The state of business rescue in South Africa

Belinda Scriba, Director in our Dispute Resolution practice joined Newzroom Africa to discuss the state of business rescue in South Africa. One of the major concerns raised is that the country may not have enough business rescue practitioners for the companies already in business rescue, let alone those rescues that are anticipated as a result of the latest civil unrest experienced in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

From conflict to resolution: Insights into traditional global mediation practices

Conflict is a natural part of human interaction, and different cultures have developed unique dispute resolution strategies to address disputes in ways that align with their traditions, values, and social structures. While some approaches focus on formal legal procedures, others emphasise relationships, morality, or community harmony. As a country practically at its infancy in its journey into the more formalistic mediation space, South Africa should continuously seek insight into various techniques employed to resolve disputes through mediation. As an alternative source of knowledge wealth, we look to certain jurisdictions where dispute resolution through mediation is steeped in long-standing tradition. Of particular interest for this article are the more traditional mediation strategies employed by communities in Eastern Asia and North America.
