Thabo owes an amount of R2 567 374.00 to his creditors. Since Thabo’s retrenchment by his long-standing employer in March 2024, Thabo has been experiencing
ongoing financial difficulty. He has failed to pay his debts over the past few months, and since 30 November 2024 his liabilities have exceeded his assets. Maria is
one of Thabo’s creditors, who is owed an amount of R320 000 by Thabo. Thabo’s debt to Maria was due and payable on 5 January 2025, but Thabo failed to pay the
debt. Disappointed at this, Maria undertook an investigation into Thabo’s financial affairs. She has established that Thabo owns an apartment valued at R2 250 000
and furniture valued at R300,000. She has also discovered that Thabo had owed his cousin an amount of R400,000, which was due and payable only on 30 April
2025, and that Thabo had made an early repayment in full to his cousin on 29 January 2025. Thabo had wanted to ensure that should one of his creditors apply for
the sequestration of his estate, his family members would not suffer any financial loss. With the above in mind, discuss whether Maria is likely to be successful in
an application for a court order for the sequestration of Thabo’s estate. Include in your discussion the requirements she must prove to succeed with such an
application.

Introduction
In South African insolvency law, the sequestration of a debtor's estate refers to the legal process
by which a debtor's assets are seized and distributed among creditors in the event of insolvency.
For a creditor such as Maria to successfully apply for a sequestration order, certain conditions must
be met. This discussion will explore these conditions, drawing from the requirements in South
African insolvency law, with reference to Hockley’s Insolvency Law (7th ed.) and relevant case
law.
