Custody Disputes | Determining the best interests of children in custody decisions: Isaac Moselana

An alleged family dispute regarding the custody of children turned violent at Matshidiso Primary School in Katlehong on Monday. According to reports, armed men forcibly removed two children from the school. Videos of the incident circulated on social media, showing three men wielding two pangas and an AK-47 rifle while taking the learners from the primary school. In South Africa, courts usually grant guardianship to both parents as part of a divorce settlement. However, specific circumstances may lead the court to award sole custody to one parent or even to someone who is not the child's biological parent. I am joined in studio by Isaac Moselana , Attorney at Nkosi Nkosana Inc, specialising in Family and Commercial Law, to unpack how custody works.
