Access to Justice, one community at a time

At PH Attorneys, we believe that the law should be a tool for empowerment, not a privilege limited to a few. That belief is at the heart of our firm's values and our latest initiative: the launch of a new Access to Justice Unit with the first Justice Centre in Kathu, opening on 1 August 2025, in partnership with Training Portal.

This Justice Centre will provide free legal advice to members of the Kathu community through the Kathu Justice Centre powered by our Access to Justice Unit, offering support across a range of legal areas, including civil disputes, family matters, criminal matters, debt counselling, labour issues, and more. The service will be delivered virtually by our Legal Advice Officer, Nigel Masalla, to a dedicated Justice Booth located at the Justice Centre in Training Portal’s Kathu Community Campus.

The opening of the Justice Centre comes at a time when access to quality legal support remains a challenge for many South Africans, particularly in smaller or remote communities. By establishing this initiative in Kathu, we aim to close some of that gap, one consultation at a time.

“We believe that access to justice is a cornerstone of an empowered society, and it is part of the legal fraternity’s responsibility to improve such access. We believe the Justice Centre in Kathu and our support thereof will show our firm’s commitment to growing such access and empowering the community of Kathu.”
— Lesley Mokgoro, CEO of PH Attorneys.

The Access to Justice Unit and the Justice Centre are more than a service point; they reflect our belief that the role of legal professionals extends beyond the boardroom and the courtroom and into the communities where legal support can change lives.

Stay tuned for more information on how the Justice Centre will operate, the areas of legal advice available, and how members of the Kathu community can book a free, virtual consultation.

As the worlds of artists, social media influencers, celebrities, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) continue to converge, iconic catchphrases are increasingly more than personality markers; they are evolving into valuable commercial assets. In an era where online identity holds substantial economic weight, the way catchphrases can be protected and commercialised is becoming both complex and crucial. Locally, expressions such as “Hello my Hunnays” by Kayla Kim Kay and “Molweni julle” by Anika Dambuza (also known as The City Makoti) have grown into instantly recognisable phrases among South African and international audiences.

The world is smaller than ever – South African families increasingly own property in Portugal, hold shares in the US, or have children studying in London. Yet while your life may be global, the law remains stubbornly local. This article explains why a single South African will is often insufficient for offshore assets – and how to avoid the pitfalls of forced heirship, delays, and double taxation.
