Our employment team advised Sibanye in the Constitutional Court matter of Sibanye/M Bester. The case relates to an assessment of racism in the workplace and, more particularly, deals with the question of direct and indirect racism. This dispute is not about defamation or injuria, but rather it focuses on statements which are actually racist or perceived to be racist in the workplace and which have the potential of causing divisions between workers and disrupting workplace harmony. The matter emanates from the Labour Appeal Court and was referred to the Constitutional Court on appeal.

Often, commercial agreements have arbitration clauses that make it peremptory for parties to the agreement to refer a dispute between them to arbitration. The effect of such clauses is that they oust a court’s jurisdiction to determine a dispute between the parties emanating from the agreement. However, despite these clauses in commercial agreements, courts are empowered by section 3(2) of the Arbitration Act 42 of 1965 (Arbitration Act), on good cause shown by an applicant, to set aside an arbitration agreement and order that the dispute between the parties not be referred to arbitration. AIG South Africa Limited (AIG) successfully brought such an application in AIG South Africa Limited v Molefe JDR 3456 (GP).
