About

LegalAdvice.org.za is a well-researched South African legal website created to make the law easier to understand for ordinary citizens. We know that legal language can be intimidating, and many South Africans cannot always afford professional help when they just want answers. That is why we offer free legal information and guidance, written in clear and simple English.

Our articles cover the most common legal questions that affect families, workers, and communities — from child maintenance and divorce to labour rights, UIF claims, and protection orders. Every guide is prepared with care, backed by legislation, case law, and official resources.

To make sure the content is accurate, our pages are regularly checked and corrected by legal experts who practise in South Africa. This way, you can be confident that what you are reading reflects the latest position of the law.

We are not a law firm, and our content is not a substitute for professional advice. Instead, LegalAdvice.org.za is a trusted educational resource, built to give South Africans the confidence to understand their rights before they speak to a lawyer or appear in court.

Our goal is simple: to ensure that no citizen feels lost in the legal system. Whether you are a parent going through a custody battle, an employee worried about UIF, or someone seeking protection from abuse, this site gives you the knowledge you need to take the next step.
