SASLAW Western Cape Chapter
AGM & SEMINAR – 10 June 2026
17:00 – ENS Cape Town

Join the discussion with Advocate Craig Bosch on the topic relating to “Section 188A(11) of the Labour Relations Act: Inquiry by Arbitrator – Practical Options and Implications in Light of Recent Case Law”

Section 188A(11) of the Labour Relations Act provides a unique mechanism through which employees who allege that disciplinary action is linked to a protected disclosure may insist that conduct or capacity allegations be determined by an independent arbitrator rather than through an internal process.

In this presentation, Advocate Craig Bosch will examine the purpose and operation of section 188A(11), analyse the latest judicial developments, and consider the practical implications for employers, employees, legal practitioners, and arbitrators. The session will provide valuable guidance on navigating the strategic and procedural challenges linked to this section.

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing on 17 May 2026 of one of SASLAW KwaZulu-Natal’s founding members, Pungajaville Pillay.

Pungajaville was a devoted member of SASLAW in KZN, always present to support our events and particularly committed to the work of our Pro Bono Office at the Durban Labour Court. Her unwavering dedication and contribution to the labour law fraternity are recognised and admired.

She will be sorely missed by colleagues, friends, and the wider SASLAW community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
