Court Clears Manager of Harassment Claims | Johannesburg News
Description
A manager named Farida Adams was accused of sexual harassment by colleague Tracey Jones, citing hugs, kisses, and a buttock touch between August 2022 and January 2023 at Rocklands Clinic. Though the City of Cape Town appealed an initial not-guilty ruling, claiming the decision was illogical, the court sided with the original finding — emphasizing that harassment requires unwanted sexual conduct. Witnesses testified such gestures were common workplace appreciation, and Adams admitted the touch was accidental, while Jones delayed reporting and initially suspected another person. The court dismissed the appeal, upholding Adams’ innocence despite noting the chairperson’s reasoning could have been more thorough.
