Principles of Delict serves as a practical first port of call to the South African law of delict.

The Fourth Edition surveys cases since 2005, presents a comprehensive overview of developments in the law and illustrates how the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal, especially, have shaped traditional principles to coincide with modern human rights values.

It follows the LAWSA format of focusing primarily on case law and extracting therefrom general principles that may guide those who advise on and apply the law of delict.

The ABC of Conveyancing deals with all aspects of conveyancing without presupposing a previous knowledge of conveyancing. The existing material has been updated to reflect the law and conveyancing practice as at December 2024.

The book is widely used by practitioners and paralegals, as well as by the Law Society of South Africa's LEAD education programme. The text also forms the basis of the Black Conveyancers Association's training for paralegals in conveyancing, and for the latter's recent application to SASSETA for approval of a credit-bearing course for the training of conveyancing paralegals.

The textbook is also used as the prescribed course notes for the South African Law School's programme for Conveyancing.

Entrepreneurs are the core and essence of any economy. Without entrepreneurs, there would be no business; without business, there would be no government, as there would be nobody to pay taxes to finance it. What distinguishes entrepreneurs from the masses, and even from innovative individuals, is that they act on opportunities and create something new, thereby driving economic evolution. Entrepreneurship – a South African perspective is a guide to becoming a successful entrepreneur. It describes and illustrates new business creation within a South African context: the start-up process, the growth stages and the challenges in the maturity phase of the business.

In this fifth edition, all the chapters have been revised substantially and special attention has been given to South African and other case studies relevant to the context of Africa. More emphasis is placed on the post-modern trends of the business world, such as the prominent role of technology and the social impact of businesses.

Contents include the following:

• The nature and development of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneur
• Creativity, innovation and the window of opportunity
• Developing the business plan
• Start-up and resources for entrepreneurs
• Fair trade, competition and consumer protection
• Legislation and regulations affecting entrepreneurs
• Financing, growth and buyout of a business
• The Fourth Industrial Revolution, technology and e-commerce opportunities
• Family businesses, franchising and corporate entrepreneurship in South Africa

Entrepreneurship is aimed at students at all higher education institutions in South Africa, as well as entrepreneurs, managers, management consultants and trainees, developers and presenters of in-house business courses.

What are the dynamics around the quality and quantity of municipal services in South Africa? What kind of systemic, structural and managerial adjustments should be made to improve local government? Who decides what in municipalities? How could active citizen participation in local affairs be stimulated? These and other questions are addressed in Municipal Management: Serving the people.

The authors take a bird’s-eye view of issues such as the constitutional dispensation, regulatory frameworks, municipal administrative and managerial systems, community and political dynamics, as well as municipal functions and services.

This 4th edition reflects new features of, and the latest developments in, the local sphere of government, which makes the book even more relevant to:

• Contextualise the local sphere of government within a system of co-operative governance and intergovernmental relations
• Appreciate the role and functioning of local, district and metropolitan municipalities in South Africa
• Uncover core municipal policies, strategies and programmes
• Comprehend the significance of municipal capacity for effective resource utilisation and service delivery
• Pinpoint best practice regarding managerial systems, processes and procedures

This will enable students to engage actively with the learning material and facilitate discussion in study groups and during lectures.

Student’s Guide to the Law of Contract can be used by lecturers as a primary teaching tool for undergraduate students to improve their students’ knowledge and understanding of basic contractual principles, develop their ability to reason and stimulate their interest in the subject. Likewise, students will find it useful as an aid additional to lectures and more advanced contract law textbooks.
