Anyway, i have always seen S39(2) of the Constitution being cited- The courts when developing the common law has to do while aligning with the spirit, purport and object of the Bill of Right. This is the first time where i read a judgment wherein the court is sought to develop the co

Its strange really, during the reading of the summary of this judgment, i thought about the movie, The secrete life of Walter Mitty. I then went on pintrest to look at images that i could use for this upload. I came across this image and it was the universe was communicating with me because this image reminds of me that people and how beautiful of a picture it is. Anyway, as it customary, the image bears no information about the words written herein. In this blog post we expl

I recently i have started reading case judgements for the purpose of understanding the workflow that would have been involved in running a file wherein the facts are of a similar nature. My work process is, i wake up, doom scroll through saflii( Not a paid promotion) and read the first sentence of the judgment which usually details what the applicant is seeking from the court. If i find it interesting i will peruse through the judgement, and then workout what the workflow wou

Kindly note that the image has nothing to do with the contents of what is about to be read. I just have never seen an image of a egg hung on a clothes drying line. We gather here today to learn, learn and learn some more. Our social contracts are governed by the Law and therefore its important to understand how certain aspects of my life is governed by the legal ecosystem. Summary judgment is one of those topics, wherein its either i was not paying attention in class or it wa

Its December season, and as a result of the duality of man, such a season does not spell festive and joyous for everyone. While other i setting up christmass lights and decoration outside their homes housed in a sectional title scheme ( note, please ensure that you adhere to the body corporate rules before turning your house into a Shibuya theme light spectacle) other are caught up in relationship set alight on fire due to two people not seeing eye to eye on most things regar

I have to point out that for a very long time, for some reason, i always figured provocation was a ground for justification in criminal law. Here i am, here, admitting that i was so wrong for so many years that it is embarrassing. Or maby this might be one of those mandela effects wherein Provocation was a ground of justification and then just became something different over time. Thats the mandela effect right?. Okay thats besides the point. My curiosity of the topic stems f

Before i paste some shit from Google Gemini (not a paid promotion), i want to disclose that the only thing i contributed to this piece of writing was a curious thought of how does a 20% on online gambling impact the lived realities. I wondered on what it meant, how would it be done, what impact would it have on the economy and finally what does this mean to the realities of people. I am not a economist, i majored in economics, but my vocabulary in discussing the subject is, i

I had previously written a case commentary when this matter was adjudicated upon by the High Court. But now we are here, part two, Supreme court of appeal given the responsibility to decide the fate of debtor and creditor not just in this matter but for social order in South Africa.

You know what is interesting about the world, its humanities ability to always stretch the bounds of reality. I know its a strange observation but there is someone out there right now, at this very moment who can tell what type of box this is. Who can describe its origins, how this specific box came to be invented, what problem or human need was it created to really solve. They can tell you the boxes' specific name, type, length, width, weight and what this boxes' limitation

Written by: GirayaSan-RIP The core of the inquiry touches on a critical jurisprudential debate: To what extent does a financial institution’s duty of care extend to third parties (specifically the state fiscus) for the illicit financial flows facilitated by its infrastructure or employees? Here is a legal breakdown of the SARS vs. Sasfin matter. 1. Background Facts The Parties: Plaintiff: SARS (The South African Revenue Service), responsible for tax collection. Defendant: Sas

By Author- RunningCayote The Taming of the Chaos: From the Blood Feud to the High Court When you stand in Court, robed and ready to argue a matter of procedure or precedent, it is easy to see the Law as a static thing, a dusty collection of statutes and Roman-Dutch principles. But to understand the true gravity of your profession, we must look beyond the pages of the law reports. We must look back to the time before the gavel existed, to understand why humanity invented it. T

The idea propounded in this writing are a essentially a summary of the ideas expounded by Yuval Noah Harari in his book Sapiens: A Graphic History . I am currently in the process of reading this book but through the assistance of a LLM Notebook i was able to extract an analysis of the history of the human revolution from the source text. Upon completion of the analysis i re-read it and reviewed and i found it to be an interesting read. There is a portion in the read which exp

I am currently reading and doing some self learning on the skill and art of Statutory Interpretation. Statutory interpretation being defined as the extracting of the true meaning of the enacted-text law. The meaning of the enacted-text law going deeper than the meaning as found in its literal text and extending to the purpose of the text. As am reading on this subject matter, i realise why law is a patterns, puzzle loving person's wet dreams. We dont just read words as provid

Okay back to the program. We hope you enjoyed the short read which was the previous writing. We now back to the norm but before we get to it, i need you to think about that famous Jose Mourinho meme where he is holding a book, doing a small walk in what looks like a study and he says "I am Jose Mourinho" ( click this on this sentence to see the video am talking about- not a paid promotion) That meme inspired this writing. Now lately i have been reading and studying a fair nu
