One step closer to law: The Copyright Amendment Bill and Performers’ Protection Amendment Bill

On 29 February 2024, both houses of the National Assembly approved these two controversial bills and sent them to the President for assent. The drafters of the Copyright Amendment Bill (CAB) stated that it is aimed at updating the Copyright Act 98 of 1978 (Copyright Act) to make it more effective for educators, researchers, and people with disabilities and also to ensure that artists “ do not die as paupers due to ineffective protection ”. This latter aspect is also addressed by the Performers’ Protection Amendment Bill (PPAB) which states that it seeks to protect performers’ moral and economic rights, as well as the rights of producers of soundrecordings.

Political parties’ involvement in workplace affairs

It has become a common feature in South Africa for political parties to want to become embroiled in workplace issues. This initially gained prominence with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF,) a well-known opposition national political party. The Labour Court has, however, already taken a strong stance against the EFF in two reported judgments: Calgan Lounge v EFF and Others 40 ILJ 342 (LC) a matter in which Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH) represented Calgan Lounge in 2018, and Gordon Road Spar v The Economic Freedom Fighters and Others 42 ILJ 1953 (LC) which was subsequently overturned by the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) in 2023 for technical legal considerations. We reported on these judgments in our 12 November 2018 , 4 October 2021 and 24 January 2022 Employment Law Alerts. The Gordon Road Spar judgment, however, needs to be heeded by employers who are faced with a similar dilemma and who intend to engage the assistance of thecourt.
