In my view the CCMA was right according to Karan t/a Karan Beef Feedlot v Randall [2012] 11 BLLR 1093 (LAC), where the Labour Appeal Court held that where there is a normal or agreed retirement age and the employee has reached that age, the employer enjoys protection from that date and is entitled to terminate the employee’s contract on the grounds of age at any time thereafter.
