Dear Student

1 INTRODUCTION

Unisa is a comprehensive ODeL higher education institution. The comprehensiveness of our

curricula encapsulates a range of offerings, from strictly vocational to strictly academic
certificates, diplomas and degrees. Unisa's "openness" and its distance eLearning character
result in many students registering at Unisa who may not have had an opportunity to enrol in
higher education. Our ODeL character implies that our programmes are carefully planned and
structured to ensure success for students ranging from the under-prepared but with potential to
the sufficiently prepared.

Teaching and learning in an ODeL context involve multiple modes of delivery ranging from
blended learning to fully online. As a default position, all post graduate programmes are offered
fully online with no printed study materials, while undergraduate programmes are offered in a
blended mode of delivery where printed study materials are augmented with online teaching and
learning via the learner management system – myUnisa. In some instances, undergraduate
programmes are offered fully online as well.

Furthermore, our programmes are aligned with the vision, mission and values of the University.
Unisa's commitment to serve humanity and shape futures combined with a clear appreciation of
our location on the African continent, Unisa's graduates have distinctive graduate qualities which
include

• independent, resilient, responsible and caring citizens who are able to fulfil and serve in
multiple roles in their immediate and future local, national and global communities
• having a critical understanding of their location on the African continent with its histories,
challenges and potential in relation to globally diverse contexts
• the ability to critically analyse and evaluate the credibility and usefulness of information
and data from multiple sources in a globalised world with its ever-increasing information
and data flows and competing worldviews
• how to apply their discipline-specific knowledges competently, ethically and creatively to
solve real-life problems
• an awareness of their own learning and developmental needs and future potential

Whether a module is offered either as blended (meaning that we use a combination of printed
and online material to engage with you) or online (all information is available via the internet), we
use myUnisa as our virtual campus. This is an online system that is used to administer, document
and deliver educational material to you and support engagement with you. Look out for
information from your lecturer as well as other Unisa platforms to determine how to access the
virtual myUnisa module site. Information on the tools that will be available to engage with the
lecturer and fellow students to support your learning will also be communicated via various
platforms.

You are encouraged to log into the module site on myUnisa regularly (that is, at least twice per
week).

2 WELCOME TO THE LAW OF SUCCESSION MODULE (PVL2602)

Welcome to the module PVL 2602! We trust that you will enjoy the module.
There are three very important aspects regarding the Law of Succession module (PVL2602)
that you need to take note of from the very beginning:
● Tuition and delivery of study material in this module are blended
We follow a blended approach in the tuition and delivery of the study material for PVL2602,
meaning that we use a combination of printed and online material on the learner management
system, myUnisa, to engage with you.
● All assessments for PVL2602 are in the in form of online multiple-choice
questions (MCQs)
● Familiarise yourself with myUnisa and the PVL2602 module site
Browse the Unisa website for crucially important information and familiarise yourself with the
homepage or landing page of myUnisa and the module site for PVL2602. You will find all the
information that you need to start with the module PVL2602 here. As stated in section 1, you
must log into the PVL2602 module site on myUnisa at least twice per week.
When communicating with your lecturers, you also have to use your myLife e-mail account which
is part of the myUnisa experience – please see below in par 5.

3 PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES

3.1 Purpose

The purpose of the module in Law of Succession, is to equip students with basic knowledge,
competencies and skills to recognise the role of law of succession in everyday life and to solve
the most prevalent issues that occur in the law of succession within the South African context.
We aim to equip students with knowledge, skills, and competencies to analyse and critically
evaluate legal material (such as the Constitution, legislation, case law and academic opinion)
relating to the law of succession in order to formulate legal arguments and to apply their
knowledge to practical problems.

3.2 Outcomes

We discuss the learning outcomes for this module in more detail in the study guide but in short,
the outcomes are the following:

• Recognising the role of law of succession in everyday life

• Knowledge of definitions in law of succession

• Succession in practical context

• Solving law of succession problems

• Engaging with legal texts relating to law of succession

• Having the academic knowledge and skills to enter a career in law

5
Assessment criteria

Having mastered this module, you should have developed a clear knowledge and understanding
of the law of succession and the skills to apply your theoretical knowledge to practice in the
context of problem situations in your day-to-day work environment. You will be required to
demonstrate that you can interpret legal documents in respect of the law of succession and advise
and represent parties in legal proceedings on matters relating to the law of succession.

4 CURRICULUM TRANSFORMATION
Unisa has implemented a transformation charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In
response to this charter, we have placed curriculum transformation high on the teaching and
learning agenda. Curriculum transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred
scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of
teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. These pillars
and their principles will be integrated at both programme and module levels as a phased-in
approach. You will notice a marked change in the teaching and learning strategy implemented by
Unisa, together with how the content is conceptualised in your modules. We encourage you to
embrace these changes during your studies at Unisa in a responsive way within the framework
of transformation.

5 CONTACTING THE UNIVERSITY VIA EMAIL

To assist Unisa to safeguard your personal information, please ensure that you only use your
myLife e-mail account when communicating with the university. We will not be responding to
any emails sent from private email addresses.
By using your myLife e-mail account, the university has a reasonable assurance that we are
communicating with you, as your e-mail address contains your student number and you use your
login credentials to access the account.
Personnel at Unisa may only communicate with a student using a private e-mail address under
the following circumstances:

• New applicants who are enquiring about information for the purpose of applying for
admission.
• New applicants who do not yet have a myLife e-mail account, because they have been
admitted but not yet registered.
• When a student requires assistance in resolving myLife e-mail account access
problems.

Please be aware that any personal information you publish on public platforms, such as social
media platforms and WhatsApp groups, is not covered by the provisions of the Protection of
Personal Information Act 4 of 2013. Any personal information published in the public domain is
not considered private and can, therefore, be accessed by external parties with access to such
platforms.

7 RESOURCES
7.1 Prescribed book

Please do not attempt to study this module without the prescribed textbook. You will not gain
sufficient knowledge by studying from the study guide and tutorial letters only. You cannot expect
to be successful if you do not have the latest edition of the textbook. It is essential that you
purchase it.

The prescribed book for this module is:

Jamneck, Rautenbach, Paleker, Van der Linde, Wood-Bodley The Law of Succession in
South Africa 3rd ed (2017) Oxford University Press Cape Town

You must study the textbook in conjunction with your wrap around study guide. Your study guide
tells you which sections to study in the textbook (see par 7.2).

Where to buy the prescribed book

You must purchase the prescribed textbook by Jamneck, Rautenbach et al from a bookseller
or online. Find the approved Unisa booksellers at https://www.unisa.ac.za/sites/myunisa/default/-
Books/Official-Booksellers.

The prescribed textbook is also available online and in electronic format and can be ordered from
websites such as Takealot or Loot or directly from the publishers (Oxford University Press).

Please note that only the third edition of the textbook should be purchased.

Buy the prescribed textbook as soon as possible to ensure that you receive it in enough time to
complete Assignment 01. It is imperative that you obtain the textbook as you will not obtain
satisfactory results in the assignments or the examination without the textbook.

7.2 Study guide

For this module there is only one study guide. It may be delivered by courier, but it is also available
electronically on myUnisa on the module site for PVL2602. Please downloadit as soon as
possible.

It is a so-called “wrap-around” study guide that guides you through the prescribed textbook.
Please note that it does NOT replace the textbook and cannot be used on its own to study the
content of the module.

Interaction between the “wrap-around” study guide and the prescribed textbook
• The textbook contains all the information that you must study.
• The study guide indicates which sections in the textbook you must study.
If you do not study these sections thoroughly and do not have a detailed knowledge of
them, you will not pass the examination.
The study guide refers you to a casebook (Cronjé DSP & Roos A Erfregvonnisbundel/Casebook
on the Law of Succession 4th ed (2002) Unisa Pretoria.)

10
 PVL2602/101/3/2022

Please note that the casebook is no longer prescribed. Most of the cases that were previously
prescribed from the casebook are discussed in the prescribed textbook. The full version of these
cases can be found in the library or online at saflii.org. (The Southern African Legal Information
Institute [SAFLII] is an online repository of legal information from South Africa.)
If you do wish to buy the casebook, you can buy it from Unisa Press (unisa-press@unisa.ac.za;
e-mail: unisa-press@unisa.ac.za; Tel no: (012) 429-3515 / (012) 429-2976 / (012) 429-3448/
(012) 429-3368 / (012) 429-2953).
7.3 Tutorial letters
Apart from Tutorial Letters 101 and 301, you will also receive other tutorial letters during the
semester. These tutorial letters will not necessarily be available at the time of registration but will
be uploaded on myUnisa as soon as they are available or needed (for instance, feedback on
assignments or new case law).

Tutorial letters are part of your study material for assignment and examination purposes.
They are just as important as the study guide itself. Read and reread each tutorial letter
and keep it for reference purposes. Tutorial letters that contain additional study material
must be regarded as part of your study material for study and examination purposes.

7.4 Prescribed cases

It is COMPULSORY that you study the cases listed below. These cases must be studied in
conjunction with the textbook. This will help you to gain greater insight into the relevant principles
and their application. You will not be able to answer some of the questions in the assignments or
the examination without studying the cases.

The majority of the prescribed cases are discussed in the prescribed textbook. A few are
discussed in the study guide. You must study these cases to the extent that they are discussed
in the textbook or study guide.

There are only a few cases that you must download from SAFLII (http://saflii.org) and read
in their entirety. Questions relating to these cases can be asked in the examination. (Please
refer to your Law of Persons module where it is explained how you should read a case.)

Cases not prescribed but discussed in the textbook

You should bear in mind that the cases which are not listed as prescribed, but which are discussed
in your textbook are also important and should not be ignored. Decisions by our courts are very
important as sources of authority.

List of prescribed cases

You must read the following cases in their entirety (they can be found on http://saflii.org):

• Minister of Education v Syfrets Trust Ltd 2006 (4) SA 205 (C)

• Bekker v Naude 2003 (5) SA 173 (SCA)
• Van der Merwe v The Master 2010 (6) SA 544 (SCA)

11
Prescribed case listed in study guide

You must study all the other cases prescribed in a specific study unit, as it is discussed
in the prescribed textbook or the study guide.

7.5 Recommended books

There are no recommended books for this module.

7.6 Electronic reserves (e-reserves)

8 STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

8.1 Module-specific support initiatives

All information relating to module-specific support initiatives will be made available to you via
myUnisa on the module site.

 PVL2602/101/3/2022

8.2 First-Year Experience Programme @ Unisa

For many students, the transition from school education to tertiary education is beset with anxiety.
This is also true for first-time students to Unisa. Unisa is a dedicated open distance and e-learning
institution. Unlike face-to-face/contact institutions, Unisa is somewhat different. It is a mega
university, and all our programmes are offered through a blended learning mode or fully online
learning mode. It is for this reason that we thought it necessary to offer first-time students
additional/extended support so that you can seamlessly navigate the Unisa teaching and learning
journey with little difficulty and few barriers. In this regard we offer a specialised student support
programme to students entering Unisa for the first time. We refer to this programme as Unisa’s
First-Year Experience (FYE) Programme. The FYE is designed to provide you with prompt and
helpful information about services that the institution offers and how you can access information.
The following FYE programmes are currently offered:

• FYE website: All the guides and resources you need to navigate through your first year at
Unisa can be accessed using the following link: www.unisa.ac.za/FYE

• FYE e-mails: You will receive regular e-mails to help you stay focused and motivated.

• FYE broadcasts: You will receive e-mails with links to broadcasts on various topics related to
your first-year studies (eg videos on how to submit assignments online).

• FYE mailbox: For assistance with queries related to your first year of study, send an e-mail to
fye@unisa.ac.za

8.3 Companies falsely advertising Unisa services

Some companies and social media pages have been falsely advertising Unisa online information
and various services to assist Unisa students. In the process, companies either solicit money
fraudulently from students or make money through online advertising with no benefit to students.
These companies are in no way associated or related to Unisa.
We request that students only use official Unisa sites and platforms as any other platforms will
provide you with incorrect information and/or act illegally which will be harmful to your studies.
Unisa will always use official communication channels (eg Unisa website, myUnisa, Unisa social
media platforms, myLife e-mail) to communicate with students.
Please use the following Unisa platforms for official Unisa information:

• www.unisa.ac.za
• https://my.unisa.ac.za
• https://www.facebook.com/UniversityOfSouthAfrica
• https://twitter.com/unisa
• https://www.linkedin.com/company/unisa

9 STUDY PLAN
There is no specific study plan for this module. You must go through the work at your own
pace. How fast your own pace will be, depends on when you register, receive or download your
study material and obtain your textbook. You will only be able to master this module if you
start studying it early in the semester and if you study every day. For some study units you
will need only a few days, while you will have to spend more time on others. Please do not
underestimate the scope of this module. Work out a study plan that will suit your study methods
and will fit into the time available after your registration. Consult the Study @ Unisa brochure
on the Study @ Unisa website (www.unisa.ac.za/brochures/studies) for information on how to
schedule your semester.

10 PRACTICAL WORK
There is no practical work for this module.

11 ASSESSMENT
11.1 Assessment criteria

In order to pass this module, you need to obtain a mark of 50%. Assignment 01 and
assignment 02 together contribute 20% towards your final mark (the assignments make up your
semester mark). The examination mark will contribute 80%. Therefore, the mark out of 100 you
obtain in the examination will be converted to a mark out of 80. Thus, your final mark for the
module will be calculated by adding your semester mark to your adjusted examination mark.

Subminimum
It is very important that you should note that a subminimum applies for your examination mark.
You need to obtain at least 40% in the examination before your semester mark will be
considered for purposes of determining whether you pass, fail or qualify for a
supplementary examination. That means that a student who obtains at least 40% in the
examination and who worked during the semester and consequently has a good semester mark
will have a great advantage over a student who has no semester mark or a bad semester mark.
It also means that even if you get full marks (i.e. obtain 20 out of 20) for your assignments you
will still fail the module if you earn less than 40% in the examination. In such a case, you will not
even be allowed to write a supplementary examination.

It is your responsibility to check on myUnisa before the examination date to ensure that
all assignments have been recorded against your name. It is also your responsibility to
check on myUnisa what the examination date is, and to ensure that it is the final (and not
preliminary) examination date.
11.2 Assessment plan

You must log into the module site on myUnisa in order to access the following:

• the due dates for assignments

• the actual assignments that must be completed
• how to submit your assignments
• the weighting of the different assessments
• admission to the exam
• the examination.

14
 PVL2602/101/3/2022

11.3 Unique numbers

Assignments no longer have unique numbers.

11.4 Assignment due dates

• There are no assignment due dates included in this tutorial letter.

• Assignment due dates will be made available to you on the landing page for this module
on myUnisa. We envisage that the due dates will be available to you upon registration.

• Please start working on your assignments as soon as you register for the module.

• Log into the myUnisa site for this module to obtain more information on the due dates for the
submission of the assignments.

11.5 Submission of assignments

All information on when and where to submit your assignments will be made available to you via
the myUnisa site for your module.
11.6 The examination

Examination information and details on the format of the examination will be made available to
you online via the myUnisa site. Look out for information that will be shared with you by your
lecturer and e-tutors (where relevant) and for communication from the University.

12 ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
12.1 Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of taking the words, ideas and thoughts of others and presenting them as
your own. It is a form of theft which involves several dishonest academic activities, such as the
following:
• Cutting and pasting from any source without acknowledging the source.
• Not including or using incorrect references.
• Paraphrasing without acknowledging the original source of the information.
12.2 Cheating
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Completing assessments on behalf of another student, copying from another student
during an assessment or allowing a student to copy from you.
• Using social media (eg WhatsApp, Telegram) or other platforms to disseminate
assessment information.
• Submitting corrupt or irrelevant files.
• Buying completed answers from “tutors” or internet sites (contract cheating).
We wish to remind you that Unisa has a zero tolerance for any form of assignment and
examination dishonesty or cheating.
The Unisa rules for students and the Student Disciplinary Code can be found at
https://www.unisa.ac.za/sites/corporate/default/Apply-for-admission/Student-policies-%26-rules.

https://www.unisa.ac.za/sites/myunisa/default/Study-@-Unisa/Student-values-and-rules
12.4 Copyright infringement
Please note that it is a serious offence to copy a textbook in its entirety. Any such behaviour can
compromise your entire career as impeccable character is a requirement before you may be
admitted to any legal profession!

13 STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

The Advocacy and Resource Centre for Student with Disabilities (ARCSWiD) provides an
opportunity for staff to interact with new and returning students with disabilities.
