We were on record for the defendant who is indigent and from the grass roots level. She and her husband became estranged and separated around January 2024 after they were married for more than 10 years.
In reply to our counter claim the Plaintiff through his attorneys of record claim for forfeiture and more specifically that the defendant must forfeit the Plaintiff benefits held by Samancor Procident Fund .
We were successful in representing our client in that the Plaintiff successfully failed to meet the three requirements for forfeiture of matrimonial benefits.
