Best Answer

In most cases yes, while this depends on your job contract. If you are an at will employee, which many people are, the answer is yes.

looking at provisions of South African Constitution of 1996; everyone is innocent until contrary is proven.

Therefore arrest does not mean guilty it actually means suspected of having committed a crime.

However in certain position where one holds managerial position you are required by employment contract to resign when you find yourself in that situation of being arrested nonetheless being found guilty or not.

No, you cannot without risking a lawsuit. There may be employment clauses associated with the position, but they have not been found guilty of the charges.
