Former Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, provoked a political storm recently when she suggested that public servants implicated in grand corruption should be given the chance to apply for amnesty. It’s not a new idea either but she appears to have misread the public mood badly. Richard Calland, Associate Professor in Public Law, University of Cape Town, explains why its such poorly timed and ill-considered proposal.

Lockdown regulations may have eased, but government has introduced more stringent regulations for workplaces. New rules have been gazetted to prevent and combat the spread of Covid-19 in South African workplaces.Michael Avery speaks to Nerine Kahn, co-founder of Employment Relations Exchange, about some of the new requirements which include the stipulation that an employer who employs more than 50 employees must submit a record of its risk assessment, as well as a Covid-19 health and safety policy, to the Department of Employment and Labour by 22 October. This new direction previously only applied to employers with more than 500 employees, says Kahn.
