Facts of the Case
Background
A labour officer ordered Medix Self-Care Pharmacies to pay US$2,300-00 compensation to Mr Eury Maphosa for loss of employment after his contract was terminated on notice. The pharmacy opposed confirmation of this ruling, arguing that the Labour Amendment Act No 5/15 which mandates such compensation was not yet in force when the termination occurred on 7 August 2015.
