Domestic workers: Assuming a work month of 22 days x 8 hours per day, R30,23 per hour equates to R241,84 per day or R5320,48 per month. Of course, this is just the bare legal minimum.

A recent Labour Court decision has confirmed that in assessing whether or not an employee is guilty of such harassment, it is the victim’s perspective that must lie at the heart of the enquiry. Victims will take heart from this decision, while employers and other employees should understand clearly the dangers of not heeding it. https://mindes.co.za/news/za72ppn0l0ndkw639feblq3tb374ai monthly 0.5 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c640ccd352bf699c149fb9/f877e26f-ef8e-4253-8de4-c67413ce4b54/072f8075-c1dd-4214-a4a5-f8119cff9561.png News - Your Top 10 (Legal) New Year’s Resolutions for 2026 - “My New Year’s resolution is to stop procrastinating.

Which is where Sun Tzu’s warning against delay comes into play, because not starting collection in time could defeat your claim entirely. The reason of course is that debts – with only a few exceptions – prescribe (become unenforceable) after three years.

Feeling that the justice system has failed you can cause significant psychological harm and feelings of victimisation. So, what happens if you believe that you are the victim of a crime, which you duly report to the police – only to be told that the NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) has declined to prosecute? You could of course console yourself with the thought that “well, at least I tried” and walk away unfazed. But if you feel strongly enough about it, you are not without legal remedy – in appropriate cases you could be advised to go the private prosecution route. https://mindes.co.za/news/a-bond-clause-deadline-whooshes-by-and-a-sale-dies-can-you-revive-it monthly 0.5 2025-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c640ccd352bf699c149fb9/92079f0b-aae1-43dc-b2b2-06e937814dd1/cbc2ade3-21dd-4a4d-acee-b73411532285.png News - A Bond Clause Deadline Whooshes by and a Sale Dies – Can You Revive it? - “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” (Douglas Adams in The Salmon of Doubt) Contracts often contain suspensive conditions, a common example being the bond clause in a property sale agreement. The standard bond clause provides that the buyer must obtain a bond by a set deadline, and everyone’s rights and obligations under the agreement are suspended until the bond is granted. If the bond isn’t granted by the deadline, there is no sale. In practice, the buyer often struggles to meet the set deadline and asks for an extension. If that happens to you, be sure to structure the extension correctly and to get it done and dusted before the deadline expires. https://mindes.co.za/news/a-thought-for-mandela-month-how-does-ubuntu-impact-your-legal-rights monthly 0.5 2025-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c640ccd352bf699c149fb9/fded53b1-bb9e-416d-9b1a-118e1da4e3e1/f6460089-58df-4f1e-b9b3-80fcf5b65b5a.png News - A Thought for Mandela Month – How Does Ubuntu Impact Your Legal Rights? - “In Africa there is a concept known as ‘ubuntu’ – the profound sense that we are human only through the humanity of others.” (Nelson Mandela) International Nelson Mandela Day is celebrated worldwide on 18 July every year, but in South Africa the whole of July is Mandela Month.

Convincingly structured to look realistic (AI’s dark hand there?), the articles suggested that 65 is the new universal standard retirement age for all employees across all sectors.

Imagine then this scenario – a key employee (someone senior, a specialist, or perhaps even a partner or director) is fired or leaves you. They take with them intimate knowledge of your business. They know all your trade secrets, your pricing processes, your marketing strategies, and all your trade connections.

A couple lives together, sharing the same roof and everything else in perfect happiness and harmony. Until it all goes south. Then the gloves come off and, particularly if our erstwhile couple end up dragging each other through the courts, everyone takes a beating. Bloodied, battered and bandaged, they’re going to wish they’d implemented Groucho’s “ounce of prevention” in the first place. We’ll explain how to keep things amicable.
