QUESTION 1
To determine whether Karen's statement that she owns the Mercedes and the townhouse is
correct, it is essential to analyze the situation according to South African property law principles.
1. Ownership of the Townhouse (Immovable Property)
Under South African law, ownership of immovable property, such as a townhouse, is not
transferred by mere physical possession or the handing over of keys. Instead, ownership is
transferred through a formal process of registration in the Deeds Office. According to Section 16 of
the Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937, ownership of land can only pass upon registration of the
property in the name of the transferee (Study Guide, p. 67).
In the given facts, Lerato is the registered owner of the townhouse, and there is no indication that
she took any steps to transfer the property to Karen. The mere act of handing over the keys to the
townhouse does not constitute a legal transfer of ownership. Therefore, Karen's claim to own the
townhouse is legally incorrect. Lerato remains the lawful owner until the property is registered in
Karen's name through the appropriate legal process (Study Guide, p. 67).
