, Discuss how the court dealt with the following issues in the case of Jafta v
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife [2008] 10 BLLR 954 (LC). Motivate your answers with
reference to sources. a) In order for Jafta to show that he had in fact accepted
the offer of employment, the common law requirements for acceptance had to
be met. List and provide a brief description of those requirements and show
how Jafta complied with these requirements. (10)
The common law requirements for acceptance of an offer typically
include the following:
1. Unconditional Acceptance: The acceptance must be
unconditional and must mirror the terms of the offer. Any additional
conditions or changes to the offer would constitute a counter-offer.
2. Communication: The acceptance must be communicated to the
offeror. Silence or inaction usually does not constitute acceptance.
Acceptance is generally effective when it is communicated to the
offeror.
3. Authorized Mode of Acceptance: The offeror may specify the
mode of acceptance in the offer. If the offeror specifies a particular
method (e.g., by email, in writing), the offeree must comply with
that method.
4. Timeliness: Acceptance must occur within the time frame specified
in the offer, or within a reasonable time if no specific time frame is
mentioned.
5. Intention to Accept: The offeree must have the genuine intention
to accept the offer. An offer cannot be accepted through fraud,
duress, or mistake.
To determine how Jafta complied with these requirements in the
case of Jafta v Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife [2008] 10 BLLR 954 (LC), you
would need to refer to the specific facts of the case and the court's
judgment, which would outline the details of Jafta's acceptance of
the employment offer and whether it met these common law
requirements. Legal analysis of a specific case requires access to
the case itself or reliable legal databases, as well as legal expertise.
