"My father died in without a will. I was a minor at the time. My mother and family were never informed about an executor or the administration of his estate. We recently discovered that his house in Soweto was sold and transferred in without our knowledge. I need legal assistance to investigate the deceased estate and determine whether the sale was lawful
Good morning, My name is , and I urgently need legal assistance and advice regarding the following matter: On 2 July , we purchased a Audi Q7 3.0 TDI V6 Quattro Tiptronic from GoBid. The car was bought with , km on the odometer and without any service record. We subsequently sold the car on 17 January . However, on the day the new buyer purchased the vehicle from us, he was involved in an accident while en route to Cape Town; he struck an antelope, causing damage (I am not sure if he had this repaired). Now, six months after the purchase, the buyer has contacted me with a service history he obtained from the dealer for this car, which indicates that the last service was performed at , km. It is evident that the car's mileage had been rolled back either before or while it was in GoBid's possession. The buyer now wants to return the vehicle and get his money back. How should we handle this, given that the fault did not originate with us and we had no knowledge regarding the actual mileage? Furthermore, he used the vehicle for six months and was involved in an accident with it. We have already contacted GoBid; their terms and conditions protect them, stating that cars are bought "as is" and that there are no warranties on auction vehicles. (We do, however, have photographic evidence showing the vehicle with , km on the clock at the time we purchased it.) If perhaps you can help me or refer me to someone who can assist? Thanks,

I worked as a Manager for the same company for approximately six years at the company's instruction, I invoiced monthly for my basic salary and commission rather than being paid through payroll. Following the closure of the business, all staff were retrenched and paid accordingly, except for myself and my direct manager, who worked under the same invoicing arrangement. The company now argues that we were consultants and therefore not entitled to severance pay. I referred an unfair dismissal dispute to the CCMA following the retrenchment. The employer argued that because more than 10 employees were retrenched, the unfair dismissal matter falls under the Labour Court rather than the CCMA. I argued that my employment status must first be determined, and the Commissioner agreed and will issue a jurisdictional ruling by approximately 16 July . If the Commissioner rules that I was an employee, I will likely need legal representation in the Labour Court to pursue the unfair dismissal claim and compensation, while separately pursuing severance pay through the CCMA. If, in the unlikely event, the Commissioner rules that I was a consultant, I would first need to approach the Labour Court to challenge and overturn that ruling.
I respectfully request urgent legal assistance regarding my family documentation and parental rights. I have been living in South Africa since and currently do not possess valid immigration documentation. I am the biological father of minor children whose mother is a South African citizen. The children's mother is supportive and willing to cooperate in formally registering my paternity. At present, my name does not appear on the children's birth certificates. I wish to regularize my parental status through the lawful procedures required by the Department of Home Affairs, including any paternity acknowledgement or DNA testing process that may be required. My primary concern is that, due to my undocumented status, I fear arrest, detention, or deportation if I attend Home Affairs without legal guidance or protection. I am therefore seeking assistance to: Protect the family unit and the best interests of the children. Obtain legal advice regarding my immigration status. Register my paternity safely and lawfully. Ensure my children's records accurately reflect their biological father. Explore any available legal remedies that may allow me to regularize my status in South Africa. I respectfully request guidance on the appropriate legal process and representation where necessary.
