Loading player...
Did you know your sangoma can give you a valid sick note  and your boss has to accept it? Under South African law, traditional healers are recognised health practitioners, meaning their medical certificates carry the same weight as those from doctors. In this episode of Pro Tip, Melusi Xulu from Donda Attorneys breaks down your rights, what makes a sick note valid, and how the landmark Kiviets Kroon v Mmoledi case affirmed cultural and spiritual health as legitimate reasons for time off work.
