Employment Law Director Imraan Mahomed joined eNews Channel Africa's Live at Lunchtime with Jeremy Maggs to discuss whether South African employers can impose mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies as a pre-requisite to return to work or as a precondition for employment.
With businesses preparing to resume as near to “normal” operations, as is possible, and with the rollout of covid-19 vaccinations worldwide, it is unlikely that the government will impose a mandatory vaccination program across the country. The question of mandating inoculation within the employee population will therefore need to be determined by individual employers on a case by case basis. A decision to be made sooner rather than later.
