Abstract
This note discusses some remarks made in Radebe v Sosibo NO 2011 (5) SA 51 (GSJ) (hereafter the Radebe case) - a matter heard on appeal in the South Gauteng High Court. The case dealt, in essence, with the question whether a contextual reading of a 'property exclusion clause' in an antenuptial contract could be construed as a valid pactum successorium (succession agreement or pactum de succendo) when one of the parties to the contract died intestate.
