A noteworthy judgment from the Western Cape High Court could have major implications for municipal billing structures across South Africa.

The Court found that certain fixed municipal charges introduced by the City of Cape Town were effectively linked to property value rather than actual service consumption — raising concerns around hidden taxation disguised as service tariffs.
The judgment reinforces the principle that public bodies must act within the limits of the law and structure tariffs fairly and transparently.

Swipe through to learn more about what this could mean for property owners and municipalities moving forward.

Myth Buster:
“Verbal warnings don’t count in the workplace.”

Reality under SA labour law :
• The law does not require all warnings to be written
• Verbal warnings may form part of progressive discipline, particularly for minor misconduct
• At the CCMA, the focus is on fairness, not form

A verbal warning may be disregarded if:
• The employee was not informed it was a warning
• There is no record that it occurred
• Expectations and consequences were unclear

Best practice: Record verbal warnings on the employee’s file.
