The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA)’s efforts to expand its footprint and increase its accessibility by reaching as many Users as possible, including those in remote areas, have received the much-needed boost. This comes after the CCMA’s Director, Advocate Cameron Sello Morajane and the Department of Employment and Labour (DEL)’s Director- General, Mr. Thobile Lamati, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 30 August 2022.

The purpose of the MOU seeks to formalise the use of DEL’s labour centres as venues for CCMA matters with no cost implications. Advocate Cameron Sello Morajane said, "The formalisation of this long-standing working relationship with DEL will ensure that the CCMA will be more accessible to its Users, especially those in far – reaching areas in which the CCMA had no physical offices or footprint."
