Investigating The Role Of Identity Documents In Refugees’ Access To Education In South Africa, Elvis Munyoka
Investigating The Role Of Identity Documents In Refugees’ Access To Education In South Africa, Elvis Munyoka
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
This article examined the role of identity documentation in refugees’ access to education in South Africa. Identity documentation has become a necessity in modern societies. Proof of identity is required to demonstrate who one is, and to gain access to various government services such as health care, employment, and inancial assistance. However, the role of identity documents in refugees’ access to education in South Africa has received less attention. Few studies have demonstrated that without identity documents, refugees confront multiple barriers to accessing primary and secondary education in South Africa. This article reviewed available studies and recent literature on the …

A Pandemics Treaty: A Boon For Africa, Kafumu Kalyalya
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
This article illustrates the weaknesses of the current global health framework. It highlights two pillars a new treaty regime ought to be built upon. The analysis seeks to establish how these pillars could have helped Africa during the pandemic and can indeed help Africa in future pandemics. The analysis suggests the need for a unified global health regime or pandemics’ treaty that promotes a level legal and political playing field regarding future pandemics. The treaty could focus on coordination of research and development; build a stronger global framework that reinforces legal obligations and norms; provide for universal access to medicines, …

Toyota Motors South Africa (Pty) Ltd V Numsa Obo Njini And Others (D 692/19 [2022] Zalcd 12 (14 July 2022), Stephen Nkosi
Toyota Motors South Africa (Pty) Ltd V Numsa Obo Njini And Others (D 692/19 [2022] Zalcd 12 (14 July 2022), Stephen Nkosi
SAIPAR Case Review
This was an application in terms of s 145 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1966. Toyota sought to have the decision of the CCMA, ordering the re-instatement of Mr Lungile Njini - then an employee of Toyota for 17 years – be set aside, and that his dismissal be declared fair. The case represents an interesting interplay between the quest for discipline and productivity in the workplace and the right to exercise one’s constitutional right to culture as provided for in s 30 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act. This note is divided into …

Chimanga Changa Limited V Export Trading Limited (Scz Appeal No. 3 Of 2022), Ntemena Mwanamwambwa, Chenela Mwale-Simbotwe
Chimanga Changa Limited V Export Trading Limited (Scz Appeal No. 3 Of 2022), Ntemena Mwanamwambwa, Chenela Mwale-Simbotwe
SAIPAR Case Review
The Supreme Court’s decision in Chimanga Changa has set a clear and resounding tone as well as a sound precedent in the Jurisprudence of Zambian Corporate Insolvency law, specifically in relation to how voluntary business rescue proceedings should be commenced, when they commence and most importantly that an application objecting to the commencement of business rescue proceedings pursuant to section 22(1), does not answer to the definition of a legal proceeding for purposes of effecting a moratorium within the confines of section 25 of the Act.
S V Lifumbela And Others 2022 (1) Nr 205 (Sc), Dunia P. Zongwe
S V Lifumbela And Others 2022 (1) Nr 205 (Sc), Dunia P. Zongwe
SAIPAR Case Review
The Lifumbela case stems straight from the High Treason Trial, Namibia’s longest and – probably – most expensive judicial saga. In S v Lifumbela, the Supreme Court of Namibia had to settle an appeal against the convictions and sentences of 30 accused implicated in the High Treason Trial. Despite the big stakes involved in this matter, the apex court did not manage to rise to this once-in-a-lifetime occasion and seize this historic moment.
By confirming that the appellants committed high treason, murder, and attempted murder on the basis of conspiracy (i.e., an incomplete crime), the Namibian Supreme Court upended the …

SAIPAR Case Review
The Respondent, Mr. Kapya Chisanga was alleged to have disclosed information to people, without authority. Following this, he was summarily dismissed. The Respondent challenged his dismissal in the High Court alleging that his dismissal was wrongful, unlawful, and unfair. The High Court held that the Respondent’s dismissal was wrongful, unlawful, and unfair, and granted 24 months salary as damages. The employer subsequently appealed the matter to the Court of Appeal for determination.
The Court of Appeal held that before an employer summarily dismisses an employee, the employee must be subject to a due process. According to the Court of Appeal, …
Zambia Electronic Clearing House Limited V. James Kalengo Caz Appeal No. 239 Of 2020, Chanda Chungu
Zambia Electronic Clearing House Limited V. James Kalengo Caz Appeal No. 239 Of 2020, Chanda Chungu
SAIPAR Case Review
The Court of Appeal’s decision in James Kalengo is crucial because it demonstrates that the concept of a legitimate expectation of renewal, as a principle and concept exists under Zambian employment law. Whilst an employer does retain the discretion to renew a contract of employment or not when it is due to expire, an employee may have a legitimate expectation of renewal if there is any past practice, prior promise or bad faith/mala fides in relation to the renewal.
Mark Tink And Others V. Lumwana Mining Company Limited Caz Appeal No. 41/2021, Chanda Chungu
Mark Tink And Others V. Lumwana Mining Company Limited Caz Appeal No. 41/2021, Chanda Chungu
SAIPAR Case Review
The decision in Mark Tink and Others v. Lumwana Mining Company Limited is an important decision because it clarifies and restates that law that a valid reason, that is substantiated is required when an employer initiates termination of the contract of employment.
This article critiques the approach of the Court of Appeal as it relates to the award of damages. This article seeks to provide clarity as it relates to the award of damages, particularly the way is granted and justified. It is suggested that when the opportunity arises either the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court should revise …

Molosoni Chipabwamba And 12 Other Displaced Village Owners V Yssel Enterprises Limited Appeal No.104/2020 (Zmca) 2022, Mwami Kabwabwa
SAIPAR Case Review
The issue of customary land tenure and customary land rights is an important issue that has serious implications on customary communities that occupy land under customary tenure. Considering the raising demand of customary land by both local and international investors the courts play an important role in protecting the interests and rights of customary communities and ensuring that such communities are not exploited in the alienation process of customary land and in the procedures of converting from customary tenure to statutory where it is necessary and where the benefits of converting to statutory tenure outweigh the benefits of customary tenure. …

Chief Justice Mogoeng V Africa4palestine And Others [2021] Jsc/819/20; Jsc/825/20; And Jsc/ 826/20, Dunia P. Zongwe
Chief Justice Mogoeng V Africa4palestine And Others [2021] Jsc/819/20; Jsc/825/20; And Jsc/ 826/20, Dunia P. Zongwe
SAIPAR Case Review
This is a judgment against the first judge among his peers: the Chief Justice. Handed down by the Judicial Conduct Committee (JCC) of South Africa’s Judicial Service Commission (JSC), this judgment involves the remarks made in 2020 by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng at a webinar hosted by a pro-Israel, conservative, Zionist newspaper. During that webinar, Mogoeng criticized the South African government’s official policy on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Following Mogoeng’s faux pas and a loud public outcry, three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) lodged complaints with the JCC against Mogoeng for his Israel comments.
This appeal judgment largely confirms the JCC’s earlier complaint …
Eva Chiboni V. New Future Finance Company Limited 2020/Hpc/0776, Chanda Chungu
Eva Chiboni V. New Future Finance Company Limited 2020/Hpc/0776, Chanda Chungu
SAIPAR Case Review
The decision in Eva Chiboni has been seen by some as a victory for vulnerable groups of people in Zambia, compared to bigger entities that do at time take advantage of parties with less bargaining powers. However, as this article has demonstrated, it reached an outcome not supported by principles of law, particularly those relating to the need to provide lucid and clear evidence of a vitiating factor or illegality to declare a contract null and void.
Livingstone Motor Assemblers Limited (In Receivership) V Indeco Estates Development Company And Others (Supreme Court Judgment No. 1 Of 2013), Ntemena Mwanamwambwa
Livingstone Motor Assemblers Limited (In Receivership) V Indeco Estates Development Company And Others (Supreme Court Judgment No. 1 Of 2013), Ntemena Mwanamwambwa
SAIPAR Case Review
The appeal stems from a winding-up petition filed in the High Court by the respondents seeking an order to commence winding-up proceedings as well as the appointment of a liquidator in respect of the appellant, Livingstone Motor Assemblers Limited. The latter was heavily indebted to several creditors, including the respondents and the Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZANACO) which had commenced receivership proceedings and appointed a receiver/manager extra judiciously, prior to the High Court granting the winding-up order. Disgruntled by the grant of the order, the receiver/manager made an application to vary it so that only he would retain possession of …

Standard Chartered Bank Plc V Celine Meena Nair [2019] Zmca 221, Ntemena Mwanamwambwa, Milambo Chibbonta-Pupwe
SAIPAR Case Review
This case is one of a kind and therefore significant for several reasons in the jurisprudence of Zambian Employment Law. The case highlights that the employer-employee relationship is one founded on the implied term of mutual trust and confidence which entails that both parties must accord each other due trust and respect regardless of status.
The decision in this case, sets a clear and stern tone in cases of constructive dismissal bordering on toxicity within the working environment. Thus, employers are put on notice to adhere to their own grievance procedures particularly in cases involving bullying, harassment and victimization such …

Determining The Liability For Carriage Of Goods By Road In West Africa – Can Ohada Uniform Rules On Transport Be A Foundation?, Damilola Osinuga
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development
Economic integration has been on African leaders' lips since the Organization of African Unity was created in 1963. The justification for this is not implausible — to promote regional trade and ensure economic prosperity. On January 1, 2020, African nations opened their borders to duty-free trade of goods and services under the continental free trade agreement. Transport of commodities is without a doubt essential for market access and intra-African trade. The low purchasing power of the populace and the geography of the continent, which is made up of a sizable number of landlocked provinces, favours road transportation. However, in West …

Chrismar Hotel Ltd V Stanbic Bank Zambia Ltd Scz Selected Judgment No 6 Of 2017 P. 160, Dunia P. Zongwe
SAIPAR Case Review
In the first semester of 2008, the appellant, Chrismar Hotel Ltd, needed finance to buy some equipment, including earth-moving equipment. It therefore solicited funds from the respondent bank, Stanbic Bank Zambia Ltd, with which it had held several accounts, obtained credit facilities (for example, mortgages and debentures), and established a longstanding relationship. The respondent bank agreed to lend money to the appellant hotel.
Thus, the hotel and the bank (hereinafter ‘the parties’) entered into eight distinct yet identically worded finance leases. For a total sum of 1.7 million US dollars, the eight leases each specified the amount that the respondent …
