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.
