We were attacked by ladies with my friend and they followed us for about 3km.They were close to +-15 people , they were using knobkerries,sjamboks and stones to attack us acting on self-defence .They went to police station to open a case and it was during that period of 16 days of activism.I was so injured that I went to the Dr for being treated and I opened case against them on the 28 Nov but on Friday 13Dec24 police sent me case number and the case is not yet been investigated.
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.
I am married under Muslim rights for around 9 years now, not under government law. We have 3 children, all of whom are going to schools I've put them into next year, I'd like to keep them with me at least most of the time. I see to the children's education, that they're in schools and programs that will help them grow. I've also been the breadwinner since we got married and I'm afraid their won't be much stability if they stayed with their mother. I'm also afraid that they might get hurt around her while she's throwing any of her temper tantrums
I have a High Court of Johannesburg matter which I have litigated myself since March because I could not afford representation. I am an Accountant. The Defendant's strategy is one of delay and pedantic adherence to my procedural defects. The matter went to Court on 6 May , but was postponed because the Defendant's Attorney stated that my Expert Reports were not preceded by a Notice of Intention to Amend. I then decided that I need an Attorney to take the matter to its conclusion. I have irrefutable documentary evidence of the Defendant's Misrepresentation, harassment of my Witness and tampering with evidence. I will pay for an Attorney's services once I win. I am even prepared to negotiate the payment of a premium, in the form of a percentage of my award. My claim was originally R7.9 mil, but my Actuary has claimed more. This premium will therefore be a handsome sum of money. A Senior Counsel Advocate has said that "my prospects of success are excellent", after perusing my documents. Please assist a layman, who has suffered a severe injustice at the hands of a self-proclaimed "multi-millionaire", to get the Justice he deserves. Most of the groundwork in this matter is already done.
