Shifting tides: Rethinking non-compete clauses in employment contracts

Non-compete clauses are provisions in employment contracts that restrict an employee from engaging in certain competitive activities after the employment relationship ends within a specific time frame and geographical area. Employers often use them to safeguard their business interests. They aim to prevent former employees from leveraging their knowledge and relationships to benefit competitors while also respecting the employee’s right to seek future employment. This balance is crucial, ensuring that the clauses protect the employer’s interests without unreasonably restricting the employee’s career prospects.

Deferred purchase price and interest in share sale agreements: The National Credit Act

The National Credit Act 34 of 2005 (NCA) is not a piece of legislation that springs to mind when negotiating share sale transactions. This is mainly since share sale transactions typically do not constitute credit agreements and, if they do (due to payment deferral provisions), the NCA still wouldn’t apply where the purchaser (being the “ credit consumer ”) is a juristic person whose annual turnover or asset value equals or exceeds R1 million or where the purchase price is R250,000 or more, and the purchaser’s annual turnover or asset value is below R1million.

Unlocking citizenship: Overcoming irregular birth certificates

Nearly a decade after the coming into effect of various amendments to the South African Citizenship Act 88 of 1995 (Citizenship Act), which included a new ground of citizenship through the insertion of section 4(3) the Department of Home Affairs (Department) continues to impose arbitrary requirements that create unnecessary barriers to deserving applicants seeking to enforce their right to citizenship under section 4(3) of the act. This pattern of deprivation not only violates the clear provisions set forth in the Citizenship Act, but also effectively undermines the rule of law by denying individuals their legitimate rights entrenched in our Constitution, 1996. It raises serious concerns about the integrity and fairness of the implementation of the legal framework governing citizenship.
