10th Annual VDT/Beeld Children’s Fund Corporate Golf Day/10de Jaarlikse VDT/Beeld Kinderfonds Korporatiewe Gholfdag

During the recent 10th annual VDT/Beeld Children’s Fund Corporate Golf day, which was held at the Pretoria Country Club, an amount of R160 000,00 was raised. As a result of such, VDT has over a period of 10 years, raised an amount in excess of R1 000 000,00 for the Beeld Children’s Fund. These funds are utilised for the basic and therapeutic needs of many homeless, orphaned and disabled children.

Tydens die onlangse 10de jaarlikse VDT/Beeld-Kinderfonds Korporatiewe Gholfdag by die Pretoria Buiteklub is ‘n bedrag van R160 000,00 ingesamel wat beteken dat VDT oor die typerk van 10 jaar nou reeds meer as R1 000 000,00 vir die Beeld-Kinderfonds ingesamel het.  Hierdie fondse is aangewend om aan die basiese behoeftes en die terapeutiese versorging van baie minderbevoorregte kinders te voorsien.

Culture vs style: When workplace dress codes cross the line

Culture vs style: When workplace dress codes cross the line

by | Jan 16, 2026 | , , , ,

Dress codes are a familiar part of many workplaces, yet employers often fail to calibrate how far they are allowed to go in regulating employee personal appearance. While employers may enforce standards of neatness, safety and professionalism, these rules cannot override constitutional rights, nor can they operate in a discriminatory manner. A recent reminder of this emerged from the Supreme Court of Appeal, where the court had to consider the fairness of dismissing correctional officers for refusing to cut their dreadlocks, contrary to the employer’s dress code.

The Competition Commission of South Africa (“Competition Commission”) identified a need to guide merger parties and stakeholders on claiming confidentiality over information. In September 2025, the Competition Commission issued Guidelines on the Commission’s handling of confidential information (“Guidelines”), which, however, are not binding on the Competition Commission, the Competition Tribunal or the Competition Appeal Court, but must be taken into account by these authorities when interpreting and applying the Competition Act 89 of 1998 (“Competition Act”).

Termination of joint ownership, rights in question: PIE Act explained

In a recent Western Cape court case where the court ordered the termination of joint ownership of properties, an interesting question arose as to whether the termination of joint ownership did not amount to an eviction contrary to the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, 19 of 1998 (PIE Act)? We look at the requirements for the termination of joint ownership by our courts and whether this can infringe on the PIE Act.
