Happy Friday to you Vaughn

Why should Mr.Jordaan feel at all nervous when he has nothing to lose?
De Beers have guaranteed R75M and SUF will pay the same if Section 24 succeeds.
I thought that we were going to stick to facts but if you want to, then we can revert to your gutter fighting via your great political insight.I would prefer to stick to the facts on hand.
1.SUF nor anyone else on this thread have yet answered the simple question as to why the heirs were not contacted.Family trees were available as well as the local telephone directory.
Ownership was as simple as looking to see in whose name the rights were registered.SUF on RG advice decided to take a long shot that did not pay off.Why have SUF decided to offer R75M and drop the Section 17?
2.The heirs had the rights and proceeded to register them legally in the name of NGS.They were unaware of the rights until December 1997, if SUF had such a strong case why not go to court?The SA legal system is above reproach.If the rights had been sold or alienated then the new owners would have registered them in their own name.
The original owner had a great many mineral rights in his estate and NEVER sold one of them in his lifetime.
3.The DME plays NO part in the registration of private mineral rights.
4.SUF had all the proof that the heirs were the legitimate owners but thought that a group of 28 heirs would never work together and finance a legal defence.A classic case of underestimating the underdog.
5.I like your story: SUF, RG and their legal teams could take the part of the students.The Judge could be the professor and the question could be why didn't you try and contact the heirs.

Regards.

P.S. I have fish to go and catch.
