AGM MINUTES - 2 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUEST SPEAKER The President welcomed the Guest Speaker, Former President of the Republic of South Africa, Kgalema Motlanthe. INTRODUCTION OF GUEST SPEAKER: FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, KGALEMA MOTLANTHE Mr Lunga Peter introduced the guest speaker, former President of the Republic of South Africa, Kgalema Motlanthe, by providing a brief background of his career. During his years in prison from 1977 to 1987, being found guilty under the Terrorism Act, he stated the following:

"We were a community of people who ranged from the totally illiterate to people who could very easily have been professors at universities. We shared basically everything. The years out there were the most productive years in one's life, we were able to read all the material that came our way, took an interest in the lives of people, even in the remotest corners of this world. To me those years gave meaning to life".

ADDRESS BY KGALEMA MOTLANTHE (FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA) The following is a summary of the address: Mr Motlanthe thanked the Chairperson, for his kind words of welcome and extended his greetings to all Judges and Attorneys present at the Annual General Meeting. He expressed the privilege he felt because, during the days of the freedom struggle, it was members of the Attorneys’ profession that helped to understand the meaning and importance of apartheid legal instruments. During the transition the Attorneys also helped define the rules to be associated with our freedom. The struggle for freedom boasts of giants from this noble profession, such as former President Nelson Mandela, the former President of the ANC, Oliver Tambo, the Queen’s Council Bram Fischer, former President of the Pan Africanist Congress, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, former Secretary General of the African National Congress, Advocate Duma Nokwe, just to mention a few. It must also be remembered that Oliver Tambo led a team that prepared a path for the new democratic Constitution of South Africa. Were he alive today, he would have celebrated his 99th birthday on the 27th October 2016, and on the eve of freedom in 1994, Oliver Tambo, OR as he was affectionately known, led the ANC leadership in its deliberations about the future they dreamt of and hoped for. His sharp legal mind helped to translate the hopes and aspirations into a set of constitutional principles. The result of Oliver Thambo’s work and the team that he led

AGM MINUTES - 3 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- may be gleaned from the seminal Harare Declaration which was adopted by the frontline states and the Organisation of African Union and in 1989 received the support of the United Nations General Assembly. This Declaration, together with both the ANC’s Constitutional Guidelines for a Democratic South Africa and the Ready to Govern Documents, set the formalities and procedures for negotiations. They provided the foundation for our Constitution. I am more than pleased that the input of Oliver Tambo’s generation of lawyers has been immortalised by the Supreme Court of Appeal in South African Broadcasting Corporation and Others v Democratic Alliance and Others, where the learned Judge of Appeal quoted with approval the Ready to Govern Document to give context to the establishment, object and purpose of the Office of the Public Protector. I would be remiss in my duties if I do not recall the defence to the law and the principle of legality displayed by former President Nelson Mandela in the South African Rugby Football Union matter when he had to decide whether as Head of State he should testify. He understood that the historical epoch were we required him to lead by example to show that the Constitution binds all of us and that we now live under the rule of law. Equally eminent jurists such as Chief Justices Arthur Chaskalson, Ismail Mohamed, Pius Langa and Sandile Ngcobo steered our highest court with distinction and brilliance. They ushered in a constitutional jurisprudence that will guide us and future generations in the construction of a new state and society. The tone and tenor of the Constitutional Court in State v Makwanyane, the very first case to be decided by the Constitutional Court, signalled the nature and extent of the break from the past and the coming in of the new interregnum, to borrow from the words of the Italian intellectual, Antonio Gramsci. Indeed, this case brought a sigh of relief to many who were on death row. It outlawed this kind of cruel and inhumane punishment but also emphasised the constitutional right to life. He urged us to remember some of the selfless lawyers such as Bheki Mlangeni, Griffiths and Victoria Mxenge, Godfrey Pitje, Bram Fischer, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, Dullah Omar and Thembile Skweyiya, to name but a few, and invited all to study very closely the story of Duma Nokwe, who graduated with a BSc degree and a diploma in Education and later studied law. After harassment by apartheid forces, shut out of the teaching profession, Duma studied law, probably strongly influenced by his former teacher, Oliver Tambo, and when he qualified in 1956 he became the first African barrister to be admitted to the Transvaal Supreme Court, but he was effectively prevented from practising his profession by a Native Affairs Department directive disbarring him from taking Chambers with his white colleagues in the centre of Johannesburg and ordering him to find an office in an African township, Duma Nokwe contested the order which conflicted with the Supreme Court rule that the offices of a barrister must be within reach of the court, but the issue was largely academic by then because Duma Nokwe was one of the 156 leaders arrested in December of 1956 and who were to face treason charges for a period of four and a half years. Duma Nokwe died on 12 January 1978 in exile at the tender age of fifty.

AGM MINUTES - 4 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duma Nokwe served as the ANC’s chief rep to the United Nations. It is recorded that Eric Louw, who was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Africa, was confronted by this very eloquent black man in the General Assembly of the United Nations, all that Eric Louw could say was, “Well, we’re being accused of discriminating against blacks in South Africa, but which other black from any of the African countries is as eloquent as this man, who is the product of our system?” So, in that way Eric Louw was able to duck the issue that was confronting him at that time. Duma Nokwe was a man of small build, small stature physically speaking, but in spirit he was a giant, a political leader of our people, who not only understood the struggle of South Africans for freedom and non-racialism, as one that should really be viewed as a national struggle, but one that had to be viewed as an international struggle in that he strongly believed that the resolution of racial discrimination in South Africa bore the promise of finding a solution to racial discrimination across the globe. I can only speculate on why these lawyers of that generation did what they did to advance our march towards freedom in those days of oppression. I can only venture to say that their training in law sharpened their sense of justice. I may also suggest that their interpretive skills led them to envision a free South Africa based on justice and freedom for all. Whatever it may be, they have laid the foundation from which we must now build. We must build a society that these forebears helped us to envision. I recall the contribution of these lawyers, we have to ask ourselves what the role of today’s lawyer is in the construction of this new society. What is required of the agent of the Constitution, a person worthy of being called an Officer of the Court? I do not propose that I have an answer to this question. I, however, believe that it is a question that we must ask and attempt to answer. We are a vintage of lawyers, and find them practising law at the dawn of our democracy because we are hardly two decades into this democracy. The country is battling to construct a new State and a new society based on unity, democracy, non-racialism, non-sexism, equality and justice for all. We are a Society that is struggling to emerge from the stubborn remnants and vestiges of the old apartheid order. The remnants I refer to include the skewed patterns of development and deep inequality. Against the context I have just sketched, how is a lawyer expected to contribute to the national project to create this new society? I refer here to the organised profession instead of the individual practitioner. It seems to me that there are a number of ways in which the organised profession may contribute: firstly, our Constitution promotes a participatory democracy, a law, whether it is a principle or delegated legislation is not passed by Parliament without public participation. The submissions by the legal profession on matters such as the revision of the company laws and the Legal Practice Act are a good example.

AGM MINUTES - 5 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like the profession to consider making more contributions to the making of laws which impact on the rights protected in the Bill of Rights; for instance, the emotive nature of the debate on both sides of the divide when the Protection of Information Bill was piloted through Parliament tended to excite the sensitive and blur the balance that needed to be struck between privacy, access to information and security of the Republic. I have very little doubt that an impartial and scholarly legal view from the profession in this regard would have contributed in some way to lowering the temperature. Parliament exercises oversight on the executive arm of the State: the Ministers, their departments and State agencies table their reports before Parliament. The organised profession may assist Parliament by interrogating some of those reports if it has reason to believe that they do not pass legal muster. For example, Parliament may be alerted to gross breaches of corporate governance or under-reporting by an agency of the State, or breaches of the Constitution by a particular department. Parliament also performs other important tasks such as conducting interviews of people who wish to serve in Chapter 9 institutions. In this regard it would be helpful to Parliament if the profession actively participates in some of the processes by providing analysis and insights into the suitability, probity or strength of the candidates. The interaction between the profession and Parliament is likely to leave Parliament more enriched and the quality of its decisions improved. Secondly, the Executive regularly faces vexed policy questions which admit to no easy answers. Knowing that the Constitution is the supreme law, the Executive needs to ensure that their resultant decision or delegated legislation echoes the ethos of the Constitution. The debate emanating from the implementation of the immigration regulations that required travellers to produce unabridged certificates is an example and in this regard a dispassionate contribution to the debate by the organised profession could have aided public discourse in no small measure. I am informed that the judiciary as the third arm of the State is imbued with infinite checks and balances to ensure that it delivers justice in its oversight of the other two arms of the State. I have learned that an aggrieved litigant is entitled to an appeal right up to the apex court and that upper courts are entitled to depart from the findings of the courts below when such departure is warranted. Some of the issues that are elevated to the highest court in the land involve legal interpretational issues which have been described by authors Wolfe et all as issues of excruciating complexity. This is partly because often the legislature does not expressly spell out its intention in the legislation in as clear terms as may be desired. Professor Christopher Forsythe avers in his article on English administrative law entitled, “Showing the Fly the Way out of the Fly Bottle: the value of formalism and conceptual reasoning in administrative law” that the legislature may choose to use less open-textured language or more open-textured language, it may restrict the choice open to the applier of the law by specifying precisely what the outcome in particular circumstances is to be, or it may use such broad and evaluative language that the interpreter is restrained only by rationality.

AGM MINUTES - 6 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is in this latter instance that differences of opinion may arise. The courts are not immune from this. As Forsythe puts it:

“Judges never act as desiccated automatons, mechanically pronouncing a judgment that could have been crafted by a computer.”

For example, it is true that our Constitution ranks amongst the most advanced globally, it provides for a constitutional right to administrative justice. The mechanism to enforce this right is provided in the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, commonly known as PAJA. One of the notable innovations in PAJA is that it defines organs of State to include private entities that are exercising power or discharging a public function in terms of enabling legislation. The wisdom of this provision of the Constitution and of PAJA is eruditely summed up by Justice Froneman in the second of the AllPay cases. This approach protects the interests of the bearers of the constitutional rights where the enjoyment of these rights is dependent on a private entity contracted by the State to deliver a public service. However, public power or public function is not always as clear-cut as in the AllPay case. In some cases the legislation providing for this power is couched in more open-textured language. Justice Lange observes in Chirwa v Transnet Limited that determining the nature of power is notoriously difficult. Hoekstra, a leading scholar in South African administrative law, echoes the same sentiment. She states that:

“There is no litmus test for determining whether a power or function is public. Instead, diagnosis takes place on a case by case basis and the courts make use of factors or indicia such as the source of the power, the presence or absence of autonomy, public funding, impact on the public and coercive or monopoly power. Unsurprisingly, this approach leads to problems of indeterminacy and inconsistency.”

The resolution of this imponderable often calls for reliance on the prevailing political philosophy concerning the proper role of government, if there is a prevailing philosophy, for one would expect this to be highly contested political terrain. What if the apex court errs in its attempt to decode the prevailing political philosophy, what should we expect from the organised profession? My humble submission is that the profession should invest in a collective capability to engage with the legal principles emanating from the court judgments beyond the matters that the individual practitioners are seized with. The development of our nascent constitutional jurisprudence does require a view from those who are at the coalface of legal practice. He encouraged all to develop collective capacity to engage with novel legal principles and theories that are shaping our constitutional jurisprudence. Such intellectual engagement between the courts and the profession can only be a welcome irritation, if any. I understand that the courts are empowered to revisit their

AGM MINUTES - 7 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- own decisions in subsequent similar cases if they hold the view that they were wrong on their initial assessment of the law. It is in this context that I implore the profession to engage with the legal theories and principles as they develop; particularly those that seek to give content to our constitutional rights. Lastly, the ancient Chinese wisdom advises that if we want to invest in the future we should invest in the education of our young. This holds true for this profession. If it wishes to be transformed into a profession of the future it needs to ensure that the future lawyers that this profession produces should have a culture of human rights and constitutionalism embedded in the lawyerly DNA of each one of its products. They should be equipped, not only with superior legal skills, but with compassion for their fellow citizens who are yet to enjoy the dividends of freedom and to work for the realisation of a shared future and justice for all. For example, had this been the case, the attempts to take advantage of the grey areas in the rules of court to summarily execute against the immovable property of indigent debtors, as was the case in Jaftha v Schoeman and Others and Gundwana v Steko Development and Others would have been avoided. In Jaftha the attempt to execute was for a debt that was so small and highly disproportionate to the value of the property which was the subject of the execution, it took Justice Mokgoro’s intervention in Jaftha to read into the Rules of Court language that ensures that the right of access to housing is not lightly interfered with. If you as the organised profession ensure that the constitutional principles are interwoven into the fabric of the makeup of the new generation of lawyers that you admit to the profession, you would have contributed immensely to the national democratic project. EXPRESSION OF THANKS TO THE GUEST SPEAKER Charmane Pillay moved a vote of thanks and appreciation to the Guest Speaker and presented Mr Kgalema Motlanthe with a gift as a token of the Society’s appreciation. REPORT ON THE LAW SOCIETY OF SOUTH AFRICA (LSSA) The Chairperson invited Mr Richard Scott, a member of the KZN Council and also a member of the Council for the Law Society of South Africa, to address the meeting on the activities of the LSSA. ADDRESS BY MR RICHARD SCOTT ON THE LAW SOCIETY OF SOUTH AFRICA (LSSA) The following is a summary of the address: Mr Richard Scott advised that he will address the meeting on the mid-term report by the Co-Chairpersons of the LSSA, as well as to give a PowerPoint presentation about the Professional Interest Body and the necessity for this to come into effect once the

AGM MINUTES - 8 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal Practice Act has come into full force and all the Provincial Law Societies and the Law Society of South Africa then cease to exist. As lawyers and professionals in this country there needs to be the voice of a legal profession going forward once that happens. Then lastly is the presentation of some Certificates from the Law Society of South Africa in recognition of the contribution of certain members of the Society to the Law Society of South Africa. Mr Scott referred to the mid-term report by the Co-Chairpersons, Mvuzo Notyesi and Jan van Rensburg advising that these two incoming Chairpersons in April of this year decided that two of the number of resolutions that were taken at the Law Society AGM in Johannesburg should be taken forward. These involved two action groups, one on the briefing patterns of black advocates and attorneys in the profession and the second on enhancing the role of women in the legal profession. The Legal Practice Act: the National Forum of the legal profession, which is the transitional body set in place, the new dispensation to advise the Minister in respect of the creation of the Legal Practice Council, has in fact met six times since it was set up in February 2015. The National Forum is grappling with rules for legal practitioners, who include the advocates, the staffing and costs relating to the future Legal Practice Council as well as where provincial councils and committees will be located in the new dispensation. Developments at the National Forum are communicated to practitioners regularly by the LSSA and are documented in the Legal Practice Act section on the LSSA website. There are eight representatives on the National Forum and the KZN representative is Manette Strauss. We have the four Sub-Committees of the National Forum which comprise Advocates as well as Attorneys, and are chaired by Attorneys. Jan Stemmet, chairs the Rules and Governance Sub-Committee, Lutendo Sigogo, chairs the Human Resources and Admit Sub-Committee, and Jan Maree, chairs the Education Sub-Committee. These committees meet on Saturdays, which is the day that Council say they are not busy. The LSSA has set up a task team that meets regularly with our representatives to mandate them and to sensitise them as to the thinking of the profession on various developments on the implementation process. The next very pertinent and quite a moving thing, was the Truth and Justice Award. One of the highlights of the term so far has been the institution by the LSSA of the Truth and Justice Award by the LSSA Council and the presentation of this inaugural award to the outgoing Public Protector Thuli Madonsela. This was done at a dinner which we hosted in Pretoria on 7 September 2016. The Truth and Justice Award recognises consistent and exceptional promotion of and/or work done in terms of the rule of law, access to justice, protection and promotion of the Constitution and good governance. In her address, Thuli thanked the LSSA for its support of the office of the Public Protector. She said:

AGM MINUTES - 9 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You have not been afraid as the LSSA to issue statements that we be allowed to pursue our mandate without fear or favour”.

She saw as her role model the attorney and freedom fighter, Priscilla Jana. She added that of all the awards presented to her the closest to her heart were the recognition from her peers in the legal field. There have also been activities in election observation and this pertains to the local government elections on 3 August 2016. The LSSA were part of an election observation initiative and the LSSA thanked all those Attorneys from KZN who served as election observers during those elections on 3 August 2016. They were the eyes and ears of the public and devoted a full day to observing and recording their findings. The LSSA’s report to the IEC is available in the “Our Initiative” section on the LSSA website. One of the more important things that we have been moving on is the briefing patterns. At the end of March 2016 and prior to the AGM, we hosted a summit on briefing patterns in the legal profession which was attended not only by practitioners from the attorneys and advocates branches, but also the Justice Department, representatives of State-owned enterprises, business and government departments, as well as other consumers of legal services. The focus of the summit was on finding solutions and devising a monitoring mechanism that will ensure that identified resolutions are implemented. In preparing for the summit, the LSSA sought to collate information on the distribution of legal work from government departments and SOEs as the largest consumers of legal services in the country. Summit attendees drafted resolutions which are now being taken forward by an action group on briefing patterns chaired by my former Co-Chair, Busani Mabunda, and includes Ishmail Semenya SC, Thandi Norman SC, Anthea Platt SC, Sam Mufamadi SC, Richard Scott, Mvuzo Notyesi and Deon Masha, as well as Varsha Sewlal from the Justice Department, the ex-Chief Master, in the Durban Master’s Office before she went to Pretoria. The task team is making considerable progress in the drafting of a protocol on the procurement of legal services and has undertaken research on this issue. The Director General of the Justice Department, Vusi Madonsela, attended the last meeting, and he joined the action group. There was a firm working commitment from him to co-operate. The Department of Justice is far ahead of any other consumer of legal services in this country. The action group is also engaging the judiciary on its views and experiences on the issue of briefing black lawyers. Turning to women in the profession another action group was set up dealing with issues affecting women in the profession. This action group is chaired by the LSSA councillor Mimie Memka, who is a practising attorney in Durban. This task team is considering the practicalities relating to employment equity and transformation plans, creating an enabling environment for tracking and monitoring young attorneys, as well as considering a gender charter and gender strategies that can serve as a practical guideline to the profession. It will also consider systems for the

AGM MINUTES - 10 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- implementation of these policies. The LSSA has hosted two sessions this year of the significant leadership training for women lawyers in Johannesburg and Durban, which were well received. Dealing with foreign relations, we have had diverse visits from various delegations from countries as far afield as Vietnam, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Nigeria. Our co-chairs have represented the LSSA at the International Bar Association, the National Bar Leaders meeting, SADC. The recent SADC Lawyers AGM was held in Cape Town, which we co-hosted with SADC. Then the IBA Conference in Washington DC, as well as the Pan African Lawyers Union Conference in Nairobi. Jan van Rensburg will represent the LSSA at the 20th Commonwealth Law Conference in Melbourne in Australia in April next year. The CEO, Nic Swart, will address the International Regulators Conference in Washington. We congratulate our representative on the IBA Council, Tsepo Shabangu from Johannesburg, who has been invited to join the IBA’s Policy Committee. This is the think tank of the IBA and its Bar Issues Commission and I can say I am amazed by this woman. I was at the IBA in Vienna last year and had the privilege of being with her and seeing how well-received she was and held in high esteem by other members of this very August Policy Committee of the IBA. She does us proud as our representative at the IBA. At the SADC Lawyers Association, LSSA councillor Max Boqwana was elected Vice-President of SADC. Insofar as the voice of the profession is concerned, what have we done to engage with stakeholders and to speak out on issues of public relevance? So far our co-chairpersons have issued press releases on issues such as the distress at the ongoing protests at our educational institutions. At our last Council meeting we resolved to offer mediation services by experienced attorney mediators to all parties involved in the education dispute in an effort to resolve the current impasse. We’ve expressed alarm at the developments at the SABC when journalists were prevented from reporting on newsworthy incidents and, of course, issues relating to censorship. We recently called for an investigation into the fitness of the SABC board to carry out its mandate in the public interest. We were shocked in July 2016 at the murder of the Kenyan Human Rights Lawyer Willie Kimani by members of the Kenyan National Police Service. In June 2016 we urged the government to ensure a climate for free and fair elections and, as indicated above, congratulated the IEC on the successful elections. We expressed shock at the social media utterances by Judge Mabel Jansen and asked the Judicial Service Commission to deal with allegations of racism against her expeditiously and transparently. We expressed grave concerns at views by President Zuma with regard to the courts and the judiciary. We continue to acknowledge and publicly support Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng and our judiciary for its independence and strong judgments made without fear or favour to anyone or any institution.

AGM MINUTES - 11 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have commented on various aspects of legislation and our committees have appeared before parliamentary portfolio committees to make oral submissions in respect of a number of bills. De Rebus celebrates its 60th anniversary as the attorneys’ journal this year. It has evolved from a simple photocopied newsletter to our flagship communication and educational tool. It is available to all practising attorneys and candidate attorneys in print and now online and an app format with a circulation of well over 24 000 people. Besides De Rebus, the LSSA continues to communicate to practitioners through The Legalbrief LSSA weekly every Friday morning and we thank Juta for its continued co-operation in this initiative. Legal Education, LEAD, strives to present relevant seminars and workshops on bread and butter topics, but also seeks to present innovative, forward-looking workshops such as the one on the end of legal practice as we know it, which focused on the disruption of legal practice by new technologies and the changing demands of consumers. eLearning is showing sufficient growth, with 379 practitioners having participated in training events online. Besides the workshops and seminars to date, 718 candidates attended the various centres of the School of Legal Practice and 2 002 have attended PLT courses. I say a word of thanks to practitioners, but maybe at this juncture to those who are not getting certificates, we wish to thank all practitioners, I say this as a member of the Management Committee of the LSSA, who strives to serve on the LSSA Council and Manco, as well as on the LSSA specialist committees. In addition, we thank the thousands of attorneys who have drafted free wills for members of the public during National Wills Week from 12 to 16 September 2016, as well as those who serve as Commissioners in the Small Claims Court and who continue to do pro bono work, whether recognised or unrecognised, in this way promoting access to justice for the poor and indigent members of our communities and enhancing the status of our profession. ADDRESS BY MR RICHARD SCOTT ON THE PUBLIC INTEREST BODY Richard Scott addressed the meeting on the Public Interest Body. He advised that the legal landscape as we know it is changing and urged that we move forward. On 1 February 2018, the legal profession in South Africa will enter a new era and will be regulated in terms of the Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014 through the Legal Practice Council, the LPC. All legal practitioners will be subject to the regulatory authority of the LPC. The purpose of the LPA, being the Legal Practice Act, is to create a single national statutory body. The legal landscape, then, is changing, we have the Legal Practice Act, which is a regulatory body, which will consist of a Legal Practice Council which will sit four times a year, and then there will be a number of provincial councils

AGM MINUTES - 12 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- which at this stage are estimated to be nine throughout the country. On the other side, we have the disappearance of the four Law Societies and the LSSA. The formation, therefore, of a broad-based Professional Interest Association is imperative. On the one side we have the Legal Practice Council, being the regulatory body with its Legal Practice Council, and then what do we have on the other side? We need a Professional Association to be a representative body of the legal profession. It must represent the interests of practitioners. It must position itself to promote the legal profession as the rule of law champion and protector and promoter of Constitutional rights. Implementation journey: the constituent members of the LSSA were consulted in 2015, which led, I’m glad to say, to a unanimous resolution this year to establish an independent Professional Association which will represent, add value to and speak on behalf of legal practitioners. But what is the roadmap in building such a representative body? Well, we know we have the regulatory body, the Legal Practice Council, and then there’s the Legal Practice Act, which has certain elements that relate to a representative body, but we know that the function of the LPA is to regulate the profession, it does not cater for those aspects of the profession which fall outside the Act. That is where we come in with a professional association. So, we look, firstly, at three aspects: the members, the organisation and the brand of such a professional body. We look at what are the guiding principles and the role of such a representative body. Firstly, we need to ensure our independence as a profession; we need to recognise the status, dignity, value and role of legal practitioners in creating a just society, promote high standards of practice, promote a culture of professional development, commit to a code of ethics, respect transformational imperatives, promote and protect constitutional values, strengthen regional and international engagement, respond dynamically to change and ensure best practice in governance. We must be sensitive to the members’ needs and sensitivities. We must look at perceptions and behaviours, engagement and consultation and what are the benefits and experiences. From an organisational design perspective we need to look at the vision and mission of such a body. What is the value proposition of this body? What is going to be done in respect of leadership and governance and what is the sustainability of such a body and the processes? And then there’s the branding of such a body, the means to identify and recognise this body; the positioning of the brand; the ideology building, the relationship, goodwill and the image and reputation of the body. One has to look at a value proposition, what is in it for you as the professional attorney or lawyer? Firstly, representation: having influence with regard to legal and other issues; speaking nationally and with a united voice; representing and promoting practitioners’ rights and the value of their work; identifying and serving their common

AGM MINUTES - 13 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- interest and ensuring liaison with the Legal Practice Council. To promote the promotion of a constructive powerful image, promotion of the value of services rendered by practitioners; providing affiliation at International, National and Regional levels; professional networking and liaison; Support in the providing of accessible and affordable professional education and development; providing practitioners with business and practice support; providing agency services for the profession; Ensuring research investigations and input to legislation. Looking at the brand: this brand must be an outward expression of an organised legal profession which is non-racial, non-sexist, democratic, representative, transparent and accountable to its members and the public whom it serves. This Association must be non-partisan and non-sectoral, with a transformational Agenda, not a political one. A new voice and face that can be showcased on a National and global stage, that demonstrates the ethos critical for the legitimacy of the profession, inspires a new set of guiding principles and motivations that will energise and engage prospective members, and provides foresight and impetus for the progress of the profession. Our destiny as a Profession will be determined by the significance of our leadership and bold action over the next decade. The future requires us to determine shared goals, we must find common ground, we must be public and people-centred. The first step is that we need to have ongoing information sharing and consultation with our members in the profession. So, there is an awareness campaign of what we are about. At the level of a task team which I chair in this particular instance, we meet once a month. Phase 1 will be looking at member needs assessments and you will be consulted; Phase 2 will be an interactive awareness campaign and we will inform you of these; Phase 3 will be the brand validation process, which already we are looking at particular branding of the profession, and we will build a new home for the profession together and then there will, of course, be a brand launch. We have already developed a working paper for the establishment of this Association which has been distributed to the various law societies for consideration and comment, and we are also right now in the process of drafting the Constitution of this professional body. Mr Richard Scott addressed members of the profession, to use a hackneyed old phrase: this is a no-brainer, if we want the legal profession to go forward outside of a regulatory body, we need this organisation, we need this body, we need all of us sitting here who are in the profession to be members of this and speak with one voice, we cannot be divisive going forward. And if we want to be seen as a voice and guardians of the rule of law, we need it if we appear before the courts, to show that we are a Professional body that must be taken note of and that we are looking after the interests of the public. He urged members to note that this particular presentation will serve on the website and there will be updates and further documentation, there will be discussions and roadshows by members of the task team which will possibly piggyback on those of

AGM MINUTES - 14 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the National Forum dealing with the LPA. So, there’s a lot of work ahead and we can assure you with your encouragement and support we can certainly get this off the ground and hopefully have an Association in place by early next year to carry forward.

on the SADAC Lawyers’ Association Susan Abro Saloshna Moodley David Randles REPORT ON THE ATTORNEYS FIDELITY FUND (AFF) The Chairperson invited Mr Ebi Moolla to report on the activities on behalf of the Board of Control of the Attorneys Fidelity Fund. ADDRESS BY EBI MOOLLA ON THE ATTORNEYS FIDELITY FUND The following is a summary of the address: Mr Moolla presented the Report of the Chairperson of the Attorneys Fidelity Fund. Mr Moolla, in his address stated that the Chairperson of the Attorneys Fidelity Fund, Ms Muke Kheswa, was unfortunately not able to be present because she had other competing obligations which she has had to attend to, and he read her report. The Fund was set up in terms of the Act and its primary objective is to provide compensation to members of the public against misappropriation of trust funds by

AGM MINUTES - 15 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- practitioners. The fund has also by way of Resolution adopted a secondary objective and that is the provision of indemnity insurance to all practitioners in the country to ensure that in the event of conduct that leaves a member of the public out of pocket as a result of the conduct of a practitioner other than theft, such a member is compensated. The Fund also plays a further important supporting role in that it funds the regulatory as well as the educational activities of the regulators in the country, that is, the Law Societies by way of payment in respect of the collection of interest. This function that the Fund fulfills involves a lot of discretionary funding, depending on the suitability of such activities as well as the affordability on the part of the Fund. The continuation of these functions and objectives of the Fund is in similar vein contained in the Legal Practice Act. We should talk about that, albeit again in many ways on a discretionary basis, except for an annual appropriation to be made to the Council, that is the Legal Practice Council in terms of section 22 of the Act. Moving onto further highlights: the Fund is currently valued at an amount of R4.45-billion, which on the face of it is huge, but when looked at against the backdrop of its annual spending on its core activities as well as on the profession, the opposite is true. Mr Moolla pointed out in passing that the current legislation provides that the liability of the Fund is unlimited. So, in the rare event that we might get a claim for a billion or 2-billion, the Fund would be liable for that if that claim is proved. Fortunately there are various mechanisms by which that is currently contained and that is through re-insurance; but that only covers up to a certain amount. More importantly, the government has accepted a proposed amendment to the Act in terms of which the liability of the Fund in respect of any claim will be limited to R500 000. This will not operate significantly against the public interest, because our stats show that by far the vast majority of claims fall under 500 000. So, that will cap the liability but then also not prejudice the public unduly. Implications of the Legal Practice Act: the Act has brought certain fundamental changes in the regulatory environment of the practitioner as we currently know it. The current environment, not only the law societies have the power to carry out functions like inspections, our books and the accounting records, Applications for the Appointment of Curators, as well as the initiating prosecutors; going into the future the Fund will have that power also. Professional indemnity cover: It is important to point out that, in respect of Professional Indemnity Insurance, there is going to be a fundamental transformation in the way that facilities provide to the profession. At the moment there are two major provisions and that is, one: cover per practitioner per firm, which is the primary cover, and that is the most expensive cover. All of you probably have top-up cover, which is relatively cheap. The reason that cover is cheap is that that top-up cover is actuarially premised on accepting only 2% of the risk to the profession, the 98% of the risk to the profession is in the first level cover which is covered by the Professional Indemnity Insurance Fund.

AGM MINUTES - 16 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That model is going to change going into the future because it’s becoming unsustainable: from a few million rands a decade ago, the current premium, just the premium that the Attorneys Fidelity Fund has paid to the AIIF, was about 170-million just for the last year. And that is not the only expense of the AIIF: their other expenses are funded from their own investment portfolio. Going to the future, practitioners will be required to make a contribution for that facility. In addition, one of the major benefits that the AIIF provides is also the executor bond scheme which, but for the AIIF, would not be available to the vast majority of practitioners. Lastly, compliance support programme: the Fund continues to provide support to newly- opened practices to assist them with ensuring that they comply with their compliance obligations in terms of the law insofar as these are defined and prescribed by the Law Societies. The KZN and Free State Law Societies have embraced this programme which we hope will be of fruit, particularly for young practitioners. For instance, practitioners will be supported for a period of two years and when he or she leaves the programme after this period, he or she would be expected to know what is expected in terms of their compliance and obligations. Lastly, to quote the Chairperson’s words: personally I would like to extend - that’s not me, the Chairperson - the support and encouragement received from the colleagues in the last two years as the Chairperson of the Fund, it has not been an easy fit at times, but the experience gained, I would never change that for anything in the world. I am much richer professionally than I was when I took over and this I will cherish forever. I sincerely hope that I have not let the womenfolk down during my tenure; I trust the Fund will in the near future appoint another female Chairperson. Finally, I wish you a successful Annual General Meeting as you deliberate on the past and the future of our noble profession. REPORT ON THE ATTORNEYS INSURANCE INDEMNITY FUND The President called on Mr Thomas Harban, General Manager of the AIIF to address the meeting on the activities of the AIIF. ADDRESS BY MR THOMAS HARBAN ON THE ATTORNEYS INSURANCE INDEMNITY FUND (AIIF) The following is a summary of the address: Mr Harban highlighted three issues: (1) The issue of sustainability that Mr Moolla has touched on. The reality is that as

we stand here today, we sit with the contingent position of over R400-million in claims. This is for a company that has under R700-million in assets. And as our actuary always puts it: each year we are taking on just over R100-million in claims and dropping off more than 20-million. So, on a nett position every year

AGM MINUTES - 17 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

we are R80-million worse off than we were the year before. That, I think everybody would understand, will make us unsustainable, firstly.

(2) Secondly, as an Insurance company we operate in a regulated environment.

The Financial Services Board is busy with the rollout of the solvency assessment and management regime, (SAM). There are certain minimum prescribed levels of solvency. Though, as stated, as things currently stand we are above the minimum required solvency levels, the reality is that the current position cannot continue. Mr Moolla has mentioned, going forward we need to relook at the funding model. The reality is that practitioners will be called on to make a contribution, there will be discussions through the Fund with the Law Societies.

And the reasons for that, which I’ll deal with briefly, are (1) our liability in respect

of professional indemnity claims. These R400-million that we have in claims could in the vast majority of cases be avoided. Claims arise, and the reasons are stated in the report, but if you look at them, there are very narrow instances where there’s a breach of mandate, there are instances where there’s negligence. But the reality here, and I choose my words carefully, is that in many instances practitioners are just reckless, blatantly reckless.

You know, if we have a situation where a practitioner can tell one of our legal

advisors proudly that she’s regarded as the worst attorney in her town, you know that there’s something horribly wrong with it. And in many instances, if you were to ask attorneys when we do post mortems on claims, what went wrong, the answer is always this, “I didn’t know”. You cannot run a business, you can’t run particularly a professional practice if you don’t know what’s happening in the very service that the members of the public are paying you to render.

(3) The other issue, as Mr Moolla had also mentioned is in respect of the executor

bonds. We provide the service free of charge to the profession. Our current exposure there is over R10-billion. That’s more than the entire value of the Fidelity Fund and the AIIF combined. And the reason for the growth in that exposure since 1998 is simple: practitioners are not telling us when the administration of an estate has been finalised and when they have received a release from the Master. Up until we receive that we cannot close it, it needs to show as an exposure on our books, which we report to the FSB and to our re-insurers. There is very limited appetite and capacity to write that type of business in South Africa. So, also in respect of executor bonds, we need to relook at that and practitioners will be called upon to pay for those bonds of security that are granted. We have taken this up with the Chief Master and the Chief Master has granted us accreditation to charge for it.

I would like to thank the KwaZulu-Natal Law Society because the Master’s Sub-

Committee was the first to invite our team to a meeting with the Master’s team where a lot of the issues and a lot of the challenges that we are facing were addressed.

AGM MINUTES - 18 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We need to implement some risk management policies and I am always surprised in addressing practitioners in smaller groups that people do not regard risk management, measures to avoid or mitigate claims, as something important. Any business needs to have some sort of risk management interventions. We have a huge section on that on our website as very practical guidelines and I will urge practitioners to please look at that. ATTORNEYS DEVELOPMENT FUND (ADF): The Chairperson invited the Managing Director of the Attorneys Development Fund (ADF), Mr MacKenzie Mukansi to address the Meeting. ADDRESS BY MR MUKANSI ON THE ATTORNEYS DEVELOPMENT FUND (ADF) The following is a summary of the address: Mr Mukansi, in his address, pointed out a very serious typo on the brochure pack of the Attorneys Development Fund. Where it relates to interest and repayment, please ignore that completely. The repayment process is three years, but this is an interest-free loan. Please note that, it is very important. The second thing that I would like to address is in relation to the offering over and above what is listed there. One of the Councillors, Mr McLachlan, has been very instrumental in ensuring that we have value propositions that we had sort of improved in as far as the grantable portion of our loan. Remember, the portion is two-pronged, the one side your infrastructure, computers and furniture, is repaid, no interest added to that, and then there’s the grantable portion of the loan, very important. These are, I do not like to say free, but these are grants, things that we pay on your behalf for the betterment of your firm. I am proud to state that, if you can look at the report that has been tabled, we have got Sabinet on board, Juta Law and of late I think SAFLII that will be giving. I hope with that information there will be a little bit of a change in how the Fund is perceived, please engage with us. If there is something that you require that is not listed on the brochure, make propositions. We will be able to, as we say, our value proposition is a live one that changes in as far as what your requirements are. It is not rigid, it is your company: tell us what you require and then we will add that to our value proposition if it is something that will be of value to yourselves. PLENARY SESSION CONSTITUTION OF THE MEETING The President confirmed the attendance of more than 50 members, constituting a quorum, and therefore declared the Meeting properly constituted.

MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The Minutes of the previous Meeting, held on 16 October 2015, which were posted to members on 26 August 2016, were unanimously ADOPTED on proposal by Mr Gavin McLachlan, seconded by Mr Richard Scott. PRESENTATION OF AWARDS: LIFE MEMBERSHIP AWARDS Mr Umesh Jivan presented Life Membership awards to the following persons who have been in practice for 50 years and still practising: Life Membership Awards for Fifty Years: (i) Mr Barry Kruger, who was admitted on 3 September 1964. (Mr Kruger was unable to attend the meeting). (ii) Mr Gerald Graham Burne, who was admitted on 26 January 1966.

Mr Burne, in his address, advised that it was a very sentimental moment for him. He is part of a legal family where three generations of Burnes have been members of the Law Society. The first Burne was Admitted on 1 July

AGM MINUTES - 21 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1880, William Burne, he was by far the most famous of all the Burne lawyers, he was Vice-President of this Law Society on one occasion, he was a dual practitioner and he became an Advocate and he was the first President of the Society of Advocates in Natal and he practised as an Attorney from 1880 to 1938, which makes fifty-eight years. So, the most famous of the lot. The next generation was his grandfather and his brother, they were admitted in 1908 and started the name Burne and Burne in 1912. He still practices with his son under the name of Burne and Burne. His great uncle died in his fiftieth year as a member of the Law Society, his grandfather died somewhat before that. The next generation after that were his father and his brother. The brother unfortunately died fairly early and his father also died in the 50th year, so he didn’t make fifty years either. The next generation down is his cousin Warren, who is the son of his uncle. He has got another six years to go before he gets his forty year award. His great uncle, became Judge Burne. Down from him comes his son Garth. Garth and he are in practice at the moment and he is glad he has joined the noble profession; there was no pushing or inducement for him to become a member. Garth has one child and he only has one grandchild. He waited seventy-five years for it, so she is very special and when she was born he arranged for a picture to be taken of her in her cot with a book next to her The Principles of South African Law. It is just a nudge in the right direction.

(iii) Mr Edgar Bernhard Rohrs, who was admitted on 4 March 1966. (iv) Mr Ramdev Ramasar, who was admitted on 22 April 1966.

Mr Ramasar expressed his deep and sincere gratitude and appreciation for this honour of the Life Membership Award. He highlighted what he think when he joined the so-called University of Natal, and he want to emphasise, it was then known as the Non-European Section, it was at the rear of the Sastri College. We had some dilapidated buildings; there was a common room, an admin building and a library. From Sastri College we were then shoved to Lances Road, a factory that was converted into classrooms and there was a library, lecture rooms, common room and SRC office. We accepted third rate facilities because we realised that education was paramount. It was important that we get that, notwithstanding what is happening today. There were other impediments that were placed, possibly consciously, deliberately, if you had wanted to do law you had to, being a black

AGM MINUTES - 22 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

student you had to do anthropology in your additional degree, your BA degree, and you had to do Latin 1, whereas the students at Howard College were not allowed to do anthropology, they were not allowed to do Latin 1, but they had special Latin. Our SRC, the Non-European Section SRC, fought and we were able to get special Latin, as our colleagues at Howard College. We were not allowed at Howard College, neither were we allowed at City Buildings. City Buildings was for part-time students, white students, we were not even allowed there. But again we were not even allowed to attend the graduation ceremonies. Lots of people will know that we objected, we boycotted the graduation ceremony. This resulted in the University authorities relenting and accepting a non-racial graduation ceremony. I have practised, I have many candidate attorneys that went through the office, and they have also been very successful. I have also enjoyed my stint with Durban and Coast Branch, NADEL. We had lots of skirmishes with my friend and colleague Raj, and relative. But we enjoyed those days, we used to go out and have dinner together. Mostly I practised as a criminal lawyer and I recall one incident where I was defending an accused on a charge of murder and his defence was an alibi. I was cross-examining this State witness about whether he actually saw my client at the scene of the crime. He says, “Yes, I saw him.” I asked him to describe whether he had any – his physical features, his unique features, his clothing; he was unable to do so. I had to try to badger him to get an answer from him, but unfortunately he was extremely stubborn. The prosecutor then stood up and said, “Your Worship, Mr Ramasar is wasting his time, he is being repetitive,” and the Magistrate looked, he says, “Yes”. So, I responded, I said, “Your Worship, I thought I had enough latitude in cross-examination”. The Magistrate said, “Look, I don’t mind your latitude, but what’s worrying me is your longitude”.

(v) Mr Adrian Willis King, who was admitted on 15 June 1966.

Mr King, in his address, stated that having practised law for fifty years in Natal had been a real pleasure and he thanked all his colleagues for the enjoyment they have given him in the good times and for helping him in hard times. One of the previous speakers referred to the qualification in Latin and I had forgotten all about that. I have also forgotten all my Latin, because I went to a school where you started Latin in Standard 3, so by the time you left you were quite proficient, especially the standard that was required for law. I cannot remember any of my Latin, except a very important saying, and I think it is still used these days, but it goes with a rhyme and that is why I can remember it:

AGM MINUTES - 29 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRESIDENT’S REPORT The President handed over the chair to Ms Charmane Pillay in order to deal with his Report or any discussion on the Report. The President read his Report for the period 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 as set out from pages 24 to 42. Ms Charmane Pillay, who was chairing the meeting during this item, declared the report open for discussion. There was no discussion and the President’s report was ADOPTED on the proposal of Mr Praveen Sham, seconded by Mr Umesh Jivan. Ms Charmane Pillay handed the chair back to the President. ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Mr Asif Essa, Chairperson of the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee, reported on the financial performance and financial position of the Society for the period 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 and in so doing presented the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 which were unqualified. The following are the salient points reported by Mr Essa: Following a provision for doubtful debts that was raised in the year ending 30 June 2015, the Society wrote off R426 857 in the year ending 30 June 2016. Due to low recovery rate on long outstanding debts on both trade receivable and enquiry debtors, the Society will continue to have a high provision for doubtful debts. This is in line with the financial reporting requirement that at the end of every financial year the Society is required to assess the recoverability of its debtors and based on that assessment, make a provision for doubtful debts. It is to be noted that the Society will continue to attempt to recover all outstanding debts. In terms of financial performance, the Society realised a surplus primarily as a result of curtailed expenditure assisted by improved income from investments, but significantly as a result of agency fees on trust interest collected and AFF contribution towards operation of the library, which is now a National resource. The statement of the financial position: the balance sheet of the Society reflects that the Society’s current liabilities are adequately covered by its current assets, having particular regard to cash and investment holding against trade and other payables. Trade receivables and enquiry debtors will, of course, continue to be a focus area on the basis referred to above.

AGM MINUTES - 30 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income: the agency fee, which is a fee earned on the collection of trust interest to be paid over to the Fidelity Fund is a major source of the Society’s income comprising 49% of the Society’s total income for the year under review. Changes in the interest rates have a direct effect on the agency fee. The Attorneys Fidelity Fund is continuously reviewing its business development strategy to address the issue of the maximisation of trust interest and minimisation of bank charges. Income from investments shows an increase as a result of the broadening of the Society’s investment mandate to include investment in equity in addition to cash investment with banking institutions. The Society has taken a reasonably conservative approach by ensuring that the majority of the managed portfolio is invested in cash. Subscription fees is the second major source of income and despite ongoing attempts to recover subscriptions and the offer to members to have these paid in instalments, the recovery of subscriptions remains an area of concern, so much so that the Council resolved to hand over long outstanding fees. Members are reminded that the Society is required to pay capitation levies to the Law Society of South Africa, irrespective of whether or not members pay their subscription fees to the provincial Law Society. The non-payment of fees, therefore, has a double impact on the Society’s finances. As reported in previous years, we cannot afford not to increase subscriptions annually. It is therefore our proposal that subscriptions be increased by an amount of R200 for practising members and R450 for non-practising members, having regard to the increase in costs, the levies paid in the recent past on behalf of members and the relatively low rate levied against our members as compared to other professions. I was at the meeting earlier this week with the Attorneys Insurance Indemnity Fund and you heard from Thomas earlier on today. I was told that obstetricians pay insurance, professional indemnity insurance of some R65 000 per month. I do not know whether that figure is correct, but quite frankly it is an astounding amount and unfortunately for the legal profession, as you heard previously, it cannot be sustained, the model that we have at present, and that is going to change. So, as far as subscriptions are concerned, unfortunately that will also have an impact and, as you can see already, the Society is facing huge challenges with regards to collection of subscriptions. Expenditure: the Policy adopted on expenditure remains the same as in previous years. The operating budget is based on a consideration of the previous year’s expenses with an allowance made for increased costs. Management continue to apply strict controls on expenditure. Being a service-oriented entity, employee cost is our major expenditure. During the year we engaged the service of an independent consultant to review employee salaries, which resulted in significant adjustments for some employees. We also had to beef up our human resource to ensure that we are able to deliver on our statutory obligations.

AGM MINUTES - 31 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The library continues to be one of the major items of expenditure and is a matter considered by the Council annually. It is the Council’s view that the benefit to our members is worth the expenditure. We are also pleased to mention that the Attorneys Fidelity Fund subvents 2.16-million towards our library costs annually and for that we are grateful. This contribution is in light of the library being a national resource for all members of the Attorneys’ profession. We therefore encourage our members to make use of the facilities in the library, which now enjoy the full suite of electronic publications published by LexisNexis, Juta and Sabinet. The more our members make use of the library facilities, the more the expenditure is justified. Our Durban library has a Conference Centre which is primarily available for the benefit of our members and again we encourage you to make use of the facilities, which include all the up to date audio-visual equipment one can imagine. The conference centre is situated close to the High Court and the Labour Court and is accessible for arbitrations. I am pleased to report that the operational and administrative expenses were well within the budget for the period under review and almost in line with the 2015 expenditure, despite the increasing costs. As far as the budget for 2016/2017 is concerned, the Council has approved the budget as proposed by the Finance Committee. The said budget anticipates a deficit of about 5.7-million. Income: it must be noted that the income budget has been proposed conservatively, given the current economic conditions and the fact that the interest rates are likely to remain the same in the near future. Subscriptions: Council approved a R200 increase for practising members and R450 for non-practising members. The effect of such increase is as follows: practising members from R2 1060 to R2 360, exclusive of VAT. Non-practising members: R1 490 to R1 940, exclusive of VAT. The collection of annual subscriptions remains a problem for the Society, as mentioned, and action will be taken on arrear subscriptions, which will result in unnecessary legal costs being incurred. So we appeal to members to make good on their arrear subscriptions as well as pay the current subscriptions timeously and, if necessary, make a formal arrangement with the Society to have these paid in instalments. To this end, members may write to the financial manager with their proposed payment arrangement. Expenditure: as with the income, a conservative approach has been applied to expenditure, significant steps will continue to be undertaken to curtail costs and controls have been instituted to ensure that the expenditure is in accordance with the budget and is necessary.

AGM MINUTES - 32 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adoption of Annual Financial Statements The Chairperson of the Finance Committee proposed the ADOPTION of the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016, which was seconded by Matodzi Neluheni. There was no discussion and the Annual Financial Statements were ADOPTED. Approval of Auditor’s Remuneration The Chairperson of the Finance Committee proposed the PAYMENT of the Auditor's remuneration in an amount of R107 000 plus VAT to Mitchell's Chartered Accountant, which was seconded by Matodzi Neluheni. There was no discussion and the Auditor’s remuneration was APPROVED. Appointment of Auditors The Chairperson of the Finance Committee proposed the APPOINTMENT of auditors for the 2016/2017 financial year as follows: (1) Mitchell's Incorporated for the auditing of the auditing of the business books of

account; and (2) Roshan Morar and Associates for auditing the trust interest and curator books of

account and to report to the Attorneys Fidelity Fund. The proposal was seconded by Matodzi Neluheni. There was no discussion and the proposal was ADOPTED. Increase in Subscriptions The Chairperson of the Finance Committee proposed an INCREASE in the subscriptions for the 2016/2017 year for all members, seconded by Matodzi Neluheni.

CURRENT Proposal at AGM for Approval AREA VAT Exc VAT Inc VAT Exc VAT Inc Durban/PMB R2 160.00 R2 462.40 R2 360.00 R2 690.40 Country R2 160.00 R2 462.40 R2 360.00 R2 690.40 Declared R1 490.00 R1 698.60 R1 940.00 R2 211.60

There was no discussion and the proposed increase was APPROVED.

AGM MINUTES - 33 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr Asif Essa thanked the co-chairperson of the Finance Committee, Mr Praveen Sham. This is the first year we have had a Co-Chairperson, so Praveen and I have been sharing responsibilities. In addition to that, without Mr Thanda Zondi, the finances of this Society would not be in the state that they are. Finally, to Mr Gavin John and the team at the Law Society, thank you very much for your assistance, and to my fellow Councillors, the President and the Finance Committee. CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL BUSINESS MEMBER’S MOTION There was no special business submitted by members. LUCKY DRAWS The President thanked the following sponsors for the prizes for the lucky draws:

LexisNexis Juta Korbitec PPS ABSA FNB Samsung Legal Interact

GENERAL Mr Essa, on behalf of the other members of this Council, thanked the President for his leadership of distinction in the last year. The President often had to deal with matters that had sensitivities; there were crucial decisions that had to be made. He always made time available for fellow Councillors. The Management met with him regularly and it would be fitting to commend the President on his leadership in the last year. On behalf of Council, your fellow Councillors, he thanked the President and expressed gratitude for his leadership for the last year.

AGM MINUTES - 34 - 14 OCTOBER 2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chairperson thanked Mr Essa, who was talking on behalf of other Councillors. He advised that he is humbled by the statements. If it was not for you, colleagues, I was not going to succeed as well. A special thanks also goes to all of you for your support as well, thank you very much, colleagues. CLOSURE In announcing the closure, the President thanked the members and invited them for a finger lunch and drinks after the meeting.
