South Africa's heritage isn't only found in its languages, cultures and traditions. It is also found in the country's long-standing pursuit of justice, equality, dignity and freedom. We honour that heritage by helping to advance access to justice.

As we celebrate Heritage Day, we reflect on our commitment, embodied in the work of our Pro Bono team and in our broader efforts to strengthen access to justice for communities today and for generations to come.

Dakalo Singo considers how access to justice can help strengthen the ties that bind us, https://werksmans.com/expressing-our-heritage-through-access-to-justice/, while Naledi Motsiri and Nothando Nyoni reflect on the legal and social legacy we leave for future generations, https://werksmans.com/what-are-we-leaving-behind-the-law-our-heritage-and-the-south-africa-we-owe-our-children/.

The Labour Appeal Court has reaffirmed that substantive and procedural fairness are distinct principles in dismissal law. In Universal Product Network (Pty) Ltd v Commissioner Mbatsana NO and Others, the Court confirmed that even serious procedural defects do not erase an otherwise fair reason for dismissal or automatically justify reinstatement.

Bradley Workman-Davies examines the judgment and the practical implications for employers, highlighting that procedural fairness remains a statutory requirement, https://werksmans.com/bad-process-doesnt-make-a-good-dismissal-bad-lac-draws-a-clear-line-between-procedure-and-substance/.

South African labour law is frequently viewed through the prism of employee protection. As a result, a common misconception has emerged that South African labour law leaves employers powerless to manage risk, enforce standards, and protect commercial sustainability.

This is not the law.

Bradley Workman-Davies sheds light on the legal framework and what it really means for employers, https://lnkd.in/eQR7CXAi
