Magister Philosophiae - MPhil / The main objective of this research is to asses the effectiveness of the channels (collective bargaining and workplace forums) created by the LRA for employee‟s participation in decision making in the mining sector. Problems related to employee participation will be examined to determine whether they are structural or due to shortcomings in the LRA. If it is found that there are shortcomings of the labour legislation in this regard, recommendations on how the shortcoming can be addressed will be made. The significance of this research paper is that it attempts to determine the efficacy of the current statutorily protected channels for employee participation in the mining sector against the backdrop of prevalent theories on employee participation. Although many labour law authors have commented on the role of workplace forums in South Africa, the relative advantages of workplace forums have not been analysed through the lens of the theories on employee participation.

This study examines the employment of non-citizens within the framework of appropriate regulatory statues and constitutional dispensations, as contained in the domestic legislation of the individual countries, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Lesotho as part of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Focusing on labour law development regarding the legislative position of the employment of non-citizens, such as; immigration requirements, basic minimum employment conditions and protection of employment rights have consequently been part of Africa-China economic relations with SADC host countries. The People's Republic of China (PRC), or China, assistance and its Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) impacts SADC globalised market economies. China State and Chinese companies, increasing engagements in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa and to a lesser extent in Lesotho, through extended foreign diplomatic and bilateral trade relationships, are characterised by dominant employment of Chinese non-citizens within these host countries. Botswana and the other host countries’ labour market regulative legislation, faces the challenge of developing labour law regulating the protection of decent work, within the international ILO framework for fair and stable globalisation. Assessment of the current labour laws, and economic influences of the individual countries, would bridge the legal cultural gap and enhance sustainable economic growth. Valuable lessons learned from within the region have the potential of ensuring a more mutually beneficial outcome to the "win-win" scenario, from an African perspective, regarding China-Africa relationships. / LLM, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Magister Legum - LLM / This thesis explored the impact that Sectoral Determination 1: Contract Cleaning Sector, South Africa had on the growth of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in the sector. It critically examined the prevailing perception in industry, that labour legislation has a negative impact on the growth of SMMEs, and, evaluates the South African government's response to this perception. / South Africa

Doctor Legum - LLD / In recent years, the rights of persons with disabilities have received substantial attention both in South Africa and internationally. While certain rights have received widespread coverage, other rights have not yet been examined to determine the importance thereof for persons with disabilities and to establish the best way in which these rights can be implemented. A right which has not yet been examined in detail is the right to social protection, as guaranteed by Article 28 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Social protection involves the provision of financial support as well as certain services in order to ensure that persons with disabilities are able to participate in society on an equal basis with others. One of the essential components of the right to social protection is the provision of adequate social security for persons with disabilities. Since detailed research on the scope and content of Article 28 has not yet been undertaken, this thesis will investigate what is required of states in relation to the provision of social security in terms of Article 28 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In addition, the current provision made for social security for persons with disabilities in South Africa will be examined and evaluated. The investigation into the current social security measures for persons with disabilities in South Africa will commence with the Constitution and proceed to a detailed examination of relevant legislation. Similar legislation and policies from other jurisdictions will also be considered in order to gauge whether any lessons may be learned from the approach taken in these jurisdictions where they differ from the South African approach.

Le sportif professionnel engagé dans une relation de travail avec un club sportif est actuellement dans une situation contractuelle similaire aux autres salariés. Le contrat de travail conclu par le sportif professionnel doit obligatoirement respecter les règles du droit du travail. Toutefois, la nature sportive de l’activité induit le respect d’autres normes relatives au sport qui complexifie la mise en place d’un lien contractuel. Les règles traditionnelles du Code du travail semblent inadaptées à la situation juridique du sportif professionnel. Face à ce constat, le législateur est décidé à faire évoluer le cadre normatif relatif au sportif professionnel dans le but de simplifier et d’améliorer la relation de travail spécifique de ce dernier. L’analyse des problématiques relatives à la formation, l’exécution et la rupture du contrat de travail du sportif professionnel, au regard des évolutions législatives envisagées, permet d’apporter des réponses adaptées aux difficultés actuelles soulevées par l’emploi des sportifs. / A Professional Sportsman engaged in a working relationship with a sports club is currently in a similar contractual situation to other employees. Employment contracts concluded by a Professional Sportsman must respect the provisions of the labour legislation. However, the sports-related nature of the activity undertaken by a Sportsman implies compliance with other sports-related standards that makes the establishment of a contractual relationship more complex. The traditional rules of the Labour Code do not seem to be adapted to the legal status of a Professional Sportsman. In light of this, the legislator committed to amending the regulatory framework relating to the Professional Sportsman in order to simplify and improve this specific employment relationship. The analysis of issues related to the conclusion, execution and termination of the employment contract of a professional sportsman, in view of the envisaged legislative developments, provides specific replies to the current difficulties in relation to the employment of sportsmen.
