The days of confinement were experienced by the youngest as captivity, a deprivation of freedom that the clients of the salon tried to bypass by working their hair freely. A symbolic exercise in which imperfection reflects the expressive power of the emotions of those days and that has led them to be the protagonists of this collection, in which they tell their story in the first person. That brings them even closer to the collective feeling hair with cuts that form triangles, a sacred geometry from which they take the impulse to be reborn and to head towards the future. Not being professional models has allowed them to show the authenticity and truth that is behind their faces, connecting with the general public. The days of confinement left us alone with ourselves and to the strangeness of what was happening outside, what we lived inside was added. It was also a state of personal alarm. After the salons were reopened, many clients confessed that during the period that the barbershop was closed they cut their own hair. They felt a need to improve their image as if taking control of their life in that time, that was more like not-time. That contact with their creativity connected them with their emotions and in those irregular and imperfect forms, a balance emerged. I have given them the leading role in this collection as a tribute. I wanted to reflect it in haircuts that were not intended for perfection, but respecting the silhouettes with sacred geometry that they unknowingly designed. That is why triangular shapes and textures that protrude are redundant. Hence the title that gives its name, the article of the Constitution that took us out of normality forever.

Managing mental health related issues in the workplace can be difficult. Employers should manage employees with mental health related issues carefully and fairly, working with, rather than against, employees with mental health related issues. This may alleviate the need to terminate an employee's employment and assist the employee in dealing with their mental illness. Mental health related issues can lead to decreased productivity and work performance, poor working relations amongst colleagues and increased sick-related absenteeism. It can also compromise workplace safety. Covid-19 has seen a refocus on mental health in the workplace. Covid-19 is, however, only an additional factor to mental health issues in the workplace. Poor working conditions, excessive or insufficient workloads and poor leadership may also contribute towards employees suffering from mental health related issues. Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health issues suffered by employees in the workplace. According to The World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 350 million people suffer from depression around the world. Around 27% of South Africans suffer from depression. It is also estimated that employee absenteeism on account of depression costs the South African economy approximately R19 billion annually. From a labour law perspective, the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) in the Jansen judgment (Legal Aid South Africa v Jansen [2020]) accepted that depression should be looked at as a form of ill health within the workplace environment. In terms of managing employees with mental health issues in the workplace, employers should adopt a proactive approach which would include: • Educating employees on mental health issues and how it may impact their work performance or conduct in the workplace; • Training managers on how to identify signs of mental health issues from employees at an early stage in order to provide the necessary interventions as soon as possible; • Supporting employees by maintaining regular communication with them; and • Encouraging employees to utilise their annual leave to rest and recuperate from time to time. Notably, employers should guard against disciplining or prejudicing employees who suffer from mental health related issues. When an employer identifies any sign of a mental health issues from an employee, an employer should first consider an informal approach in assisting the employee as far as reasonably practicable. This may include granting the employee time off in the form of sick/annual leave and/or providing counselling to the employee. Some employers have established Employee Assistance Programmes to support employees dealing with mental health issues. These Employee Assistance Programmes will not only be beneficial to the employee's well-being but will also maintain their good work performance and good conduct in the workplace. If an employer does not have an Employee Assistance Programme, employers should educate employees on institutions such as the South African Depression and Anxiety Group. Many employees suffer in silence and may be afraid to disclose their mental health issues to their employer in fear of being prejudiced or stigmatised in the workplace. To alleviate these fears, employers should create an environment that is free for employees to disclose their mental health issues before it has a negative impact on the employee’s work performance, or results in inappropriate conduct in the workplace. In turn, employees should be open to their employers regarding their mental health issues as many employers may be able to provide them with the necessary assistance. Where, however, a mental health related issue persists, and consequently impacts on the employee work performance (or conduct in the workplace), it may result in the termination of their employment due to incapacity. Insofar as depression is concerned, the LAC in Jansen expressed that depression which results in an employee becoming incapacitated may be a legitimate reason for terminating the employment relationship provided that a fair procedure is followed by the employer. The Code of Good Practice: Dismissal places an obligation on an employer to ascertain whether the employee can perform the work for which s/he was employed. If the employee is unable to perform their normal duties fully, the employer must establish the extent of the employee's incapacity and its likely duration. In Jansen, the LAC confirmed that if an employee is temporarily unable to work for a prolonged period due to depression, the employer must investigate and consider alternatives short of dismissal before resorting to dismissal. If the depression (or other mental health issue) is likely to impair the employee's performance permanently, the employer must attempt first to reasonably accommodate the employee’s disability. This may be ascertaining whether alternative work can be found for the employee, even if it is at reduced remuneration. In addition to the above, procedural fairness will entail that the employee has been properly counselled and the impact of their mental health issues on their performance or conduct has been discussed with them. An employee must also be provided with a fair opportunity to contest the employer's conclusions about their mental health issues. ​ EOHCB www.eohcb.co.za/contact-

Contributed by Vittorio Russolillio A Cape Town Fixture in the SA Hair Industry for almost 50 Years We are pleased to share his story on what would have been his birthday as a celebration of his life, as a tribute to Dino Russolillo in celebration of his life and contribution to the South African hair industry. Dino arrived from Italy to South Africa in the 1970’s looking for a new future. Born and raised in Italy post World War 2, things weren’t always easy, but despite the hardships Dino made himself a success by working in salons in Rome before coming to South Africa with his Fiat 500. On his arrival, he established himself as a stylist. There were many subsequent adventures, included driving that little Fiat 500 up to Zimbabwe with enough petrol money only to go one way, arriving with no job on offer but quickly finding some work and the many stories that followed. In 1970 he began his South African styling career with Paioni’s in Cape Town at the Garlicks department store CBD, and in 1972 he opened his first Salon called “Tosca” in Cavendish Square. The salon’s name originates from one of his favorite Italian operas. Over the years this business grew and expanded to many more successful salons. The best known was Tyger Valley, opened in 1986, where he spent over 20 years working as the business grew. He became somewhat of a local celebrity and many clients of the center have stories involving Dino. Throughout the years he ventured into other businesses including leather and Italian kitchens but always stayed focused on his passion for hair. He joined Intercoiffure and became a treasured team member, introducing new ideas like the “approved by Intercoiffure sticker” for retail of supporting brands. In 2012 he sold Tosca but continued enjoying his lifelong passion in styling from a small location close by. He was lucky enough to have some very close working colleges over the years and despite up and downs, there were always great stories and some laughs. From Andy (Schwarzkopf Sales Representative): “In a world where words like legend, icon etc are freely bandied around, Dino was a true ambassador for his craft. Passionate, knowledgeable, quirky generous and edgy in one dynamic package. All this with a ready smile and twinkle in his eye. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known you for 20 years and call you my friend.” From his son Vittorio: “My father a person with a small frame but huge in personality and enough confidence to fill the room. My favorite quote of his: ‘Math’s not an opinion, it’s a fact’. He and his energy will be missed by so many.” Many Cape Town stylist have worked with Dino through the years and we would like to celebrate his contribution to the industry and the impact he made.
