Summary of the POPIA case of Munetsi v Madhuyu and Another

The Western Cape High Court recently handed down a judgment that applied certain provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Mr Munetsi (the applicant), applied to the court seeking relief (a public apology) in light of Mr Madhuyu and another’s (respondents) publication on social media platforms of the applicant’s personal information which he alleged to be defamatory. The respondents published the applicant’s mobile number on Facebook, together with a video. The video prompted the respondents’ followers to contact the applicant, and thus resulted in a large volume of phone calls made to his number. The applicant claimed that such publication breached POPIA’s provisions (without any reference to a particular clause), as well as his right to privacy.

Workplace disputes and legal parameters in relation to defamation, contractual interference, and repudiation

In Sephton v Anglo Operations Pty Ltd (A2024/113960) ZAGPJHC 239, the High Court considered several key factors in its judgment. The appeal was brought against a prior ruling that granted absolution from the instance for the primary and alternative claims against the first, second, and third respondents while dismissing defamation and contractual interference claims. The court focused on whether the appellant had established a legal basis for defamation, wrongful interference with a contract, and repudiation. It examined the facts surrounding an alleged workplace harassment incident, the investigation that followed, and the contractual implications of the appellant’s exclusion from the site.
