Not sure how to lodge a consumer complaint in South Africa?

The National Consumer Commission is there to help — but it has limits. Knowing those limits stops you from wasting time with the wrong approach and missing the right one.

Janet Mc Intosh breaks down the process: where to go, what to keep as evidence, and when you need a lawyer instead.

Do you know what to do when a supplier in South Africa fails you?

Most people don't — and as a result, they either lose money or waste time going to the wrong place.

The Consumer Protection Act gives you real rights. But there's a right way to use them — and a wrong way that wastes everyone's time.

Not all dismissals work the same way.

Most employees are entitled to notice when their employment ends. But South African law recognises a category of conduct so serious that it justifies ending the relationship immediately — no notice, no payment in lieu.

This is called summary dismissal. It is reserved for gross misconduct that fundamentally undermines the employment relationship.

But here is what many employers miss: summary dismissal does not mean the disciplinary process can be skipped. Employers who assume otherwise face significant legal exposure at the CCMA and Labour Court.

In this article, Ross Hendriks unpacks what legally qualifies as gross misconduct, what a fair process looks like even for the most serious misconduct, what summary dismissal actually means in practice, and what the consequences are for getting it wrong.

If you manage staff in South Africa, this is essential reading.

Today marks a significant milestone for us our 19 year anniversary — a moment to celebrate the invisible hard work, sacrifices, dedication, and commitment that have brought us to where we are today.

Here's something many South African employers don't know.

There are situations where the law allows you to dismiss someone immediately — no notice, no payment in lieu.

But most employers still handle it incorrectly. And that's when the CCMA gets involved.

Understanding when summary dismissal is legally justified, and why process still matters even then, is one of the most important things any employer can know.

Employers, it’s worth reviewing your employment contracts.
After the Labour Court’s Lucchini decision, a blanket ban on employees looking for other work while employed is unenforceable. But lawful restraints of trade that apply after employment ends can still stand — if they’re properly drafted.
The line matters. Make sure your contracts are on the right side of it.

Before you sign a business sale agreement, list every piece of intellectual property — the brand, logo, domain, systems, trade secrets — and make sure each one is expressly assigned in writing.
“Goodwill” alone doesn’t transfer ownership of IP. Without a proper assignment clause, you could own the business but not the assets that made it valuable.

If you’re a step-parent, partner or grandparent who has helped raise a child, your role can carry legal weight — even without a biological link.
The court looks at the reality of the relationship: who provides daily care, stability, and emotional support. Keeping a record of your involvement can strengthen your position if you ever need to apply for contact or guardianship.
Biology is not the deciding factor. The child’s best interests are.
