Can a social media post lead to a defamation claim?

A recent High Court matter involving social media commentator Musa Khawula highlights the potential legal consequences of making defamatory allegations online.

Businessman Senzo Tsabedze approached the court over posts on X in which Khawula allegedly made claims about his personal life. Tsabedze sought the removal of the posts, an apology and an order preventing further publication of the allegations.

The case is a reminder that posting on social media is not exempt from the law of defamation. Statements made online can have serious consequences if they unlawfully harm another person's reputation.

Before posting or sharing allegations about another person, consider whether the information is accurate, lawful and capable of damaging their reputation.

What you post online can have legal consequences.

Every contract creates obligations.

Taking a few extra minutes to review the details before signing can save months of unnecessary disputes later.

Can a family member claim a pension death benefit after already inheriting millions from a deceased estate?

A recent case has sparked debate after a woman challenged the allocation of her late brother's R8.3 million pension death benefit, despite having inherited approximately R5.8 million from his estate. The dispute centred on whether the deceased's long-term girlfriend qualified as a recognised dependant under South African pension law.

The case is a reminder that pension death benefits do not automatically form part of a deceased estate. Instead, retirement fund trustees must distribute these benefits in accordance with the Pension Funds Act by identifying legal and factual dependants, rather than simply following a will or the rules of inheritance.

If you are unsure how retirement benefits, estates and inheritance interact, seeking legal advice can help you understand your rights and avoid costly disputes.

Eviction in South Africa is not as simple as asking someone to leave.

The law is very specific about how and when a landlord can remove a tenant from a property and getting the process wrong can result in costly delays, court appearances, and an eviction that is set aside entirely.

Under the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, known as PIE - no person may be evicted without a court order. This applies even when a lease has expired, when rent has not been paid, or when the occupation was never formally agreed to.

For landlords, this means following the correct legal process from the very first step. For tenants, it means you have rights that cannot simply be overridden by a letter or a changed lock.

Whether you are a property owner dealing with a non-paying tenant or a tenant facing an unlawful eviction, the right legal guidance at the start of the process will always be less costly than trying to fix it later.

67 minutes can change something. 67 years changed everything.

On Mandela Day, we are reminded that the law is not just a profession, it is a tool for justice, dignity, and the protection of every person's rights.

Nelson Mandela understood better than most that without access to legal protection, rights exist only on paper. His life's work was proof that the law, used with purpose, can dismantle inequality and restore human dignity.

At VCB Inc., we believe that everyone deserves to understand their rights and have access to proper legal guidance, not just those who can easily afford it.

This Mandela Day, we encourage you to ask the hard questions. Know your rights. Protect what matters. And if someone around you needs legal guidance they cannot access, point them in the right direction.

Signing a lease is one of the most common legal acts South Africans perform. It is also one of the most frequently misunderstood.

A lease agreement is a binding contract. What is written in it and what is left out will determine your rights if a dispute arises with your landlord or tenant.

Some of the most common issues we see:
- Deposit terms that are vague or not compliant with the Rental Housing Act
- No clear maintenance responsibility clauses
- Illegal escalation clauses that exceed what the law permits
- No proper inspection records at move-in or move-out

Whether you are a landlord protecting your investment or a tenant protecting your rights, having your lease reviewed before you sign is not overcautious. It is common sense.

One conversation with us could save you months of unnecessary dispute: 018 468 8830 | [email protected]

It is one of the most common assumptions South Africans make, and one of the most costly.

When things go wrong, whether through a breakup or the death of a partner, the law will not fill in the gaps you never got around to addressing.

What protects you is not time. It is documentation. A Cohabitation Agreement sets out how shared property, finances, and responsibilities are handled. A valid Will ensures your partner is provided for in the way you actually intend. Without these, your wishes and your partner's security are left entirely to chance.

Do not let assumptions do the work that legal agreements should be doing.

Being arrested does not mean you are guilty, but it does mean you need to understand your rights immediately.

In South Africa, every arrested person has the right to remain silent, the right to legal representation, and the right to be brought before a court within 48 hours. What happens in the first few hours after an arrest can have a significant impact on what follows.

Many people do not know these rights until it is too late to use them properly.
