, Question 1

Mr Nkosi, a retired attorney, owns a residential property in Pretoria. The Pienaars, own
the house next to Mr Nkosi’s house. Mr Nkosi has a beautiful garden with very big
Jacaranda trees. Although the Pienaars adore the trees, the branches are overhanging
on their property. During the Spring season, hundreds of purple flowers end up falling
on their lawn to make it look untidy. In summer the branches prevent their lawn from
getting enough sunlight. There is also a very big Marula tree in the garden of the
Pienaars. A few months ago, they considered removing the Marula tree, but Mr Nkosi
informed them that the Marula tree is a protected tree species in terms of section 15(3)
of the National Forest Act 84 of 1998 which means that they are not allowed to remove
the tree without a licence granted by the Minister of Environment, Forestry and
Fisheries.


The Pienaars do not want to upset Mr Nkosi, because they know that he is fond of his
Jacaranda trees. A friend of the Pienaars, Lora, told them that since Mr Nkosi owns
the property the trees also belong to him and, therefore, he can do with the trees and
the property as he wishes. Against this background, answer the following questions:


1.1 Evaluate the correctness of Lora’s opinion that Mr Nkosi should be allowed to do
as he pleases since the property belongs to him. [6]
[Your answer should not exceed 10 lines.]



1.2 Advise the Pienaars about their legal position and options regarding the flowers
and the overhanging branches of the Jacaranda trees. [8]
[Your answer should not exceed 16 lines.]


1.3 The Pienaars feel aggrieved about the provision regarding the removal of the
Marula tree. They went to their computer and asked ChatGPT for legal advice on
the matter and the answer that was created indicated that the provision in terms
of the National Forest Act 84 of 1998 could possibly contravene their right to
property in terms of section 25(1) of the Constitution, 1996. Briefly explain to
them how a court could possibly approach the Constitutionality of the provision.
