Lender’s victory: Essential strategies for effective security enforcement
On 11 November 2024, the High Court in East African Cables PLC v Equity Bank (Kenya) Limited KEHC 14009 (KLR) delivered a ruling that reaffirmed the strong position of secured creditors in enforcing security. When East African Cables PLC (the borrower) defaulted on a KES 1.7 billion loan that was granted to it by Equity Bank (the bank), the court upheld the bank’s right to exercise its statutory power of sale over the charged properties despite the borrower’s attempts to block the process. This ruling reinforces key legal principles regarding the enforceability of different types of security and offers valuable lessons for lenders on how to navigate borrower disputes and ensure smooth enforcement of their rights.

While some approaches focus on formal legal procedures, others emphasise relationships, morality, or community harmony. As a country practically at its infancy in its journey into the more formalistic mediation space, South Africa should continuously seek insight into various techniques employed to resolve disputes through mediation. As an alternative source of knowledge wealth, we look to certain jurisdictions where dispute resolution through mediation is steeped in long-standing tradition. Of particular interest for this article are the more traditional mediation strategies employed by communities in Eastern Asia and North America.
