The Labour Court has found that a man who claimed compassionate leave for the deaths of women he described as his 'mothers' and a relative he called a 'son', under cultural customs, was not dishonest.

Whitcher said the arbitrator accepted Njilo’s version, which in broad terms is that he knew, from a colleague, that one could apply for compassionate leave when a family member dies. He had been unaware of the intricacies of the compassionate leave policy, particularly that it did not cover people he regarded in Zulu culture as his “immediate family”, “mother” and “son”.

The employer subsequently applied for a review to the labour court, challenging the arbitrator’s finding. The arbitrator found the sanction of dismissal grossly inappropriate given the unique circumstances of the case.

This is a good rulling! Imagine how investors will flock to invest in such a country? Then they wonder why they're unemployed? Waste of resources. They could have spoken to him and correct it without drama. Clearly, they want him out for some reasons other than compassion leave.

Eight-year sentence for drunk driver who crashed into newly engaged couple, killing themThe Pretoria regional court on Thursday sentenced Andrew Kagiso Malele to eight years in prison for culpable homicide for causing the deaths of a young couple five years ago. Only eight years and probably out on parole in two years. He should have received life with no option of parole. And thanks to AfriForum for ensuring the case came to court. Fact: Life is cheap in South Africa. So a smack on the wrist then.... Should be 20 years HARD LABOUR
