<p>As of 20 November 2025, GBV has been classifiedas a national state of disaster. The question remains "What now?"</p><p> </p><p>In conversation with Sabrina Walter and MerlizeJogiat of Women for Change, and Brigitta Mangale in CDH's Pro Bono and Human Rights practice, we delve into this question. The dialogue aims to amplify the voices of women, share insight and inspire meaningful action. These are thewomen doing the real work on the ground, driving change and making a meaningful difference in the lives of women.</p><p> </p><p>The discussion around the classification, implementation of policies, and the emotional burden and ancillary impacts of GBV highlights that the work is ongoing. Without continuous efforts, women will remain trapped in a system thatcultivates a persistent sense of fear. This fruitful engaging conversation provides strategies for the implementation of laws and policies, a response to thedevastating impact of GBV on the lives of women and how best we can assist activist organisations like Women for Change in fighting the scourge.</p><p> </p><p>Don't miss the opportunity to listen, learn andbe part of the movement.</p>

<p>In the latest episode of Clause & Effect, CDH’s podcast exploring the intersection of law and business, Phetha Mchunu is joined by Reece May, Director in CDH’s Competition Law practice, for an insightful discussion on the updated merger control thresholds and what they mean for businesses navigating transactions in South Africa.</p><p> </p><p>Merger control thresholds are often viewed as technical regulatory benchmarks, but in practice, they play a critical role in determining whether a transaction triggers regulatory scrutiny from the competition authorities and what obligations arise for merging parties. Phetha and Reece unpack what merger thresholds are, why they matter for deal planning, and the key legal and business considerations that companies, investors, and advisors should keep in mind when assessing transaction risk.</p><p> </p><p>The conversation explores the practical implications of notifiable mergers, common misconceptions around thresholds and regulatory approval, and the broader competition law considerations that can affect deal timelines, transaction certainty, and execution risk. Drawing on practical examples and market insight, the episode demystifies a complex topic and translates it into practical guidance for businesses operating in an increasingly sophisticated regulatory environment.</p><p> </p><p>Tune in to hear Phetha and Reece unpack the updated merger control thresholds and what businesses should know before signing on the dotted line.</p><p> </p><p>Click here to watch the videocast - <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cliffedekkerhofmeyr.com%2Fen%2Fnews%2Fmedia%2F2026%2FCorporate-Commercial%2FUpdated-merger-thresholds-public-interest-and-the-cost-of-doing-business-in-South-Africa&data=05%7C02%7Cthabita.rajab%40cdhlegal.com%7Cf93b9278b7da4b771ff908dec6ec235c%7Cb46cdc9488af46ac805b4ae55bbbd4f9%7C0%7C0%7C639166915259145874%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=j7sI%2FVr8nJhYQjRbubd09M7Ry8pKwAUTvXvQehumnis%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.cliffedekkerhofmeyr.com/en/news/media/2026/Corporate-Commercial/Updated-merger-thresholds-public-interest-and-the-cost-of-doing-business-in-South-Africa</a></p>
