LABOUR LAW VS TRADITIONAL LAW

TRADE unionists in the Northern Province are set to make history this week when they take a traditional leader before the Commission for Conciliation, Medication and Arbitration for the first time for unfair labour practices. Zebediela tribal Chief Kgoshi Sello Kekane will have to explain on Wednesday why he fired his administrative clerk immediately after she joined the Trade Union of South African Authorities. The matter will serve as a test case for tribal law versus new labour regulations.
