Here is a terrible vlog of our visit to Duma Nokwe Chambers, home to the legendary Advocate Thembeka Ngcukaitobi SC.

Lesetja Noko Incorporated Attorneys has recently appointed us on a highly sophisticated Labour Law case. We will be working hand-in-hand with Advocate Makhubele throughout the case. We are both excited and nervous. We appreciate the opportunity. We will show up for this and other matters when duty calls.

This win in particular is very close to our hearts because of all the work that went into it the arrogance of the respondent that rendered us litigating with intent. Let us assist you with your work-related problems.

On Sunday 26 October 2025, at around 19h00, our office received urgent instructions from a colleague handling a semi-high profile criminal case involving three accused persons facing Schedule 6 charges.

We were mandated to draft three seperate Schedule 6 bail applications, each tailored to the factual matrix and personal circumstances of the individual accused. The matter was set down for hearing the following morning. Given the magnitude and urgency of the instructions, our team worked tirelessly through the night, under a constricted deadline, producing comprehensive affidavits in support of bail.

The bail hearing proceeded on the following morning and a successive number of days thereafter until its conclusion on 07 November 2025. The State vigorously opposed bail. Our affidavits in support of bail were read into the record and the court, after having critically engaged with submissions from both ends, was inclined to agree that there were exceptional circumstances that permitted the release of the accused persons on bail.

For more on the background of the case, you may visit the link appended to this post.

Recently, our office was instructed by a client who had been internally excluded from a company recruitment and career advancement process. When she consulted with us, she was understandably ready to escalate the matter to the CCMA. However, not all employment disputes require quasi-judicial intervention from the onset. Sometimes, the solution lies not in litigation, but in leveraging organisational accountability frameworks.

We listened. We assessed. We advised restraint.

Instead of referring a dispute, we utilised her as an alter ego and directed that she sends a strategically worded email to her employer articulating the unreasonableness, procedural unfairness, and discriminatory undertones of the exclusion. Importantly, the correspondence was drafted in her own voice to prevent adversarial escalation while still applying firm legal and reputational pressure.

We were please to learn that the employer subsequently reversed its decision in toto. With a single email representation, we were able to sidestep the CCMA, grievance hearing, and protracted correspondence.

We simply applied strategic Labour Law principles and a precise understanding of internal organisational power dynamics.

Anyone can litigate, but not everyone can win without fighting.

A CHEAT CODE: HOW TO APPOINT AN ATTORNEY OF YOUR CHOICE AT REDUCED LEGAL COSTS

1. GET LEGAL INSURANCE

The most popular that come to mind are Legal Wise, Scorpion, and Clientele Legal. Before you subscribe, ensure that your inurer allows you to appoint an attorney of your choice who may not be on their attorneys' panel. At Teme Attorneys, we currently have LegalWise policyholders who have exercised this option.

2. STAY UP-TO-DATE WITH YOUR PREMIUMS

It may seem futile at first. However, those premiums will come in handy when you get arrested or have to litigate.

3. IN THE ADVENT OF LITIGATION, SEND YOUR INSURER YOUR PREFERRED ATTORNEY'S DETAILS

When you are hit with that law suit or are desirous to sue, contact your insurer and inform them that you wish to appoint your preferred attorney who is not on their panel. Ascertain that you've had a discussion with said attorney beforehand and they are willing to work on the rates prescribed by your insurer.

4. FACILITATE PROPER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN YOUR INSURER AND YOUR ATTORNEY

Once approved, your insurer will send an email to your private attorney with specific requirements. The attorney should respond promptly. The requirements may differ depending on the insurer. What's great about this is that your attorney cannot overreach on charges and give you exaggerated tax invoices. They are capped to a certain reasonable amount which can only be exceeded on good cause shown. Ergo, you may pay less than what an attorney would normally charge. Furthermore, your insurer will ensure accountability and progressive litigation on your behalf by keeping record of your attorney's performance and requesting consistent updates.
