South African worker Etienne Jordaan wins court order forcing RCL Foods to pay over R3 million in compensation after 13 years of legal battles.
After 13 years of legal battles and R2.5 million in legal fees, South African worker Etienne Jordaan has won a court order forcing RCL Foods to pay over R3 million in compensation.
The Cape Town Labour Court ruled the company’s prolonged litigation tactics amounted to an abuse of process, justifying enforcement of the judgment despite an ongoing appeal.
Jordaan, dismissed in 2013, had initially been awarded reinstatement and back pay, but was blocked by repeated appeals.
After a 2025 arbitration award upheld his claim, the court enforced payment, citing his severe financial hardship, including sold assets and relocation to Ireland.
The decision highlights the risks of protracted corporate legal strategies and affirms workers’ rights to timely justice.
