S’boko and Gatedi have been working for Matswaiing-a-matsho (Pty Ltd (MM) on six months contracts which were renewed twice for further six months. They are earning R10 000.00 a month each. They are now left with a month to complete tenures of their contracts with MM. S’boko is worried that in the next two months they will be without jobs, but Gatedi does not seem to be worried. Instead, Gatedi tells S’boko that she must stop being worried because they became permanent employees of MM by operation of law.Discuss the correctness of Gatedi’s view of their position with MM. Include in your discussion the possible defences which MM may raise to rebut Gatedi’s view.
