Judgment

D Caney, A.J.P.:

These are the reasons which we undertook to file when we granted this application for admission as an attorney. The applicant, who was born in the Transvaal, has the required academic qualifications E for admission, attained in South Africa, but after obtaining them he emigrated to Southern Rhodesia and subsequently assumed Rhodesian citizenship. In that country he served articles of clerkship and became qualified for and obtained admission as an attorney, notary public and conveyancer and thereafter practised as such in Rhodesia from May, 1960, until December, 1966, when he returned to South Africa with the F intention of re-settling here permanently, as he is entitled to do and has done. On 15th February, 1967, he entered into articles of clerkship for two years to serve an attorney practising in Durban, with a provision that they be cancelled in the event of his being admitted and enrolled by this Court as an attorney prior to their expiration. To G this, having all the required qualifications, he is entitled, if he is exempted from service under articles by the provisions of sec. 8 (1) of Act 23 of 1934, as enacted by sec. 5 of Act 63 of 1964.
