The Deputy Minister of South Africa’s Department of Employment and Labour highlighted the success of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA) and its settlement rate of around 70% in his speech discussing the evolution of the country’s labor dispute resolution mechanism following apartheid. He also emphasized the critical role of the National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC) in promoting cooperation between the government, organized labor, business, and community, and Productivity SA’s efforts to enhance productivity and encourage sustainable growth, development, and employment. The speech serves as a tribute to previous achievements and an affirmation of the ongoing determination to establish a prosperous and equitable future for all South Africans.
