Attorney Slungu Thobela Explains Burial Rights and Family Disputes in South African Law

In this episode, we speak to attorney Slungu Thobela about one of the most emotional legal disputes families can face: who has the legal right to decide where a loved one is buried? We unpack what South African law says when a spouse and the deceased's family disagree, who has the stronger legal claim, and what options are available if the family believes the burial decision was unfair or unlawful—even after the burial has already taken place.
