The Constitutional Court was delivering judgement on whether fathers may get the same number of days off for paternity leave as mothers. The current laws of South Africa grant mothers four months of maternity leave and fathers 10 days of paternity leave. She said the difference in the parental leave entitlement between birth parents amounts to unfair discrimination. She said sections 25, 25A, 25B and 25C of the BCEA and the corresponding sections under the UIF Act are unconstitutional and invalid. “The four months, 10 days to be shared among the parents as shared leave…” said Tshiqi.
