🚨 CAN SAPS ARREST YOU WITHOUT A WARRANT? 🚨

Many people believe that the police can only arrest you if they have a warrant. That is not always true.

In South African law, SAPS may arrest a person without a warrant in certain circumstances, including where:
✔️ A police officer reasonably suspects that you committed a serious offence
✔️ An offence was committed in the officer’s presence
✔️ The officer believes you may flee or interfere with an investigation

However, an arrest must still be lawful and justified. Police officers cannot simply arrest someone because:
❌ They are angry
❌ Someone pointed a finger without proper grounds
❌ “To teach you a lesson”
❌ There was no proper investigation

If you were:
🔹 Wrongfully arrested
🔹 Unlawfully detained
🔹 Assaulted by police
🔹 Held in custody unfairly

you may have the right to institute a claim against the Minister of Police.

Know your rights. An arrest is a serious invasion of your freedom, and the law protects every person against unlawful conduct.

We are proud to share that our director, Mrs Yolanda Taljaard, recently attended the graduation ceremony of the SAJEI Brigette Mabandla Aspirant Women Judges Programme.

The graduation ceremony featured insightful addresses, including a keynote by the President of the Supreme Court of Appeal, Justice M B Molemela, who emphasised the importance of equipping women with the skills, confidence, and support needed to lead and shape a more equitable judiciary.

Esteemed speakers for the day also included Judge President Legodi and Judge Pillay, whose contributions highlighted the significance of mentorship, transformation, and excellence within the legal profession.

Mrs Taljaard’s attendance at this prestigious occasion reflects her continued commitment to professional development and her support for initiatives that empower women in law and strengthen our courts.

We commend her on being part of such a meaningful and inspiring event.
