A parent pays termly fees, then receives bills for lessons, projects, excursions and sundry levies 🤔.

The school says the charges were always separate. The parent remembers no such explanation. Without a written fee schedule, both sides are left arguing from memory and the child can get caught in the middle.

Schools can prevent this by itemising what the termly fee covers, identifying optional and compulsory charges, stating due dates and getting parents to confirm the schedule. If a new charge arises, communicate it clearly and seek agreement where appropriate.

Schools should design their payments to make terms visible before commitment and keep changes recorded and timely communicated to Parents.

Transparency protects the school’s reputation and helps families plan.

Clear fees | Clear expectations | Better trust.

Bought a new TV, got it home, installed it… and it doesn’t work? 📺😩

Then the vendor points to a “NO REFUNDS” sign and refuses to replace it upon complaint?

Don’t panic! Don’t create a scene. Do this instead 👇🏽

✅ Keep evidence of your purchase and payment.
✅ Document your complaint to the vendor.
✅ If the matter isn’t resolved, seek redress through the relevant authorities.

Consumers rights matter!

Remember... you don’t have to face civil injustice alone 😊

"The mechanic says the job is done. The owner says, ‘I’m not paying."

What if the repairs, cost, and additional work were all agreed upon?

Civil justice works both ways.

🔧 Mechanics: Document approved repairs, costs, parts, payments, and additional work.

🚗 Vehicle owners: Understand what you approve, keep your records, and honour agreed terms.

Clear agreements + proper documentation = fewer disputes.

Know your rights. Know your responsibilities. Keep records.

No one should face civil injustice alone.

EMPLOYEES DESERVE TO BE TREATED RIGHT 😊

60 DAYS WITHOUT SALARY? 😟

You worked for it.
You earned it.
You deserve to be paid.

When your salary is delayed for weeks or months, it can become more than a financial burden - it can become a source of serious stress and uncertainty.

If your employer fails to pay what is due:

📌 Keep your employment documents and agreements
📌 Save payslips, bank statements and payment records
📌 Document every communication concerning your salary
📌 Keep evidence of the work you have done
📌 Know your options and seek appropriate advice

Your work deserves to be recognised.
Your rights matter.

Remember: No one should face civil injustice alone.

YOU HELPED SOMEONE WHEN THEY NEEDED YOU.

NOW, HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOURSELF?

Sometimes, a loan given out of kindness can become months of waiting, unanswered messages and emotional stress.

Before lending, protect yourself:
✅ Agree clearly on repayment terms.
✅ Keep proof of the transfer and communication.
✅ Where appropriate, have a simple written agreement.
✅ Keep a record of every repayment request.

Being compassionate doesn’t mean being careless. You can help someone and still protect yourself.

Remember... No one should face injustice alone.

A REPAIR REQUEST SHOULD NOT BECOME A TENANCY WAR

When a repair complaint arises, proper documentation can make all the difference.

Landlords should protect themselves:
✅ Keep records of repair requests
✅ Request photos where necessary
✅ Acknowledge complaints in writing
✅ Document inspections and repairs
✅ Keep evidence of completed work

Remember, no one should face injustice alone.

LANDLORD TROUBLES 👀

You get home after a long day at work, only to discover that your key suddenly no longer works 🤔

Wait a minute… this is a different lock!

Before you panic or confront your landlord, take a breath. Start by documenting what happened. Take pictures or videos and note the date and time.

Next, check your tenancy agreement to understand your rights and obligations. Keep records of every message, call, notice, or conversation with your landlord.

And before the situation escalates, consider your options and seek appropriate advice.

Remember... No one should face injustice alone 😊
