A deck collapsed seven months after transfer. The buyers, convinced they’d been sold a raw prawn, headed to the courts.

Eight claims and twelve years later, they haven’t recouped a cent. A 2026 Western Cape High Court judgment draws a sharp line between what the law protects buyers against and what it does not.

Not every difficult manager is a workplace bully, and not every uncomfortable workplace is an unlawful one. But where exactly does the law draw the line?

A 2023 Labour Court judgment tackles that question head-on, with important lessons for both employers and employees. If you’ve ever wondered whether a harassment claim would succeed against your employer, or whether your management style exposes your business to legal risk, the answer may surprise you.

Think a disclaimer will protect your business from liability? Not so fast. Our courts have made it clear that a disclaimer is only enforceable where consent is properly obtained, risks are clearly disclosed, and the wording is specific enough to cover the conduct in question.

These principles matter for businesses operating in high-risk environments, and for consumers who may assume they have signed away more rights than they actually have. A case brought by a woman who fell from her safari vehicle in Botswana illustrates this point.

Before you make a loan to anyone, be sure to comply fully with the strict requirements of the National Credit Act.

If you don’t, you could lose your loan entirely, with a recent High Court decision providing a stark reminder of the consequences. The Court declared a R430,000 loan to have been “reckless lending”, leaving the lender (a family trust) to write off the bulk of its loan, lose a decade’s worth of interest, cancel its security bond over a house, and pay legal costs. Why did that happen and how can you, as a lender, avoid the same fate?

We’ve all grumbled about being endlessly F**A’d and RICA’d. “Waste of time,” we mutter as we wade through all the red tape yet again. Compliance certainly is a hassle, but don’t blame the bank, service provider or conveyancer who asks for it. They are legally obliged to ensure compliance, and so are you.

But F**A and RICA? Yes, in some instances (like applying for a cellphone contract) both will be necessary. That’s because F**A (the Financial Intelligence Centre Act) focuses on fighting money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorism funding by verifying your identity and scrutinising financial transactions. RICA (the Regulation of Interception of Communications Act) focuses on telecommunications, requiring SIM cards and internet connections to be linked to a verified owner. Neither is of course anywhere near foolproof in fighting crime, but they do help – to everyone’s benefit.

The rewards of company directorship come with a caution: the duties and responsibilities imposed on you by the Companies Act need constant management. Drop the ball on that and you could face some seriously negative consequences.

We’ll discuss one of those risks – the career-threatening risk of being declared a “delinquent” director – in the context of two recent court judgments which involved large amounts of money, seriously disaffected stakeholders, and 7-year bans from holding any position at director or senior management level.

We’ll end by sharing some thoughts on how you can manage those risks.

Unpaid levies can leave body corporates out of pocket and out of patience. When conventional debt recovery feels too slow, sequestration may seem like the obvious next step.

But a recent High Court judgment is a reminder that sequestration is not a debt-collection shortcut. The court refused an application by a body corporate that had failed to meet the strict statutory requirements. Before reaching for the nuclear option, body corporates should understand what the law actually requires.

26/03/2026

The National Minimum Wage (NMW) for each “ordinary hour worked” has been increased from 1 March 2026 by 5% from R28,79 per hour to R30,23 per hour.

Domestic workers: Assuming a work month of 22 days x 8 hours per day, R30,23 per hour equates to R241,84 per day or R5320,48 per month. Of course, this is just the bare legal minimum. The Living Wage calculator will help you check whether you are actually paying enough to cover a household’s “minimal need” (adjust the “Assumptions” in the calculator to ensure that the figures used are up-to-date).
