Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A recent Labour Appeal Court (LAC) case revealed that calling a manager a \u201cracist\u201d is not automatically dismissible misconduct, as such statements must be assessed objectively in context.<\/p>\n

This was explained by employment law experts at Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr, Aadil Patel, Nadeem Mahomed and Makgane Mahlabana.<\/p>\n

The issue arose in the recent judgment of Commercial Stevedoring Agricultural and Allied Workers Union obo Vuyani Qomoyi v CCMA and Others. In this case, the LAC provided clarity on the complex issue of workplace racial accusations.<\/p>\n

The LAC unpacked the central legal question: Under what circumstances does an employee, in response to a perceived injustice, calling a manager a \u201cwhite racist\u201d constitute dismissible misconduct?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe judgment establishes that context, power dynamics, and societal history are paramount, and that such an utterance is not, in and of itself, racist behaviour,\u201d Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana said.<\/p>\n

The matter concerned a white manager and a black employee, who served as a trade union shop steward, at Namaqua Wines. The incident occurred when the employee was unexpectedly summoned by his superior to the human resources office.<\/p>\n

There, without any prior process involving the employee in his capacity as a shop steward, he witnessed the manager inform another black employee that he had been dismissed.<\/p>\n

Believing the dismissal to be unfair and procedurally flawed, the employee became engaged in a heated debate with the manager. He repeatedly called the manager a \u201cwhite racist\u201d and accused him of firing black people.<\/p>\n

Following this confrontation, the employee was charged with, amongst other things, displaying racist behaviour and was subsequently dismissed for this reason.<\/p>\n

The dismissal was upheld by a Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) commissioner and, on review, by the Labour Court, leading to the appeal to the LAC.<\/p>\n

The Labour Court and the Labour Appeal Court take two different approaches<\/b><\/p>\n

Namaqua Wines<\/p>\n

Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana explained that the primary distinction between the LAC\u2019s judgment and the decisions of the lower forums lay in the legal test they applied.<\/p>\n

The CCMA commissioner and the Labour Court adopted an approach that effectively presumed that the employee\u2019s words constituted a \u201cracist tirade\u201d.<\/p>\n

As a result, they subsequently focused their enquiry on whether the employee had any justification for this tirade.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn so doing, they failed, according to the LAC, to first address the critical antecedent question: Did the words, viewed objectively and in context, amount to racist behaviour?\u201d they explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Labour Court went further, stating that \u2018labelling someone as a racist when there is no truth, cause or justification for that label, is in itself racist\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana said the LAC found that this approach was incorrect and inconsistent with established precedent.<\/p>\n

The LAC, in contrast, confirmed that the correct legal standard is the objective test laid down in the 2018 case of Rustenburg Platinum Mine v SAEWA obo Bester and approved by the Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n

This test requires an assessment of whether a reasonable, objective, and informed person, on hearing the words and considering the relevant facts and the entire context, would perceive them as racist or derogatory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe test is not based on the subjective feelings of the person to whom the remark was made, but on an objective perception of the conduct,\u201d Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana said.<\/p>\n

The Labour Appeal Court\u2019s ruling<\/b><\/p>\n

Applying this objective test, the LAC analysed the context in which the words were uttered, Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt found that the employee\u2019s outburst was not an unprovoked attack but a reaction to witnessing what he, as a shop steward, perceived to be the procedurally unfair dismissal of a fellow black employee by a white manager,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis words were not an assertion of racial superiority or an attempt to humiliate the manager based on his race. Rather, they were an expression of his opinion and frustration regarding what he saw as an injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court stressed that South Africa\u2019s history of apartheid and the power dynamics inherent in the employment relationship cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n

It considered the history of white supremacy and the power imbalance between a white manager and a black general worker.<\/p>\n

As such, the LAC found it inconceivable that the employee\u2019s intention was to devalue the manager as a member of the white race, Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LAC concluded that the CCMA commissioner had committed a reviewable error by failing to apply the binding Bester test, and the Labour Court had compounded this error,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a proper application of the law, the employee was not guilty of displaying racist behaviour. The LAC found that using the word \u2018racist\u2019 is not automatically a racist act. The entire context must be assessed objectively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consequently, the LAC held that the dismissal was substantively unfair. The appeal was upheld, and the employer was ordered to reinstate the employee with retrospective effect.<\/p>\n

Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana explained that a few key takeaways emerge from this case. First, an allegation of racism must be assessed objectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe subjective feelings of the person accused of being racist are not the determining factor. The core question is how a reasonable, objective, and informed person would perceive the conduct in its full context,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

This case makes it clear that context is essential, and an accusation of racism cannot be viewed in a vacuum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe events leading up to the utterance, the societal and historical context and the power dynamics between the parties must be carefully considered,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

According to Patel, Mahomed and Mahlabana, the judgment also reveals that racism must be distinguished from insolence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile calling a manager a \u2018racist\u2019 may be disrespectful or insolent, it does not automatically equate to racist behaviour,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacism requires an element of prejudice, discrimination or antagonism based on race, often rooted in a belief of racial superiority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, they said this case underscores the importance of thoroughly investigating allegations of racism in the workplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen an employee raises concerns about racism, it may be more prudent for an employer to investigate the underlying complaint than to immediately discipline the accuser,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
