Written by: EDEDDEDDY Understanding inflation is not merely an academic exercise; it is essential for navigating the modern economic world. Inflation is more than a statistic—it is a powerful economic force that can erode savings, destabilize nations, and ruin lives. It directly affects the purchasing power of our income, shapes investment decisions, and influences the overall stability of the economy. At its heart, inflation is a measure of how quickly the money in our walle

First and foremost, compliments to the New Year, 2026. We made it baby, we here baby. We learn from our shortcomings in 2025 and improve on our victories in 2026. I read a post on linkedin which said and i am paraphrasing, in 2025 we learned how much we can take, and 2026 we get what we want. And i hope this year is the year everyone gets what they want and have desired since they were children, dreaming. So shall it be. Now with the Kumbaya stuff out the way, dont get it twi

"Alternative Realities"—now, I can imagine what you’re thinking: What does "spooky things happening at a quantum distance" have to do with the legal standard of proof? Well, that’s why we are both here: to explore the application of the "Balance of Probabilities" in a universe of infinite alternative possibilities. In this post, we will delve into the standard of proofs, their practical application, and whether such standards needs to evolve given that our definition of "po

I have watched the movie Perfect days, twice now and strangely enough, I always watch it on a Sunday. I thought about why and came to the conclusion that the acceptance of being alone without being lonely as the theme of the film, I feel, and Sundays seem to be those days wherein you feel lonely the most, and this movie provides me with the comfort of accepting that I am alone and that I do not need to feel lonely. I don't know, might not be making sense with this one. But ou

This is one of the cases I remember being in a lecture in university and it being the topic of discussion for that day. At the time, I did not appreciate how impactful this judgment is because I was too busy focused on passing the module instead of learning, understanding, developing wisdom around the subject, and finding my opinion in it. And reading it now, I realize that its clarity regarding the question it answers will stand the test of time. Currently I don't know as to

As is customary, before we get into why we are here, i like to share a small behind the scenes about how we got to where we are now wherein we discuss a judgement that touches on the jurisprudence of Reconsideration Application. Prior to my focus shifting to the abovementioned judgment, i was reading the book "Life is Short and so it this book" (not a paid promotion). It is a short book that, straight to the point, touches on the importance of living your life. Your time here

Before we get into the nit and gritties, i kindly request to share something personal. I remember the first time i watched 2 fast 2 furios. It was an experience of a lifetime at that time. Everything in that movie was the coolest anything i have ever seen. Then boom, Tokyo drift came out. I dont remember where i was or what i was doing, but i do remember the first time the movie introduced DK and that race in the parking lot was a masterclass in cinema. I am not a motor head,

I know this is a throw back to many. The Carmichele judgment was the focus of lectures in various legal modules, from delict, to jurisprudence, criminal law, this judgment was in every lecture hall. And if i had paid better attention in school, i can bet you that it was also taught in Communication Management. It and S v Makwanyane where the two that rang in lecture halls and required citation in answers to exams question. Basically, if there was a south african legal judgmen

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?

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
