I was unfairly dismissed with no representation although I had my own proof to back me up which they didn't want to look at. I had a sit down at ccma where we did not agree on the terms. I ended up having a heart attack and ended up in hospital for 3 months having to undergo a procedure and having a ICD unit attached to my heart. While I was hospitalized the CCMA tried calling me to which I could not attend. I could not reply to them because when I was discharged I had to go to hospital for regular check ups and did not have the time. I do have supporting documentation from hospital and my Dr will also offer his help. Please assist me as this will be 2 years and I could not afford a lawyer Thank you

I want to appeal an arbitration award for non payment of S&T allowances. I feel the commissioner did not take important information (like the acceptance letter with explanation of in principle that was in the transfer letter )when reaching her conclusion. Also taken things that were not tabled during the hearing.
My husband filed for a divorce and we are married out of community of property without the accrual. We are staying in Ngodwana and I told him that if I need to move out of the house to Nelspruit, it is going to be costly and I will not be able to afford it. I got the summons on Friday, and there are some of the items that I do no agree with. I was also pouring my money into the house month after month and I said to him that we need to do some sort of a contract, because I do not even have a policy and his answer was that we do not need a contract, because he will look after me. I said to him I do not trust men because out of previous experiences, and he said he is not like other men. I need to move out this coming weekend, I got a place in Nelspruit. I did my calculations and I will not be able to even buy groceries or travel to Ngodwana for work. I even have no idea what he earned monthly and where he spent his money: I was even supporting his dad that was staying there for 4 years. Even when we went away I was the one doing the payments. We went to NZ in January, and when he got his bonus now in December, he refunded me his part of the spending, but what about the rest of the years: we have nearly been married for 13 years. I was paying the car and insurance, it is in my name, but he was also driving the car, I was buying the groceries, I was buying his close, I was buying bedding etc, for the house. He was only paying the medical aid and the roof over my head, which is a company house and the monthly payment is very little. From the end of January I also need to pay my own medical aid. He needs to pay me a lump sum or maintenance: he was well aware of the way we were married, but he promised to look after me and I want to keep him to his word.
Misrepresented by my lawyer (Legal Aid) No communication. Not given a chance for a prop consultation or listen to my side of the story. No advise or guidance from her side. I’m only requested for signing the documents or submit the evidence and documents. No phone calls, no sms or updates. The last document I received from her made me realize that I don’t actually have a Lawyer to represent me. I’ve been in this marriage for 10 years, living in an abusive marriage, my husband he’s a womanizer who sleeps with multiple woman and impregnated another woman out of our marriage. I forgive him and accepted to raise his son as my own, now he wants to divorce me and move on after I sacrificed everything for this marriage. He wants to take everything and give me 40 % of his pension fund. He moved some of the assets from the house, including 3 cars that he never mentioned while his evaluator came for inspection. I told my lawyer about all this information and she said I must provide my own evaluator of which I can’t afford one. I’m unemployed, my husband made me resign twice and told me he will support me. I’m currently unemployed without any spousal support from him. I really need your assistance. He moved out of the house to live with his new girlfriend and left me with nothing, no money no groceries in this December. I will really appreciate your assistance.
