Show Notes
The Labour Court in Gqeberha upheld the dismissal of a long-serving mechanic, Gerhard Goosen, from Algoa Bus Company. Despite his thirty years of service, Goosen was fired after a bus gearbox failed following his servicing. The court found that Goosen failed to properly lubricate the gearbox during a short test drive, leading to extensive damage. The court criticized an initial arbitration for overlooking key evidence, including video of Goosen noting low oil levels after the drive. The courts decision sets a clear standard for accountability in vehicle maintenance.
