The South African cricket team made it to the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup where they narrowly lost to Australia, and Bafana Bafana made it to the semi-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament for the first time in more than 20 years. On the individual front, Dricus du Plessis became the first South African to hold an Ultimate Fighting Championship belt, and a few days ago, Tyla won the Grammy for the Best African Music Performance, with artist Musa Keys also having been nominated in that category. Kgothatso Montjane also won the women’s wheelchair doubles titles at the French Open and US Open in 2023 and made it to the women’s wheelchair singles final atWimbledon.

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.
