My ex husband and I divorced many years ago. My home is the primary residence. He never stuck to the amounts payable so I let him take the kids for half the time. He paid for school fees only for all these years but nothing else. He took care of everything for 2 weeks a month when they were with him and I took care of the 2 weeks when they were with me. He always earned 3 or 4 times my salary but his salary decreased alot over the past few years. I worked casually for a few years and currently my salary is less than 1/3 of his. Recently things have changed in his home environment and the kids don't feel emotionally safe. The kids are refusing to go to him. They don't even want to visit. We had several discussions with him and the kids have explained in detail but he says they are lying. I have witnessed some of the things. He is refusing for the school transport to pick them up and not willing to pay a cent for food if they don't come to him. He even said he won't pay school fees from April as he will now need to use that money to hire an attorney.

Hi, I need advice/assistance with a sectional title dispute. The owner in the unit above me had a major repair done to her bathroom, approximately 2 months ago. The plumbers are not certified and did not offer her a guarantee for the work done (by her admittance last week). On 29 January , I informed the owner upstairs that there was water leaking from her bathroom, into my bathroom. After numerous follow ups from my side, she eventually called the same plumber for a quick repair job. A few days later, the leak started again, but worse. I've been very patient and cooperative, to the point that I even arranged for the Complex's Plumber PLUS an independent (Certified Plumbing and Building) Contractor to assess the damage and quote her for repairs. The water leakage is getting worse, damaging my bathroom tiles, and is spreading to my bedroom ceiling, with the potential of mold growth. This is devaluing my property and causing me immense stress. I have informed her of this, yet she is in no haste to get the repairs done, EVEN AFTER the plumber's assessment (severe water leakage, damage and mold already forming in her own bathroom). I have all the correspondence between myself and the owner, with images. PLEASE HELP ME. What should I do?
I need a semi attached house which caught fire to be demolished. What remains of the attached house is vacant. The owner of the attached part has abandoned the property for some time. There has been foreign nationals who since moved in , however they have also abandoned the property after the house burnt. I am the owner of the other attached dwelling. I wish to rebuild , however I cannot rebuild without demolishing the current structure and impacting the ajoining abandoned building.

1. Structural Integrity & Safety First You want the repaired carports to be: • Strong, stable, and able to withstand wind, weather, and long‑term use • Welded professionally with clean joints and no weak points • Installed with correct alignment so the structure looks uniform and professional • Reinforced where necessary to prevent future sagging or collapse This ensures the VVIP parking area is safe, reliable, and presentable. 2. A Clean, Fresh, Professional Appearance Your expectation is that the carports should look new and uniform, including: • Smoothly prepared poles (sanded, rust removed, primed) • One coat anti‑rust primer • Two coats of high‑quality non‑drip enamel • Colour matching the existing municipal standard (white) This gives the stadium a polished, well‑maintained look. 3. High‑Quality Steel Poles For the new roof and support poles, you want: • Correct dimensions (9m x mm and 2m x mm) • High‑grade steel • Clean, strong welds • Proper anchoring to existing stanchions • Painted to match the rest of the structure This ensures durability and consistency. 4. Shade Cloth That Stays Tight & Neat Your wish is for a shade cloth installation that: • Uses 60–80% knitted shade cloth • Is tensioned evenly using steel tension cables • Has no sagging, loose edges, or uneven sections • Is cut and fitted neatly around poles • Matches the existing colour scheme This gives the carports a clean, professional finish. 5. Workmanship That Meets Municipal Standards You expect: • Clean site preparation • Professional tools and equipment • Skilled welders and installers • No shortcuts • Compliance with safety standards • A final product that can pass municipal inspection This ensures your tender submission is strong and credible. 6. Clean Site Handover Your wish is for the contractor to: • Remove all rubble, offcuts, old shade cloth, and paint waste • Leave the VVIP parking area clean and usable • Ensure no hazards remain on site A clean handover reflects professionalism
