This farm, Kaalbooi, is now inextricably linked to acquisitive prescription and it started with the first sub-divisional transfer during 1936 some 79 years ago. How did it all come about? Client asked me to draft his will which, according to him, should be very simple and straightforward: His two sons should inherit his house and Kaalbooi in equal shares.
