Labour Court’s decision offers hope to South Africans with criminal records

The Labour Court supported Motshwene Motshwene's claim and ordered LexisNexis to honour their job offer, as the conviction was ruled an arbitrary ground of discrimination.Due to South Africa’s apartheid history, Darcy du Toit asserts that “no aspect of South African law is more vital than the prevention of unfair discrimination, particularly within the workplace”.

Although race and gender have traditionally been the primary grounds for unfair discrimination claims, the courts are empowered to adjudicate on all types of discrimination prohibited by legislation.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future. News24 has kept the country informed for 25 years, and we're about to enter a new chapter of fearless journalism.
