the past year been at the forefront of a community-led movement seeking to

authoritative sources of law from an administrative law perspective could she
rely on. [7]

before approaching a court of law has been justified? [4]

the cancellation of the CSG, what remedy is available to Mrs Kolosi if she is not
satisfied with the lack of reasons provided by the Director-General? Answer the
preceding question in terms of the relevant provision(s) of PAJA. [7]
10. Mrs Kolosi is dissatisfied with the Director-General’s decision, and she
wants to know if she can challenge it. List the ways in which the legal force of
