An Examination of the Employer's Right to Withhold Employee Pension Benefit in South Africa The sole aim of a Fund is to give assistance to the employees to save for their retirement. An employee becomes a member of the Fund, usually when the employer requires or allows it, and the employee is then a member of the Fund, which is a legal entity separate from the employer, and also regulated by a completely different set of laws than the employer. It is of paramount importance to understand the legal principles that distinguish a retirement fund from the employer. The Role That Has Been Played by Law in Perpetuating the Gruesome Culture of Police Brutality in Modern South Africa The use of force by the police officers is supposed to be proportionate to the suspect's conduct, weaponry or dangerousness. The legislation gives police officers lesser power to use force, however this depends on the circumstances of each case. There are cases, which are reported and although the majority of such cases are isolated incidents, they nonetheless point to the brute behaviour, which in itself perpetuate or indicate a systemic problem that needs to be dealt with.
