Themba tells him that he accepts to buy at $750,000·00 per jacket and offers to buy at that price. In the meantime Themba talks to Brinah his friend and advises her of Ngoni’s offer made to him. She decides to accept the offer herself. Brinah writes to Ngoni accepting to buy the jackets at the price stipulated by Ngoni. Ngoni is not interested in selling to Brinah and rejects her ‘acceptance’. Upon learning this, Themba decides that he now wants to buy the jackets himself at the price previously stipulated by Ngoni and now verbally accepts the offer.Required:In relation to the law of contract, advise as to whether Ngoni is bound by any of the ‘acceptances’ communicated to him.
