Arbitration (CCMA) power cables
1 November 2007
The CCMA national office experienced a fire in its building in Harrison
Street, Johannesburg, on Wednesday, 31 October 2007. The fire damaged all the
power cables in the building, the Department of Labour has announced. CCMA
Director Nerine Kahn said, "the effect is that the national office and its call
centre are not operational. More importantly, the CCMA regional offices are not
able to process cases electronically nor receive emails."
Kahn added that the KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape offices have limited
electronic facilities, but all regional offices are operational and continue to
receive case referrals and conduct scheduled hearings. "However, there is a
potential for delays in some areas and we request the public to accommodate
these," cautioned Kahn.
The CCMA will issue a further media release once all services return to
normality.
