To my South African family and personal friends, who know me, who together we are seeking wisdom to guide us on 29 May 2024, this phrase is a constructive message too :"Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem"= "remember to keep a clear head in difficult times" or "remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even". Vote not out of fear or with a jaundiced mind. Muslims will recall Hudaibiya, also known as the Pact of Al-Ḥudaybiyah or the Hudaybiyyah agreement,.Summarized,it was a treaty between the Islamic Ummah of Prophet Muhammad [ PBUH] and the deviant Quraysh tribe of Mecca in 628 . The treaty included the following terms: # Political recognition: Mecca recognized the Muslim community in Medina # Religious recognition: Mecca recognized the Muslim community in Medina # Ten-year ceasefire: The two sides agreed to a ceasefire. This didn't please many of the faithful for they're couldn't perform the hajj which was their main aim for advancing with their, and our, Beloved Prophet [ PBUH] who agreed to some of the most humiliating terms and conditions therein. It was in the long term that they lost track of the proverbial 'devil-in-the-details'. The fact that during its duration,Mecca as did the whole region fell to Islam,and they were free to return from exile and perform their hajj and umrah free and in safety,was lost to those who had short sighted wisdom. So when you,especially,my Muslim brethren and sistren,cast your vote remember the long term goal. Crime and corruption and service delivery failures are only short term or temporary self inflicted wounds that can and will be aggressively healed,though the scars will abide and we'll remember Madiba's cry of 'Never,Never,and Never Again' of 10 May 1994.

The judge is correct. The law is clear. Remote commissioning not permissible though practically desirable. The law is out of synch with technological advancement. To keep apace with technological developments,amend the law. What was sought here was the applicant seeking for judicial amendment and that's against separation of powers doctrine. https://lnkd.in/dTzsYYkA

This is recent reportable judgment concerns a TES[ CMC] and employee [ EUGENE VAN NIEKERK] and a client [ RTT]where the employee was deployed ito a contract of employment.There was a clause about the discretion of the TES to redeploy employee.Strange is the stipulation,in that contract, that after 3 months employee would be employee of RTT but CMC would be responsible for labour relations. Due to operational issues at RTT,on its own accord,CMC removed EVN and redeployed him with one of its subsidiaries ostensibly as a holding pattern until another placement could be arranged. CAN IT DO THAT? That placement did not materialize and therefore EVN was dismissed for operational reasons by CMC after following procedure. Arbitrator found for EVN as unfair dismissal. Matter taken on review. Open for discussion

BILL CRIMINALISING HATE CRIMES, HATE SPEECH NOW LAW! _“The offence of hate speech applies to any person who intentionally publishes, propagates, advocates, shares or communicates anything to one or more persons in a manner that could reasonably be construed to demonstrate a clear intention to be harmful or to incite harm and to promote or propagate hatred based on defined grounds. “The law also makes it an offence when speech material is intentionally distributed or made available in electronic communication, and the said person knows that such electronic communication constitutes hate speech.”_ *Read full article here* https://lnkd.in/d_eMbwUa

If you could erase all the mistakes of your past, You would also erase the wisdom of your present. Remember the lesson, not the disappointment.

New beginnings at 71? I started off as a street vendor of harberdashery outside but within the prescinct the iconic Juma Musjid-Emmanuel Cathedral- Madressa Arcade,graduated into a shop owner's assistant,before taking up employment as a shipping clerk. There were moments when I collected cardboards and bottles which I sold to recyclers. In between I studied,passed matric,actually scraped through and worked for three years before I read towards my BA, LLB at UDW. Thereafter I served articles and qualified as a legal practitioner. I also lectured in labour law at ML Sultan Technikon. In 1996 I obtained my LLM. In 2014 I qualified as a commissioner accredited by the CCMA. At 71,as restless as I was at 17,now I want a fresh start. I recall reading that if you find, as you travel down your path, that you’d like another fresh start, go ahead and make one. Make as many as you’d like. Fresh starts are a renewable resource. Granted, pressing reset isn’t always easy, remember that every day is a new opportunity to begin again. So why not. In the words of F Scott Fitzgerald 'it’s never too late to become who you want to be. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.' Retirement is not for me. Saber Ahmed Jazbhay 6 May 2024 26 Shawwal 1445

"There's a new force of nature at hand," declared veteran actor,Harrison Ford, "stirring all over the world. They are the young people whom *frankly we have failed*, who are *angry, who are organized, who are capable of making a difference*. They are a *moral army*. And the *most important thing that we can do for them is to get the hell out of their way* .https://lnkd.in/dMzuqPJk Disclaimer! While the video's caption *did not explicitly say Ford's remarks were recent or that they specifically referenced young, pro-Palestinian demonstrators* who are concerned about the people of Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war, *some users indicated in the comments they certainly believed that to be the case.*

Maulana Jalal'uddin Rumi's teachings and poetry speak of love, which infuses the world . But what kind of love did he preach about? Most certainly not the sensual-sexual kind that orientalists falsely interpret. Rumi's teachings express the tenets summarized in the Quranic verse, which,his tutor and master Shams-e Tabrizi cited as the essence of prophetic guidance: "Know that ‘There is no god but He,’ and ask forgiveness for your sin" (Q. 47:19). In Maulana Jalal'uddin Rumi's terms, tawhid (oneness of God) is lived most fully through love, with the connection being made explicit in his verse that describes love as "that flame which, when it blazes up, burns away everything except the Everlasting Beloved." He said that people should not become self centered ( don't become a drop in the ocean) but radiating unity through worshipping the One God identified as Al ( The) Lah (One) which I interpolate from his saying [ rather become the ocean in a drop]. Tested by Shams-E- Tabrez about whether Bayazid loved Allah more than Nabee Muhammad [ PBUH] he calmly answered thar Bayazid drank from a goblet of water and was content whilst Nabee Muhammad [ PBUH] drank from the Ocean but his thirst was unquenchable and he drank more and more,concluding that it was Muhammad who loved Allah more. Allah bless you for reading my post.

Good morning my learned friends. TGIF? Not really. In this case under my spotlight,refusal by employee to take a polygraph where the employer has just cause to suspect dishonesty led to dismissal. .Dismissal held on review to be fair. Go on read the judgment.
