QUESTION 3
Javier purchases a farm from Johanna and pays the purchase price in cash. However, on the
date when Javier is to take occupation he finds Majavula in occupation of the farm. Majavula tells
Javier that although his lease of a ten-year period with Johanna already expired three years ago,
he remained in occupation of the farm and Johanna accepted R50 000 and a third of his crop
yield at the end of each year, as payment for occupation. Javier insists that Majavula must
immediately vacate the farm, but Majavula refuses to do so and alleges that he (Majavula) still
has a valid lease with Johanna. Majavula effected the following improvements to the farm without
Johanna’s knowledge: he built a dam, erected a lapa, repaired an existing fence on the farm and
he planted maize which still has to be harvested. Majavula has also sublet a small portion of the
farm without Johanna’s knowledge.
3.1 Discuss whether there is a valid lease agreement between Majavula and Johanna, and what
the implications would be for Javier. (10)
