ASA roads costing motorists more than R200bn annually by Miles Carter
Monday, April 06, 2009
On a leisurely Sunday morning outing, you fall from your bicycle while swerving to avoid a large pothole in the road. You sustain serious injuries.

Tuesday, May 06, 2008
The enactment of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act, 1996 (“the Constitution”) has brought many a change to our previous legislation which entitled the arrest of persons in civil litigation.

The Constitutional Court’s decision was premised on the finding that these provisions were inconsistent with the right to personal freedom entrenched in the Constitution.
