Holla!
Just a reminder that Wednesday is our Featured Mediator Day so we feature a number of our Registered Panel Mediators from various regions. To feature, you must be part of our panel and your updated bio must be in by 12pm on Tuesday
The feature goes out to all our subscriber lists, my blog and our Social Media Pages on Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter
Please also look out for this weeks feature on the spiral of violence which teaches Restorative Justice mediators a model of understanding the genesis of violence and we start building an awakening for practitioners to start mobilizing at the source of violence rather than just reactive violence and redemptive violence.
Look out also, for ongoing updates on current matters and also training
Peace

JOHANN DE WET is an attorney, construction specialist and trained and accredited mediator currently registered on our panel. He says:
“I was born and raised in Randburg Gauteng ,one of five children .I am happily married to my soulmate and school love(loutjie) for the past 18 years and have three beautiful children .I am a family man.
“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God” I grew up always trying to be a peacemaker ,needless to say that when I did my articles and practised at a litigation law firm in Johannesburg ,I was totally disillusioned with the aggressive nature of the litigation process. Law was not what I perceived it to be. I then moved to property development and residential construction .After a couple of years out of practise I met a person(Koos) who introduced me to Mediation and my whole being resonated with it. I searched and came into contact with Sheena, did the mediation course and after aligning myself with a couple of like-minded people formed a mediation group.
I believe if we can draft a group of people who are not only following the process of mediation but are mediators in heart and spirit we can change our country.”
Johann is Johannesburg-based. To get in touch with him, email johann@adr-networksa.co.za
