What started off as a conversation over lunch about a group of like-minded mediators collaborating, has grown relatively quickly into the Western Cape Society of Mediators.
At the launch on 25 March 2026, our inaugural AGM, we were honoured to have His Lordship Mr Justice Lagrange give the opening address. He emphasised the importance of litigants being advised about the various options available and the fact that the formation of the Society is indicative of a tide that is turning.
The Society provides a central platform for mediators in the Western Cape to connect, collaborate, and contribute to how mediation is understood and applied in practice.
It creates a clear opportunity to promote mediation more actively, strengthen ethical and professional standards, and engage more effectively with organisations, legal professionals, and other stakeholders.
