MRL3702 Assignment 2 (ANSWERS)
Semester 2 2023 - GUARANTEED
DISTINCTION
DUE ON SEPTEMBER 2023
Legotla works for Tse-Ntsho (Pty) Ltd (TS) as a data capture. To do her work efficiently, she needs an
advanced computer system fitted with the relevant software as a standard resource for data
capturing. Earlier in the year, TS requested all employees to indicate all they need to do the job.
Legotla indicated that she needs an advanced computer system fitted with the necessary software for
data capturing work. Eight months later, no such equipment is supplied despite the queries she made
almost every month. In other words, Legotla has been working with an ill-equipped computer. During
the year-end performance assessment of the employees (assessment annually conducted to
determine the performance of each employee) Legotla' s performance was found wanting, was
disciplined, and punitively suspended from work for poor performance. Legotla approached you for
legal advice arguing that performing higher than what she did was just not practically possible
because, the equipment she used was not fit for the purpose.
Answer the following questions with reference to applicable legal authority:
(i) Explain the concepts ‘punitive suspension’ and the fairness of it as used in the case of Legotla. (5)
Punitive suspension refers to the temporary removal of an individual from their position or role
as a form of punishment for misconduct or violation of rules. In the case of Legotla, punitive
suspension was used as a disciplinary measure due to Legotla's alleged involvement in
misconduct.
The fairness of punitive suspension depends on several factors, including the following:
1. Due process: Fairness requires that the individual is given an opportunity to present
their case and defend themselves against the allegations. Legotla should have been
provided with a fair and impartial hearing, where they could present evidence and
arguments in their defense.
