          Translated abstract

          Die Nasionale Kredietwet 34 van 2005 (hierna die NKW) lei die konsep van roekelose krediet vir die eerste keer In Suid-Afrikaanse kredietwetgewing in. Die NKW poog om roekelose kredietverlening te voorkom deur voorooreenkoms-assessering ingevolge artikel 81 daarvan verpligtend te maak en maak verder voorsiening vir verskeie remedies ten opsigte van roekelose krediet. Daar word aan die howe verskeie magte verleen afhangende van die soort roekelose krediet wat toegestaan is. Aansienlike onduidelikheid bestaan egter oor die basis waarop die magte van die hof om te beveel dat 'n totale of gedeeltelike tersydestelling van die regte en verpligtinge van die verbruiker, aan wie roekelose krediet soos beoog in artikel 80(1)(a) en 80(1)(b)(ii) toegestaan is, uitgeoefen moet word. Dit is voorts ook nie duidelik op watter basis 'n hof ten aansien van voormelde soorte roekelose krediet moet besluit tussen tersydestelling van die verbruiker se regte en verpligtinge of opskorting van die krag en effek van die ooreenkoms nie. Hierdie bespreking stel praktiese ondersoek in na die aard van roekelose krediet en die wyse waarop 'n voorooreenkoms-assessering gedoen moet word. Die remedies ten opsigte van roekelose krediet word ontleed in 'n poging om die praktiese effek van die magte van die hof vas te stel ten opsigte van die verskillende gevalle van roekelose krediet waarvoor die NKW voorsiening maak. Die prosedurele implikasies verbonde aan roeklose krediet word ook ondersoek.

          The National Credit Act regarding suretyships and reckless lending

          In terms of the National Credit Act a credit provider may conclude a credit agreement with a consumer only after he has made a proper financial assessment and concludes that the consumer will be able to satisfy all of his obligations under all his credit agreements. However, a practice of not conducting this affordability assessment has evolved amongst certain credit providers where the credit agreement involved is a suretyship agreement. This article investigates whether or not a suretyship agreement is indeed a credit agreement in terms of the National Credit Act, and if a financial assessment should be conducted in the case of a suretyship agreement. The main aim of the article is to try to identify what the concept of a "credit guarantee", as defined in the Act, encompasses and ultimately if the common-law contract of suretyship falls under this definition. Our conclusion is that "credit guarantee" is as vague and problematic as many of the other definitions in the Act. If one reads the Act in its entirety (including the regulations to the Act), it seems unlikely that the legislature intended not to regulate common-law suretyships also.
