QUESTION 1 IDENTIFY ONE PERSON IN THE ABOVE SET OF FACTS THAT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A “LAWFUL HOLDER”. IN YOUR ANSWER, SPECIFICALLY REFER TO THE RELEVANT THING(S) OF WHICH HE/SHE IS A LAWFUL HOLDER. Sipho can be described as a lawful holder of the room that he rented from Thandi at Imbizo Lodge. A lawful holder is a person who exercises physical control over a thing with the consent of the owner, but without the intention to hold the thing as owner. Sipho obtained control of the room through a valid lease agreement concluded with Thandi, who is the owner of the hotel. The lease granted him the right to occupy and use the room for a period of six months. His control over the room therefore exists on behalf of the owner and arises from a contractual arrangement rather than ownership or possession with the intention of becoming the owner. Sipho’s relationship with the room can therefore be classified as lawful holdership because he holds the property with the permission of the owner and recognises Thandi’s ownership (Scott, Property Law Study Guide, Study Unit 8; Van der Merwe and Scott Property Law).[ SJ Scott, Property Law Study Guide (University of South Africa 2023); CG van der Merwe and SJ Scott, Property Law (Juta 2012).]QUESTION 1 IDENTIFY ONE PERSON IN THE ABOVE SET OF FACTS THAT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A “LAWFUL HOLDER”.

QUESTION 1
IDENTIFY ONE PERSON IN THE ABOVE SET OF FACTS THAT CAN BE DESCRIBED
AS A “LAWFUL HOLDER”. IN YOUR ANSWER, SPECIFICALLY REFER TO THE
RELEVANT THING(S) OF WHICH HE/SHE IS A LAWFUL HOLDER.

Sipho can be described as a lawful holder of the room that he rented from Thandi at Imbizo Lodge.
A lawful holder is a person who exercises physical control over a thing with the consent of the
owner, but without the intention to hold the thing as owner. Sipho obtained control of the room
through a valid lease agreement concluded with Thandi, who is the owner of the hotel. The lease
granted him the right to occupy and use the room for a period of six months. His control over the

ownership or possession with the intention of becoming the owner. Sipho’s relationship with the
room can therefore be classified as lawful holdership because he holds the property with the
permission of the owner and recognises Thandi’s ownership (Scott, Property Law Study Guide,
Study Unit 8; Van der Merwe and Scott Property Law).1
