Newswatch's Cliff Shiko reports.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
The matter was accordingly urgent.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So the Labor Court had jurisdiction to intervene in an incomplete disciplinary process, although such intervention was confined to exceptional circumstances.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So the applicant's attendance at the disciplinary inquiry and application for legal representation did not amount to approbation and reprobation or peremption.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Now, um, to obtain relief, however, she had to at least place sufficient information before the court to establish a prima facie entitlement to protection under the Protected Disclosures Act.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Nice win there.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Now, a really disturbing case here, um, N- Nala Municipality versus Madju on costs at the Labor Court.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
It's by Judge Prinsloo.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Now, Nala Municipality had previously obtained an order setting aside the enforcement and execution of an arbitration award.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
In that judgment, the Labor Court provisionally ordered that the municipality's costs be paid de bonis propriis by Quale Attorneys Inc. and Advocate Feni.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
The urgent application had become necessary because Thula Madju's legal representatives persisted in execution despite the arbitration award having been satisfied.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So the court afforded the legal reps seven court days to make submissions.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
It constituted a material departure from the responsibilities of legal office.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So no misdirection was shown in the grant of condemnation.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
The Labour Court was entitled to consider the constitutional interests of the learners as part of the broader interest of justice inquiry, together with the substantial merits of the review.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
As to the award, the defect did not lie in identifying the wrong inquiry, but how the arbitrator conducted it.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
She attached undue significance to the fact that the learners reported the incidents to their grandmothers rather than the school authorities and treated that reporting behavior as adversely affecting credibility.

Katie RidgeGUEST
And to that end, when I was preparing for our podcast today, I noted that age discrimination claims before the WRC in 2025 saw 176% surge.
Katie RidgeGUEST
And they were significantly driven around the concept or the issue of mandatory retirement ages.
Katie RidgeGUEST
And interestingly, that's following through to the Labour Court.
Katie RidgeGUEST
Their 2025 report shows a number of rulings around mandatory retirement ages.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So the CCMA found the dismissal substantively unfair and ordered reinstatement.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So now the case has been brought on review before the labor court.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Now, although the post-voice dismissal voice recording could not itself establish prior authorization and its maker was not called, the commissioner's finding of management knowledge and acquiescence rested independently on a certain meeting management's undertaking to procure alternatives, evidence that supervisors and team leaders knew of the materials and the employer's consistent accounts.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Interesting.
6 MINS LATER
Louis PodbielskiHOST
The employee's refusal to vaccinate led to her dismissal.
Louis PodbielskiHOST

Chuck WilliamsonNARRATOR
through the able representatives of each faction, without resorting to disastrous strikes, lockouts and disturbances of public comfort.
Alan JoyceGUEST
It went to arbitration.
Alan JoyceGUEST
It was like the Labour Court.
Alan JoyceGUEST
There's a fair work commission here.
Alan JoyceGUEST
And then it went into arbitration because the government put it into arbitration.
Naledi Mabitsela-NgcoboCORRESPONDENT
The first deputy president of COSATU and member of NEHAO, Mike Shingange, says he remains committed and deeply rooted in the organization despite his suspension.
Naledi Mabitsela-NgcoboCORRESPONDENT
His comments come after the Labor Court found that NEHAO's precautionary suspension does not prevent Shingange from contesting for the top leadership position of COSATU.
Mike ShingangeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The content and the reasons for suspension, it's a matter that belongs to me and now.
Mike ShingangeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So that's what we're going to do.
