It’s About More Than Just Us

Since its establishment in 1932, VDT Attorneys Inc. has developed many relationships in the professional, legal and transformative realms of its surroundings. We have grown to be a firm known for high expertise and advanced work ethic.

Looking after our clients by providing tailor-made solutions to their matters remains a priority but we do not neglect our responsibility to the larger community. As a firm, we are annual facilitators of the VDT/Beeld Children’s Fund Golf Day. More than sharing in the pleasantries of swinging a few clubs and drivers, we raise funds and proceeds go to the Beeld Children’s Fund. The Fund aims to develop children from an early age to break the cycle of poverty and increase welfare.

Over the past 12 years to this commitment, we have donated over R1.7 million, which has been utilised for the basic and therapeutic needs of many homeless, orphaned and disabled children.

Additionally, we have identified, and continue to identify, proficient individuals from previously disadvantaged communities to develop and gain field-related work experience and academic education through career planning, training, and bursary schemes.

Mary was over the moon when she heard that she had received the position and could not wait to start her new job. Into her second week however, she became aware of her supervisor taking a special interest in her. She tried to ignore this, but the interest became more overt, unwelcome and threatening, despite her attempts to politely rebuff his advances and eventually directly informing him that she was not interested. After noticing the supervisor in the vicinity of her home, she reported the conduct to a senior manager, but no action was taken. The situation steadily deteriorated until Mary felt so afraid of her supervisor that she felt she had no choice but to resign.

The safety and security aspects of sectional title living

With concerns for the safety of one’s person and property increasing, there has been a movement towards expanding communities in the form of sectional title complexes, duet and cluster housing. People moving into sectional title units are willing to sacrifice space and privacy in exchange for improved safety, security and a sense of community that comes with sectional title living.
