Qayisa NO and Others v Alticon Group (Pty) Ltd and Others (28143/17) [2019] ZAGPJHC 467 (20 December 2019)
The court found that Daggafontein failed to pay the initial R10 million deposit by the stipulated date, which constituted a breach of the sale of land agreement. STI's notice of breach, although demanding more than was due, clearly identified the actual breach and informed Daggafontein of what was required to remedy it.

The Supreme Court of Appeal held that clause 4 of the lease agreement, when interpreted as part of the entire contract, was clear and unambiguous. The clause divided breaches into four distinct groups, with the seven-day notice requirement applying only to breaches of 'other conditions' and not to the failure to pay rent on the due date. The deletion of the word 'latter' and its initialling by the parties indicated unequivocally that the word was to form no part of the contract, but did not create ambiguity or extend the notice requirement to non-payment of rent.
