Striving to honour and empower women this Women’s Day, and year-round
Each year we pay tribute to the thousands of women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956, protesting against the extension of pass laws to women. We pause to reflect on what can be achieved through collective courage and determination and consider what more must still be achieved through collective action. One of CDH’s Pro Bono & Human Rights Practice’s (Practice) aims is to promote access to justice for all women, and to enforce and, where necessary, develop our legal framework to further recognise and honour the lived realities of our women. In this alert we shine a spotlight on some of the work being done by the Practice and public interest organisations to empower women not just this month, but year-round.

Property transactions do not always go as planned. Disputes may arise, leaving both the seller and the purchaser in a difficult position. In these circumstances, the role of the conveyancer may shift from facilitating the transfer of ownership to either assisting to resolve a dispute between the parties or by holding funds in trust pending the resolution of the dispute by the parties themselves or by an order of court.
