Was accused of something i didnt do, transferred to another facility, pending an investigation that should have lasted 60 days but dragged for about 3 years Trying- only for them to write me a letter saying they are withdrawing their accusations This letter was not even sent to me but to the union representing me. With no reasons attached. I want to sue a government district facility for emotionally, mentally abusing me causing loss of work opportunities, denied accelerated performance growth and violating my dignity. I was so depressed and embarrassed for 3 years straight, working but my mind was completely not there. I will send proof of the case and their withdrawal and anything relevant if I get the right lawyer.

I have a few slabs/pavers I just set down in my small garden, to see what it would look like. There is also a small area I'd like to cover with artificial grass. I would like to get a quote for someone to assist with the correct laying of the pavers,, and have the small area of artificial grass installed.
I am a pharmacist that occasionally does locum shifts during the year. I do not know how to pay tax on the extra money I earn from extra shifts taken. It's not a fixed amount each year so I believe that I do not have to register for provisional tax. I would like help with the process of declaring my additional income.

My mother has a situation. She verbally agreed with my aunt 20 years ago, for her to take her yard and shack around , the aunt will take the family home. But they signed papers with the previous councillor but lost the documents. Over the years they struggled to change ownership to my mother from my aunt. Now the lawyers they attended recently said the names cannot be changed because the house is under the manucipality name and not my aunts name as it was an RDP. It has to be changed to her name before it can be changed to my mother. So the title deed is with the manucipality and not in my aunt's name. So I need clarity on that matter so that I know how to help her.
I am seeking legal assistance regarding an attempted and, in my view, unlawful termination of my month-to-month residential lease at The Atlanta Amberfield City. The landlord has issued a termination notice effective 30 November , allegedly due to repeated fines for supposed breaches of the estate’s conduct rules. I have disputed these fines in writing, as they are unsupported by evidence and procedurally defective. Despite my formal objections and reliance on the lease’s 20-business-day remedy clause (Clause 23.2), the landlord refused to engage further, stated they “do not intend to prove their case,” and proceeded to charge fines to my rental account before the dispute was resolved. I now require legal guidance on challenging the validity of the termination, recovering any wrongful charges, and ensuring compliance with the Rental Housing Act and Consumer Protection Act.
We drew a plan of the house we are looking for. 3 bedroom Open plan living room and kitchen, space for dining table Seperate space for washing mashine Option between 1. One bathroom with bath, shower and toilet 2. Two bathroom, one on suite and one seperate With patio area. We really liked the idea of red bricks ( inside and out ), but throught nutec might be more cost effective. Not sure if it could be a combination.
The project involves the redevelopment of the former Amogela Mall, located on Mooi Street in the Welkom CBD, Free State, into the Welkom Luxury Mall — a modern, high-end commercial centre aimed at revitalising the surrounding urban area. Current Situation: The existing mall structure is partly deteriorated and surrounded by hard-paved and neglected open areas. There is minimal existing greenery, poor drainage, and limited pedestrian-friendly features. The site requires both rehabilitation and new landscaping to enhance its visual appeal, improve stormwater management, and create a welcoming atmosphere for shoppers. Design Vision and Style Preferences: The landscaping design should complement the mall’s modern luxury architectural style, using low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants suitable for the Free State climate. The client prefers a clean, contemporary aesthetic that includes: Paved pedestrian walkways with integrated seating. Green pockets and planters near entrances and parking areas. Shaded areas with trees or pergolas to enhance comfort. Energy-efficient outdoor lighting for safety and ambience. Feature landscaping around the main entrances and signage zones. Integration of stormwater-friendly features, such as grassed channels or permeable paving, to reduce flooding risks. Project Scale: Approximate total site area: ±16, m² of building footprint with surrounding parking and open spaces. Basement and surface parking with landscaped islands. Landscaping expected mainly in external open areas, pedestrian zones, and mall frontage. Objective: To create an attractive, safe, and environmentally sustainable outdoor environment that enhances the luxury image of the new Welkom Luxury Mall while improving pedestrian flow and user experience.
