The wife left my house in February after Marriage that took place in December . No contact since then. I saw her on WhatsApp whilst tracing. She refused to provide current address. I consulted with court and prepared summons and handed them to Legal aid lawyer 3 years back. Legal aid tried to call her and she was rude refusing gto issue address where summons can be delivered. A private investigator was appointed and provided last known address. Summons handed to Alberton sheriff. Sheriff tried 6 times to serve gates were always locked. Only on 1st attempt he found a small girl and thereafter gates were always locked. I requested the Legal aid attorney to proceed to court but he has a lot of excuses for 3 years now.I. his last email he tried to convince me to allow him to withdraw the case and I start afresh with the Legal aid in Pretoria. I refused because he delayed for 3years and the case was filed in Bushbuckridge,Mhala court. I realized that he has wasted my time now he wants me to start afresh.
I have been targeted by a vindictive manager and was straight dismissed from work for alleged poor performance. No counselling, warnings, or opportunity to improve were given, and no progressive discipline was followed. Staff available were halved , the targets set were unreasonable compared to available resources, as I am an Optometrist and have no control over amount of patients coming into the practice, and the charges against me were false. I believe the dismissal was both procedurally and substantively unfair, and I am seeking advice on pursuing compensation through the CCMA.
I need to obtain full records of my late wife's last admission to Life Entabeni hospital where she unexpectedly died.The hospital has given me application forms for these documents.

I was employed by Blacktrotters Afrika as Group Commercial Manager until 1 August . The dispute relates to the non-payment of monies owing in terms of my employment. The employer has failed to pay the following amounts, despite multiple written requests and submission of supporting documentation: Reimbursement for personally covering accommodation, transport, and emergency expenses for both hosts during a Europe work trip. Supporting spreadsheet has been provided on several occasions. Award money of R30, from December , which was announced and confirmed but remains unpaid. Leave pay for accumulated and unused leave days. I sent the first formal written request on 27 July , the second one was sent on the 06th August and the most recent being 13 August . for confirmation of payment by 15 August . None of these were responded to. I went to the CCMA but was told that, unfortunately, I need to go directly to the labour court because of my earnings threshold.
Assistance required for the below matter that has been dragging since Oct . Compliant again I'm writing to express my deep concern and frustration with the service I've received from your office. Despite numerous attempts to communicate, I've been ignored for almost two weeks now. As you know, this case affects not just me, but also my children and partner. The delay is having a significant impact on our lives, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to tolerate. Furthermore, I've been in contact with the court consultant, who denies any backlog in divorce dates. However, given the prolonged delay, I find this hard to believe. Unfortunately, due to the lack of progress and communication from your office, I'm left with no choice but to consider reporting this matter to the legal board. I'm hoping we can resolve this amicably, but I need to see immediate action. I expect a detailed update on the status of my case and a plan to move forward.
None of the above, however someone has issued a protection order against my mom and other family members as well as acquaintances. My mom and the rest have also opened up an protection order on this woman. She keeps on going on he said, she said rumors and then both her and her husband harasses them and then runs to the cops and plays the victim after shes breached both theirs and her protection orders. They have all been to court 3 times and every single time she either needs a translator or she says she wants a lawyer, there was even a time out of those three that she didnt even pitch for court. She went to the cops tonight on false accusations and they have now detained my mom as well as another two people who she is having beef with. This has literally drained the life out of us as a family and we really need to come up with a solution and get legal advice as to how to go about this. I need to call tomorrow and find out if my mom will be appearing in court tomorrow or Friday. Please do let me know your fees involved in helping us with a way forward. Thanks in advance
I'm in a tricky situation and could really use some advice on how to move forward. About a year ago, my divorce was finalized. Before that, my ex-wife and I were living in a house we rented from my mother. The house is still in my mother's name, but now my ex-wife won't leave, even though she has her own place and family to go to. We're hoping to sell the house so we can use the money to buy my mom a place in a retirement home. Any advice on the best way to handle this would be much appreciated.
I am currently in the middle of a contested divorce that has unfortunately been dragging on since March . I already have legal representation, but I am not satisfied with the service provided there has been a lack of communication, several delays, and ongoing uncertainty about the progress of my case. To date, a settlement agreement has been drafted, and I was advised that it had been shared with the other party. However, I have received no further feedback from my current attorney regarding whether the settlement was accepted, or if a court date is required to proceed further. I have had to do all the follow-up myself, and despite repeated requests for clarity, no proper updates have been provided. At this point, I am exploring the option of appointing a new attorney who can assist in moving this matter forward with urgency. Please note the following: No assets Only debt and retirement savings to discuss Children involved (19 and 12 years old both studying) No support from the father since i moved out at the end of November
