Key insights into the Public Benefits Organizations Act, 2013

Delay is not denial. This famed phrase could not be truer for Kenyan civil society in light of the Government’s gazetting of 14 May 2024 as the commencement date of the Public Benefit Organization Act, 2013 (PBO Act) after a decades-long wait, court battles, and defiant government administrations. The PBO Act repeals in its entirety the infamous Non-Governmental Organizations Co-ordination Act, 1990 (NGOAct).

Political parties’ involvement in workplace affairs

It has become a common feature in South Africa for political parties to want to become embroiled in workplace issues. This initially gained prominence with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF,) a well-known opposition national political party. The Labour Court has, however, already taken a strong stance against the EFF in two reported judgments: Calgan Lounge v EFF and Others 40 ILJ 342 (LC) a matter in which Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH) represented Calgan Lounge in 2018, and Gordon Road Spar v The Economic Freedom Fighters and Others 42 ILJ 1953 (LC) which was subsequently overturned by the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) in 2023 for technical legal considerations. We reported on these judgments in our 12 November 2018 , 4 October 2021 and 24 January 2022 Employment Law Alerts. The Gordon Road Spar judgment, however, needs to be heeded by employers who are faced with a similar dilemma and who intend to engage the assistance of thecourt.

The role of shareholders in business rescue proceedings

One of the stated purposes of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) is to promote innovation and investment in South African markets and provide for the efficient rescue and recovery of financially distressed companies, in a manner that balances the rights and interests of all relevant stakeholders, including shareholders. Business rescue is therefore widely accepted as an alternative to liquidation for financially distressed companies, with the intention of giving such companies the opportunity to reorganise and restructure their affairs for them to regain their solvency. To this end, the definition of “ affected persons ” includes creditors, employees (or their representative), a registered trade union and shareholders. The role played by each “ affected person ” is unique in many ways but can have an impact on the failure or success of any business rescue proceedings.
