The SIU's investigation on the Medico Legal Claims against the Department of Health. Revelations we made about unscrupulous practices by legal and health practitioners. Though there are a number of legal practitioners who have been found wanting, Minister Aaron Motsoaledi only mentioned one. 

Guest: ALDRED HONA - Eastern Cape regional director: Legal Practice Council


 The collusion between legal practitioners and health practitioners - could lack of audit and over sight be blamed - where should the health department turn to if the legal professionals are defrauding them? 


 When lawyers are fingered in such cases, what would the LPC's involvement be (I suppose this dovetails with the overall role of the LPC  


 Would it be enough for these lawyers to just be disbarred if they are found guilty (there are some who continue to offer some of legal consultancy even after being disbarred)   
 Victims who turn to lawyers and end up being defrauded by the lawyers - when lawyers commit crimes against their clients

Relations between Türkiye and the Republic of South Africa (RSA)

Guest: Reece May, Senior Associate in the Competition Law practice at leading corporate and commercial law firm Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr

For Legal feature this week we unpack the topic of unemployment and how South Africa faces one of the highest unemployment rates in the world. This is the primary reason the Competition Commission must consider the effect on employment when evaluating a proposed merger.

According to our guest this evening, it has become standard practice in South Africa when there is a merger for restrictions to be imposed by the competition authorities – especially in respect of retrenchments. Competition authorities and courts have often had to decide whether a retrenchment is due to a merger or just a regular operational change. They look at both the facts and the law, but the main focus is always on what likely caused the job cuts. Reasonably, they allow retrenchments that aren't linked to a merger. All proposed retrenchments should be disclosed in a merger filing, along with evidence as to why such job losses are not merger-specific.
