Sidumo v Rustenburg Platinum Mines Ltd & Others 2007 12 BLLR 1097 (CC)
Facts:
Sidumo was a security guard employed by Rustenburg Platinum Mines. His duties
included searching employees to prevent theft. During a search, Sidumo failed to follow
proper procedures, which resulted in the loss of a significant amount of platinum.
Consequently, he was dismissed for negligence. Sidumo challenged the fairness of his
dismissal, and the matter was eventually taken to the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
Legal Question:
The key legal question was whether the dismissal of Sidumo for negligence was fair, and
more broadly, what the appropriate test for fairness in dismissals should be according to
South African labour law.
