Client Success Stories
From sole proprietors defending their businesses to families resolving everyday consumer or property disputes, here is how JustLegal secures justice and financial safety for South Africans.
Unfair Dismissal & CCMA Peace of Mind
"An ex-employee took us to the CCMA claiming unfair dismissal over a transparent redundancy process. As a small business, we didn’t have a full-time legal HR team. JustLegal stepped in immediately, assigned a senior labor specialist to represent us, and the case was dismissed. We saved over R45,000 in potential settlement fees!"
Sipho Ndlovu
SME Founder, Ndlovu Logistics • Johannesburg, GP
Landlord Dispute Fully Resolved
"My landlord tried to withhold my rental deposit of R18,000 after I moved out, claiming pre-existing wear-and-tear damages. The advisory team at JustLegal drafted a professional Letter of Demand within 24 hours citing the Rental Housing Act. Within 3 days, the landlord refunded the full amount with interest. Incredible speed!"
Marietjie van der Merwe
Primary School Educator • Pretoria, GP
Solid Commercial Contracts Protect Growth
"We were signing a major corporate retainer contract. JustLegal reviewed the agreement, identified three highly disadvantageous indemnity clauses, and re-drafted them to protect our intellectual property. Their attorney explained the legal jargon simply. We now sign contracts with total confidence."
Amara Okafor
Director, Zenith Creative Agency • Cape Town, WC
Immediate Help on the 24/7 Hotline
"I had an urgent civil dispute matter on a Friday evening regarding an accidental property boundary issue with a contractor. I called the JustLegal 24/7 advice line. The attorney on duty was patient, knowledgeable, and guided me exactly on my legal rights and immediate next steps. It stopped a massive headache before the weekend."
Thabo Mokoena
Single Parent & Engineer • Durban, KZN
Supplier Breach Civil Defence
"A supplier failed to deliver specialized refrigeration units but refused to refund our R85,000 upfront deposit. Our JustLegal litigation cover kicked in. The appointed panel firm initiated formal civil litigation proceedings. The supplier settled out of court within two weeks of receiving the summons."
Devan Pillay
Spars Retail Franchise Owner • Durban, KZN
Peace of Mind with Family Legal Cover
"Being self-employed, I bought the Family Personal Plan to cover my household. When we had an issue with a vehicle dealership selling a defective pre-owned car, JustLegal’s legal team stood by us, drafted the letters, and got the dealership to exchange the vehicle. It pays for itself over and over."

Navigating CCMA & Employee Rights in South Africa
Adv. Sipho Ndlovu
Labour Relations Specialist
In South Africa, employee rights are robustly protected under the Labour Relations Act (LRA). However, many employees and employers are unsure of the correct steps to take when a workplace dispute arises. The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) serves as an independent body to resolve these issues fairly.
An unfair dismissal dispute must be referred to the CCMA within 30 days of the date of dismissal. If this window is missed, the applicant must apply for formal condonation, explaining the delay with valid justification.
The process typically begins with 'Conciliation'. This is an informal meeting where a commissioner attempts to help both parties reach a mutual agreement or settlement. No legal representation is generally allowed during conciliation, making it highly accessible and focused on amicable resolution.
If conciliation fails, the commissioner issues a certificate of non-resolution. The dispute can then be referred to 'Arbitration'. This is a more formal, court-like proceeding where both sides present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and argue their case. Here, having legal cover and access to professional representation can be the difference between winning and losing your case.
Whether you are facing unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, or unfair labour practices regarding promotions or suspension, knowing your rights is your strongest tool.
Key Takeaways for South Africans
- You have exactly 30 days from the date of dismissal to refer an unfair dismissal case to the CCMA.
- Conciliation is an informal, non-legal meeting to seek a compromise; arbitration is a formal hearing where evidence is officially ruled on.
- The Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) establishes baseline rights for leave, working hours, and notice periods that cannot be overridden by employment contracts.
