QUESTION 4
Mandla is a general dealer. He needs to appoint a sales person and to replace his
delivery van with a bigger vehicle. If Mandla finds a buyer for the van and a suitable
sales person he will conclude two contracts: a contract of sale in respect of the old
vehicle and a contract of employment with the suitable applicant.
Which ONE of the following persons does NOT have the full capacity to conclude
both of the contracts with Mandla?
1. Gloria, seventeen years old, who has been married to Dan for the last two
years. They are married out of community of property.
2. Steven, whose estate was sequestrated after he lost a fortune in a shady
business deal. Steven has not been rehabilitated yet. 2 is CORRECT.
3. Arthur, who is married in community of property to Stella.

immigrated to America because he had his own job and flat.

Steven, as an unrehabilitated insolvent may not take up employment with a general
dealer without the consent of his curator. Mandla is a general dealer. Steven will
need the consent of his curator to enter into the contract of sale because the
purchase of the van may have a negative effect on the insolvent estate. Steven can
therefore not conclude either of the contracts independently.
