Tharisa Minerals (Pty) Ltd v National Union of Mineworkers and Others (2025/051769) [2025] ZALCJHB 344 (4 August 2025)

Singamandla and Others v South African Public Workers Trade Union and Others (2025/085193) [2025] ZALCJHB 343 (1 August 2025)
The court found that the applicants failed to establish a clear right to an interdict restraining the strike action. The union's request for organisational rights did not comply with section 21(2) of the LRA, and the employer's referral to arbitration did not trigger the prohibition on strike action under section 65(1)(c). Section 65(2)(a) expressly permits strike action in pursuit of organisational rights, and the constitutional right to strike must be interpreted in the least restrictive manner. The applicants' attempt to frustrate the right to strike by hastily referring the dispute to arb…

Ulundi Municipality v Mpungose and Others (6551/2020) [2025] ZAKZPHC 73 (24 July 2025)
The court found that the land in question is under the jurisdiction of Ulundi Municipality, as established by statutory instruments and the respondents' own admissions. The Inkosi Mpungose and Traditional Council have no legal interest that would be prejudiced by non-joinder, as the land vests in the municipality. SPLUMA applies to all land, including tribal areas, and empowers the municipality to enforce its land use scheme through the courts. The High Court retains jurisdiction to grant interdicts, notwithstanding the alternative remedy in the Magistrate's Court under the National Building…

Francois Jurie Nicolaas Harman v Pieter Hendrik Strydom (285/2024) [2025] ZASCA 108 (18 July 2025)
The Supreme Court of Appeal held that the appellant's right to be heard was not violated by the urgent ex parte order, as multiple procedural avenues existed for him to challenge or reconsider the order, none of which he pursued. The interim orders requiring disclosure of the identities of contributors to the defamatory posts were not overbroad, as the appellant failed to demonstrate any legal or practical inability to comply, nor did he substantiate his reliance on POPIA or section 14 of the Constitution. The life-threatening nature of the posts justified the initial ex parte relief, and ind…

Boomerang Fruits (Pty) Ltd v Umkhonto Wesizwe and Others (2025/061014) [2025] ZALCCT 54 (16 July 2025)
The court found that the employees embarked on an unprotected strike without complying with the procedural requirements of the Labour Relations Act. The political party, Umkhonto Wesizwe, although denying instigation, played an active role in supporting and representing the strikers, participating in demonstrations, mediating demands, and issuing antagonistic media statements. The evidence showed that the party's involvement went beyond mere advisory support and amounted to acting as a de facto representative akin to a union. The court held that the interim interdict should be confirmed as a…
