When an employee posts something controversial online, dismissal feels like the obvious response. But the Labour Court recently said otherwise.

In a recent case, an employee posted a provocative message on WhatsApp during workplace tensions. The CCMA found misconduct but said dismissal was too severe. A final written warning was appropriate. The Labour Court agreed.

Four key takeaways:
- Context matters
- Misconduct and sanction are separate
- Proportionality is central
- A review is not an appeal

If you are an employer, this case is worth understanding before you act.

An employee posts something controversial on social media. The obvious response is dismissal. But is dismissal always fair?

A recent Labour Court judgment says not always.

The court confirmed that:
- Context matters
- Misconduct and sanction are separate questions
- Proportionality is key
- A review is not an appeal

The real question for employers: is dismissal a fair and proportionate response, or is there a better option?

Getting this wrong can cost you at the CCMA.

When you sign a contract in South Africa, you are bound by every term. Whether you read it or not.

This is caveat subscriptor. The signer bears the risk.

If you sign without reading, you cannot later argue you did not agree to a clause. The law presumes you accepted everything.

Standard form contracts often contain clauses that shift risk and limit liability. Things you would never agree to if you had read them.

Read before you sign. Or have it reviewed first. What you do not read can still bind you.

Divorce is hard. For children, it is harder.

Children should never carry the weight of their parents' conflict. They should not be messengers. They should not choose sides. They should not hear negative comments about either parent.

In South African law, the best interests of the child are paramount. Not a factor. Paramount.

When conflict starts affecting a child's wellbeing, the law can step in.

Parents may separate. Their duty to protect their children does not.

Divorce is difficult. But children should never carry the weight of their parents' conflict.

They should not be used as messengers. They should not be asked to choose sides. Their emotional wellbeing and stability must come first.

In South African law, the best interests of the child are paramount. When parental conflict affects a child, legal intervention may be necessary.

Our latest article explores how conflict impacts children and what the law says about protecting them.
