In this episode, labour law expert Michael Begram, partner at Begram Attorneys, joins us to discuss a groundbreaking development in South African labour law — the Constitutional Court’s pending judgment on shared parental leave.

For years, maternity leave policies have limited fathers and partners from taking equal time to bond with their newborns. But that’s about to change. Michael unpacks the recent Gauteng High Court case (Van Vake) that challenged traditional maternity leave laws for discriminating against fathers and explores what the new equal parental leave ruling could mean for working parents across South Africa.

Discover how couples may soon be able to share four months of maternity leave, promoting equality, family bonding, and workplace fairness.
