Abstract

A large sector of the South African workforce is employed in the private security industry. It is however fascinating to note that there is an underlying ambiguity pertaining to the actual semantics of promotion and demotion in this industry. The semantics pertaining to the validity and applicability of previous obiter dictum and ratio decidendi, as well as the arguments for both sides will be critically analyzed herein.
