Jaco says the Investing in African Mining Indaba plays a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the mining industry in South Africa. It was established as a platform to promote foreign investment – and it has evolved into a global forum for discussing the challenges and opportunities facing the mining sector.

Jaco says that navigating that progress positively in the mining sector requires a multifaceted approach that balances economic growth on the one hand with environmental and social considerations on the other – and also being inclusive. This entails embracing innovation to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, while also prioritising stakeholder engagement and community development.

A prudent question is one half of wisdom: The consequences of business email compromise on individuals | Part 2

Modern day technology has afforded people the luxury of convenience. However, with this increased convenience has come an upsurge in cybercrime attacks against law firms, banks, individuals and other institutions. The most common forms of attack are ransomware attacks, hacking and phishing scams. In the first part of this alert, titled A prudent question is one half of wisdom: The consequences of business email compromise on banks and attorneys , we discussed the case of Hartog v Daly and Others (A5012/2022) ZAGPJHC 40; 2 All SA 156 (GJ) (24 January 2023), in which an attorney fell victim to fraudsters who intercepted email communication and provided false banking details. This resulted in the attorney making payment into a fraudulent account without further questioning the change in the details, leading to a claim against him by the rightful recipients of the funds, which claim was upheld by a full court. In this article, we discuss the case of Edward Nathan Sonnenberg Inc v Hawarden (Case no 421/23) ZASCA 90 (10 June 2024), in which the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) considered the liability of a law firm in respect of a claim for pure economic loss caused by an alleged negligent omission.

With no positive action to counteract or reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, climate change extremities will worsen. As such, there is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change globally.

Navigating assessed losses: Where do we stand?

The assessed loss provisions contained in sections 20 and 20A of the ITA have been a focal point over the years for both individuals and companies seeking to reduce their taxable income. Originally introduced to alleviate the tax burden imposed on businesses that require high amounts of capital expenditure to start up, the assessed loss provisions have in certain circumstances been used as a tax tool to alleviate the payment of tax on the taxable income of a company or individual conducting a business.
