The democratic election of 1994
opened a new era for South Africa. It was the decisive step in the
transition to democracy. Now our country must meet the challenges
of social development and economic growth. The National Economic
Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) is the vehicle by which
government, labour, business and community organisations will seek
to cooperate, through problem-solving and negotiation, on economic,
labour and development issues, and related challenges facing the
country.
Mr Alistair Smith: Greetings to you and welcome
to our website
On the 3rd of October 2011, I officially accepted the
responsibility of being the new Executive Director of NEDLAC,
taking over the reins from Mr Herbert Mkhize who had been at the
helm of NEDLAC since 2003.
Mr Mkhize contributed immensely to social dialogue and social
partnership in South Africa. I take this opportunity, on behalf of
the NEDLAC Executive Council and members of the NEDLAC secretariat,
to wish him well in his future endeavours.
