SPLUMA

Changes to SPLUMA Certificates for Mpumalanga Transfers

On 19 November 2024, the Constitutional Court Judgment (Case CCT189/2022 and CCT191/2022) declared certain sections of the relevant SPLUM By-Laws to be inconsistent with the Constitution of South Africa and invalid.

Therefore, the Mpumalanga Deeds Office has unofficially indicated that from 5 December 2024, lodgment of a SPLUMA certificate will no longer be required by their office in order to affect registration of transfer of properties in any municipal districts within the Mpumalanga province.

In it’s stead, you ?will be required to lodge a Conveyancer Certificate, making reference to the above Judgment, the section of the relevant By-Law, as well as the Municipality in which jurisdiction the property is situated.
