Vodacom v Makate: What are the implications for the review of CCMA awards?

Advocate Anton Myburgh SC and Advocate Craig Bosch presenting:

In Vodacom v Makate [2025] ZACC 13 (31 July 2025), the Constitutional Court overturned the SCA’s judgment because the SCA failed in its “duty of proper consideration” emanating from the right to a fair hearing guaranteed in s 34 of the Constitution. Given that Sidumo found that s 34 (along with s 33) applies to CCMA arbitration, the judgment potentially has implications for the review of CCMA awards
