“Question 1: Cas Study: Prime Properties Sipho Bekwha works for an estate agent in Polokwane called Prime Properties. He is responsible for maintenance related matters at the office. Sipho completed Grade 12 three years ago and has been working at Prime Properties ever since. The company opened the Polokwane branch ten years ago after they opened the first branch in Nelspruit 15 years ago. Tanya Geyer started her career as the branch manager in Nelspruit and the company asked her to open the new office in Polokwane. Tanya accepted the offer. She initially started with two estate agents and has subsequently appointed an additional three. One of the estate agents, Dorcas Monyane, has not been living up to expectations and they have decided to use her as an administrative assistant in the office. She has agreed to this. The branch mainly concentrates on properties in two upmarket neighborhoods in Polokwane. There are excellent schools and shops in the vicinity and the area is easily from the freeways. This is an important selling point as several people stay in Polokwane and work in the surrounding towns. In general, the size of the houses is reasonable. However, most of the houses are more than 30 years old and need to be renovated. The organizational structure of the Polokwane branch of Prime Properties appears below: Tanya has recently suggested that the company should perhaps investigate the possibility of renovating a few properties before they sell them. The income from selling these renovated homes would increase by 100%. Her decision was based on numerous requests from potential buyers looking for renovated properties in the area. Tanya’s silent partner Pradeep saw this as a wonderful opportunity and suggested the agency also start renovating the properties before selling it. To do this, they will need to make use of outside contractors and a few other people that they will have to employ that they expand the business and also agreed to this, and they proceeded to buy three such properties to renovate. They do not have time to manage these projects themselves and they thus appointed Barry Smith as a team leader and supervisor to oversee the renovations. Barry has unfortunately fallen ill and as he is near retirement age, he decided that it would be in his own best interest to resign. Tanya realizes that they must come up with a solution fast to ensure that they finish the renovations in time. The properties need to be put on the market as soon as possible. Tanya only recently discovered that Sipho has a code 08 driver’s license. He is very trustworthy and has been maintaining their building very well over the past three years. He takes initiative, completes tasks well before due dates and he can work under pressure. Sipho spoke to Tanya a month ago and told her that he was ready for something more challenging. She approached Pradeep about involving Sipho in the renovations by making him responsible for Barry’s tasks. Tanya is of the opinion that they will be able to easily fill Sipho’s current position. They can even consider Barry for it if he recovers and wants to do this type of work. Case Study Questions 1. Career Management Stages Is it Tanya’s responsibility to manage Sipho’s career?

“please see if my answer is correct – In Cowley and Another v Hahn 1987 (1) SA 440 (E), the court stated the following: A usufruct is a personal right, held by the usufructurary only, to the use of the property and its fruits. It does not diminish the rights of ownership such as a real or praedial servitude does, and which confers on the holder of the servitude a right in the property adverse to the dominium holder. The existence of the usufruct may well limit or restrict the enjoyment by the owner of certain rights of possession, and of benefits accruing from the property, but it does not diminish in any way any of the rights of ownership or dominium. Introduction The Judgement in the Cowley case has been heavily criticized by many legal experts for its incorrect conclusions and description of the legal nature of a usufruct. As we can see that the court made incorrect assumptions and conclusions relating to usufructs. The main issues that are critically analyse were made in the following regard; • The usufruct is a personal right , held by the usufructuary ; • It does not diminish the rights of ownership such as a real and praedial servitude does; Applicable Principles The usufruct is a personal right, held by the usufructuary As a point of departure a usufruct is a personal servitude, and as it established by law that both personal servitudes and praedial servitudes constitute real rights. A usufruct is a limited real right in terms of which the owner or grantor of a thing confers on the usufructuary the right to use and enjoy the thing and to draw both natural and civil fruits from the source which the usufruct relates. The Cowley case made a mistake when it described a usufruct as a mere personal right , and the incorrectness of this decision was identified in the Felix v Nortier 1996 case Its does not diminish the rights of ownership such as a real and praedial servitude does Since the usufructuary has the right to use and enjoy the thing to the extent that it necessarily includes the cultivation and acquisition of both the natural and civil fruits, the usufructuary becomes the owner of the fruits when she collects them and will be responsible for the costs associated with the cultivation and collection of the natural fruits. In this way owners dominium is diminished by the creation of the usufruct which is a limited real right for the duration of the usufruct. Further that the owners right of ownership can be diminished by the ability of the usufructuary to evict the owner of the property in terms of the Prevention of the Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act 19 of 1998. Conclusion Therefore in view of the above facts , the court erred in the Cowley v Hahn 1987 case by describing a usufruct as a mere personal right and the incorrectness of this decision was confirmed in the Felix v Nortier 1996 case.”
