The Women’s Legal Centre has welcomed the judgment handed down on Thursday regarding Minister of Communications appeal for the extension application to remedy post office act. 

The Constitutional Court has dismissed the application and has ordered the minister to amend the law within a specific time frame. 

WLC Attorney Hoodah Abraham said Mrs Ngewu would now be able to access her pension fund which she was entitled to in 2007 but because the clean break principle did not apply it meant that she could not access it, she had to wait until her ex-husband to exited the fund.
