EXAMINATION QUESTIONS:
Question 1 [54 Marks; ±120 Minutes]
Unathi owns a smallholding in KwaZulu Natal. Her property is adjacent to Luyo’s smallholding,
where he operates a nursery specialising in different Agapanthus flower bulb varieties. Unathi and
Luyo have been neighbours for many years and have a good relationship. Upon negotiation
between Unathi and Luyo, and after consulting with her attorney, Unathi decides to grant a limited
real right over a portion of her property in favour of Luyo’s property to allow him access to a
natural water source located on her land. The idea is to give Luyo the right to access the water
source for irrigation of his bulb beds.
Unathi replaced an existing wire fence on her property with a brick wall, in the bona fide belief
that the fence denoted the true boundary between the two properties. The wall has a small gate
which enables Luyo to enter Unathi’s property in terms of the limited real right.
Subsequently, Unathi ordered a construction company to build an additional garage on her property.
While the building of the garage and the brick wall was in process, Luyo was in the Bahamas for
a few months to visit his sister. While he was away, he left his nursery manager in charge. Upon
his return home, he realised that a section of Unathi’s additional garage building was built on his
property.
Although he consulted with his attorney about his options, he decides to sell his property and to
start a new nursery elsewhere. With the help of an estate agent, he finds a buyer very quickly and
the property is transferred to the new owner (Sandra). The estate agent accidentally omitted to

requested her to remove the flowers, Sandra refused.
Against this background, answer the following questions:
