HAPPY NEW YEAR 2027

In the Southern Hemisphere, the spring equinox marks a season of renewal, growth and the promise of a flourishing harvest after the rains. Across Africa, this spirit of renewal is reflected in traditions such as Enkutatash in Ethiopia and Inzalo yeLanga, the African New Year honoured by many indigenous communities.

It reminds us that every ending is shaped by how we begin.

“If you want to know the end, look at the beginning.”

May those of us celebrating the New Year, begin 2027 with purpose, integrity, courage and positive intentions, of today, planting the seeds for the future we wish to harvest tomorrow.

From us at Sefara Attorneys & Associates, thank you for allowing us to be Your Legal Partner in Excellence.

To justice, growth, prosperity and new possibilities 🙏🏾

🇿🇦 Happy National Women’s Day | 9 August 2026

Today, we commemorate 70 years since the historic Women’s March of 1956, when 20 000 courageous women marched to the Union Buildings against the oppressive pass laws.

We honour the legacy of Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa, Sophia Williams-De Bruyn, and the thousands of women who stood together with courage, unity and resilience.

Their message remains powerful today:

“Wathint’ Abafazi, Wathint’ Imbokodo.”
You strike a woman, you strike a rock.

May we continue to carry forward the ethos of those women to stand against injustice, speak with courage, support one another and build a better future for generations to come.

At Sefara Attorneys & Associates, we celebrate and honour every woman who continues to lead, inspire, serve and make a difference.

As Sefara Attorneys and Associates, we are proud to celebrate another successful result on behalf of our corporate client.

Also, today also marks another important milestone for our firm. As part of our continued growth and commitment to serving clients more effectively, Sefara Attorneys and Associates has expanded with a new office at:

A positive outcome was achieved in court today following the withdrawal of an immigration related charge against our client.

Our client had been charged with assault and a further charge of illegal immigrant, in terms of section 49 of the Immigration Act 13 of 2002, was subsequently added. The client consistently maintained that he was lawfully present in the Republic and held a valid visa permit.

Acting on our client’s instructions, we engaged with the Department of Home Affairs and obtained official verification confirming the validity of the permit. Representations were submitted to the prosecution requesting the withdrawal of the immigration charge. Although the initial request was declined, the matter was postponed to allow the State to verify the information independently.

Following that verification process, the State today withdrew the immigration related charge.

This matter highlights the importance of thorough legal representation, careful scrutiny of the evidence and ensuring that prosecutorial decisions are informed by verified facts.

At Sefara Attorneys and Associates Attorneys, we remain committed to safeguarding the rights of our clients and advancing the proper administration of justice.

There are moments in legal practice that remind us why we chose this profession.

Recently, Thabiso Sefara had the privilege of assisting a client who, at the beginning of her matter, was unable to afford legal representation. We accepted her case on a contingency basis because we believed in the merits of her claim and in her right to access justice.

After a long journey, the matter has now been successfully settled.

What touched us most was receiving a message of appreciation from the client’s family, thanking us for standing by her during a difficult period and for pursuing the matter diligently until its conclusion.

As legal practitioners, we often work behind the scenes, navigating complex legal processes, managing delays, and advocating for our clients’ rights. Messages like these remind us that our work is ultimately about people, families, and the difference that access to justice can make in their lives.

We are grateful for the trust placed in us and remain committed to serving our clients with integrity, professionalism, and compassion.

Thank you to our client and her family for allowing us to walk this journey with you.

After a prolonged and contested litigation, we are proud to share that a final Protection Order was granted in favour of our client today.

The Domestic Violence Act remains one of the most important pieces of legislation aimed at protecting vulnerable persons and restoring dignity, safety and peace within homes, relationships and families. The Act recognises that domestic violence is not limited to physical assault alone but includes emotional, verbal, psychological, sexual, economic abuse, intimidation, harassment, spiritual, controlling behaviour and damage to property.

Importantly, the law protects people in a wide range of domestic relationships including married couples, life partners, people in dating relationships, former partners, family members, persons sharing a residence and even relationships where one party perceives an intimate relationship to exist.

A Protection Order granted by the court does not simply ‘expire’ after a few months. It remains enforceable unless set aside by a court. In addition, the court automatically issues a suspended Warrant of Arrest together with the order, allowing law enforcement authorities to act swiftly should the respondent breach any condition of the order. This gives victims immediate legal protection and meaningful recourse against continued abuse.

At Sefara Attorneys and Associates, we understand that domestic violence matters are deeply traumatic and emotionally exhausting for victims and their families. We approach every matter with compassion, urgency, professionalism and unwavering commitment to protecting the rights, dignity, safety and wellbeing of our clients.

We remain passionate about standing with survivors of abuse and ensuring that the protections provided by our law are fully enforced.

We obtained another favourable order today on behalf of our client, in an application to vary a divorce order.

The matter was initially opposed by the respondent, who had also provided incorrect pension fund details, which delayed the proper finalisation of the issue. Despite the opposition, the respondent’s legal representative later withdrew from the matter after it became clear that there were no legal grounds to persist with the defence.

The court accordingly granted the variation order as sought.

We remain committed to assisting our clients in enforcing and protecting their rights in all post-divorce matters.

Today marks a significant victory for our client and, most importantly, for the protection of minor children.

The Children’s Court has provisionally suspended parental contact rights in terms of section 28, reinforcing the paramount principle that the best interests of the child must always come first.

This outcome serves as a crucial safeguard in circumstances where ongoing litigation and surrounding factors may negatively impact a child’s well-being and development.

At Sefara Attorneys & Associates, we remain committed to ensuring that the rights, safety, and dignity of children are upheld at all time, especially in complex and sensitive family legal matters.
