Unlocking value through successful private equity exits in Africa

The African Private Capital Association’s (AVCA) 2024 Activity Report , published in April 2025, revealed that Africa experienced a remarkable surge in exit activity, with 63 exits marking a significant 47% year-on-year increase since 2022. The resurgence in private equity (PE) exits was driven by two key factors: investors delaying exits for a more favourable economic climate, creating a backlog of companies now exiting the market; and increasing demands from limited partners (LP) to return capital, prompting private capital firms to pursue strategic exits across their portfolios.

LAC confirms that valid mutual separation agreements preclude unfair dismissal claims

Can an employee who has signed a mutual separation agreement later claim unfair dismissal on the basis that the agreement was, in substance, a retrenchment? In WBHO Construction (Pty) Ltd v Masenye NO and Others (JA124/24) ZALAC 10 (26 February 2026), the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) answered this question in the negative. The court held that where a mutual separation agreement is freely and voluntarily concluded, no dismissal arises. Consequently, the statutory unfair dismissal regime under the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA) is not engaged. This judgment reaffirms the importance of contractual autonomy in employment law.
