Labour Relations ActWhen does an actionable dismissal occur? Understanding when an employer ends an employment relationship without substantive justification or fair procedure, and the critical 30-day CCMA referral timeline.
A dismissal occurs when an employer terminates employment with or without notice, refuses to renew a fixed-term contract where there was a reasonable expectation of renewal, or makes continued employment intolerable.
To be fair, a dismissal must be both substantively fair (a valid reason relating to conduct, capacity or operational requirements) and procedurally fair (a proper process). A dispute must generally be referred to the CCMA or relevant bargaining council within 30 days of the dismissal.

Estate SuccessionA valid Will protects your dependants, nominates guardians for minor children, avoids the default rules of the Intestate Succession Act, and eases property transfer through the Master’s Office.
A Will sets out your final wishes: who inherits your assets, who administers your estate as executor, and how assets left to minor children are managed — often through a testamentary trust.
If you die without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act, which may not reflect your wishes. Your Will should be reviewed after major life events such as marriage, divorce or the birth of a child.

Matrimonial RegimesMarriage is a momentous personal commitment. Without a registered Antenuptial Contract, your marriage defaults to “in community of property” — exposing both spouses’ assets to either spouse’s creditors.
An Antenuptial Contract (ANC) must be signed before a notary before the wedding and registered in the Deeds Office. It can provide for a marriage out of community of property with or without the accrual system.
The accrual system shares the growth of each spouse’s estate during the marriage, while complete separation keeps estates fully independent. The right choice depends on your assets, business interests and future plans.
