The KwaZulu-Natal Society of Mediators is a group of like-minded mediators who practise in KwaZulu-Natal, and who subscribe to the Society’s Constitution and Code of Professional Conduct. The Society was officially established at its first AGM in 2019 in order to provide an umbrella body to mediators in KZN, to promote and advance the use of mediation in the settlement of disputes, and to ensure that high standards of mediation in KZN are upheld. Our panel of mediators are involved in mediating disputes in many areas, including those involving family, divorce, commercial, labour and community conflict.

The KZN Society of Mediators is one of the founding member organisations of the Association of Dispute Resolution Practitioners of South Africa (ADRPSA) which has the support of many mediation organisations in the country, to become the regulatory body for mediation in South Africa.

In addition, the Society is a member organisation of NABFAM (the National Accreditation Board for Family Mediators) and three of our members sit on the NABFAM Board. This ensures that our mediators who specialise in family and divorce mediation comply with the national minimum requirements for family and divorce mediation and are regarded as NABFAM-accredited.
