The Court of Appeal (CoA) has dismissed a case in which a former civil servant wanted to report for duty after seven years of absence from the office. In 2016, Rotlhe Tshwaane was fired for persistent absenteeism after absconding from work for 22 months without communicating his whereabouts. During his seven-year absence, Tshwaane claimed that his logical conclusion was that his employment status remained unaffected and that he remained a government employee in good standing and entitled to report for duty.
