Love Ends, Co-Ownership doesn’t: The High Court reaffirms the right to walk away

The purchase of immovable property by unmarried couples is more than a property shared between them, but it represents a home in which they intend to build a life together. But what are the legal implications for the property once the romantic relationship has come to an end? This concern becomes more glaring when both parties are financially tied to the property but one party refuses to cooperate.

In celebration of Women’s Month, we honour our very own Loraine Strydom, recognising her inspiring contribution and professional excellence.

Mentorship is often shaped by what we had — and sometimes by what we didn’t.
In reflecting on more than two decades in the legal profession, Loraine Strydom shares how the absence of a female mentor early in her career taught her the value of becoming one for others.
Her article is a powerful reminder that mentorship is not only about technical guidance. It is about encouragement, dignity, understanding, flexibility and creating space for young professionals to be seen and supported.
Through Herold Gie Attorneys’ Associates Forum, this commitment is now taking structured form — helping associates access mentorship, development opportunities and candid conversations that support their growth as future leaders.
Because sometimes, the smallest moments of support leave the longest-lasting impact.
