IMATU WINS AGAIN

Labour Court Dismisses City of Cape Town's Application for Leave to Appeal -
Member's Reinstatement Victory Upheld

IMATU is pleased to report a further victory for our member in the matter of IMATU obo Sauls v City of Cape Town and Others.

Following the Labour Court's January 2026 judgment, which found the member's dismissal substantively unfair and ordered his reinstatement, the City of Cape Town applied for leave to appeal the decision.

On 9 June 2026, the Labour Court dismissed the City's application for leave to appeal, finding that there were no reasonable prospects that another court would reach a different conclusion.

This outcome confirms the strength of the original judgment and reinforces important labour law principles, including that employers must prove a genuine link between off-duty misconduct and the employment relationship, and that dismissal cannot be justified on speculation or assumptions.

This matter reflects IMATU's continued commitment to protecting members' rights, ensuring fair disciplinary processes, and pursuing justice through every stage of litigation.
