City of Cape Town: Establishment of a regional landfill site
Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr advised the City of Cape Town on a challenge to the authorisation of the establishment of a regional landfill site.
This mandate is important as the City of Cape Town is running out of space in which to dispose of waste and it is critical that a new landfill site be established to ensure that adequate municipal services are supplied.

Lender’s victory: Essential strategies for effective security enforcement
On 11 November 2024, the High Court in East African Cables PLC v Equity Bank (Kenya) Limited KEHC 14009 (KLR) delivered a ruling that reaffirmed the strong position of secured creditors in enforcing security. When East African Cables PLC (the borrower) defaulted on a KES 1.7 billion loan that was granted to it by Equity Bank (the bank), the court upheld the bank’s right to exercise its statutory power of sale over the charged properties despite the borrower’s attempts to block the process. This ruling reinforces key legal principles regarding the enforceability of different types of security and offers valuable lessons for lenders on how to navigate borrower disputes and ensure smooth enforcement of their rights.

Deep dive into the Supreme Court’s decision in Symon Wairobi Gatuma v Kenya Breweries Limited
It is now well understood that any unilateral amendment to an employment contract amounts to an unfair labour practice under section 45 of the Employment Act 11 of 2007 (the Employment Act). This has recently been reiterated by the Supreme Court of Kenya in Symon Wairobi Gatuma v Kenya Breweries Limited and Three Others, Petition E023 of 2023 (the Supreme Courtdecision). The Supreme Court decision is, however, more than just a decision on unilateral amendments to employment contracts. It addresses and provides guidance as to how to treat employees during business restructuring exercises and redundancies.
