Visit our self-help portal for advice, information and advice on various legal issues Legal Aid SA is an independent statutory body created by the Legal Aid Act 2014 SA to provide legal aid to those who cannot afford it. Advisory Line 0800110110 South African Society of Labour Law (SASLAW): For employment law matters: www.saslaw.org.za/index.php/pro-bono Many lawyers are willing to conduct civil suits (e.g. personal injury and motor vehicle accidents) on a conditional basis (without gain or cost) for individuals who may not be eligible for pro bono assistance. This is subject to the provisions of the Contingency Fees Act. Ask your lawyer if they are working on a conditional basis. Legal aid in South Africa derives its mandate from Article 35 of the Constitution. For the purposes of this article, every person arrested, detained or accused shall have the right to a fair trial, including the right to have a lawyer engaged by and at the expense of the State. Legal Aid South Africa`s mission is to provide legal assistance to those who cannot afford legal representation. This includes the poor and vulnerable groups such as women, children and the rural poor. Legal Aid SA applies a “resource test” to see if you are qualified in terms of what you earn.

For example, workers must earn less than R5,500 per month after tax deduction to qualify for legal aid. View and find all our offices nationally in our Find Us section To qualify for free legal assistance, a person must pass a “means test” (a maximum monthly income or no income) and have a legal problem with income. You will be referred by the Council of Legal Practice to a lawyer who will assist you free of charge (pro bono).
