Think your social media posts are “just personal”?

From an employment angle, they’re not.

Posts that damage your employer’s reputation, breach company policy, or cross legal lines can lead to disciplinary action or worse. Freedom of expression isn’t absolute.

As an employee, would you still hit “post” if your next job depended on it? And as an employer, are you clear on where free speech ends and reputational risk begins?

Think before you post.

Estate planning mistakes are more common than you might think.

Some of the biggest include:
• Never drafting a Will.
• Forgetting to update your Will after getting married or divorced.
• Choosing an executor without considering whether they're suitable.
• Not reviewing beneficiary nominations on life insurance and retirement funds.
• Assuming your family knows what your wishes are.

Estate planning is about making important decisions before someone else has to make them for you.

Many people believe their spouse automatically inherits everything.

That's not always true.

If you die without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act.

Depending on your family circumstances, your estate may be divided between your spouse, children, parents or even siblings. Someone you intended to inherit a specific asset may receive nothing at all.

Writing a Will gives you the opportunity to decide who inherits your estate and who will administer it.

On 9 August 1956, more than 20,000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against the extension of pass laws to women.

Their peaceful protest became one of the defining moments in South African history and inspired the phrase:

"Wathint' Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo."
"You strike a woman, you strike a rock."

Today, Women's Day honours not only that historic march, but every woman who continues to advocate for equality, justice and opportunity.

Happy Women's Day.

Women's rights in South Africa have evolved considerably over the past three decades.

The Constitution guarantees equality before the law, while legislation such as the Employment Equity Act and Basic Conditions of Employment Act has introduced important workplace protections, including safeguards against discrimination, maternity protections and mechanisms to address harassment.

Legal reform has transformed the workplace, but understanding these rights remains just as important as the legislation itself.
