The construction industry in South Africa has indeed been facing some unique and interesting challenges since 26 March 2020 when the national lockdown was proclaimed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Similarly, the encountering of the excepted risks provided for in GCC 2015, which excepted risks include circumstances and events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, has now presented a challenge to Employers and Contractors on what is contractually due versus what is considered to be fair, whilst Employer’s Agents must decide on how to contractually hold the balance between the two contracting Parties in terms of their respective rights and the obligations.
