NAPSL: Proposed National Association of Public Sector Lawyers

 

The KZN Public Sector Lawyers' Forum considered the possible establishment of a formal Association of Public Sector Lawyers for KZN.

 

The KZN Public Sector Lawyers' Forum on 7 October 2004 established a Technical Committee on Investigating the Establishment of an Association of Public Sector Lawyers for KZN.

 

The Technical Committee comprised:

Chairperson/ Convenor:

Annie Rajkumar (Department of Housing, KZN): since transferred to National Department of Housing)

Members:

Navlene Thaver (Department of Economic Development, KZN)

Siza Mthethwa (Department of Finance, KZN)

Mdu Majola (Department of Social Welfare and Population Development, KZN)

Heinz Kuhn (Department of Local Government abd Traditional Affairs, KZN)

Ranveer Singh (Department of Traditional and Local Government Affairs, KZN)

 

At the previous two meetings (the last meeting took place on 29 April 2005) of the Inter-provincial State Law Advisors Forum, the idea of  "formalising the Forum" was mooted.

 

A first draft (dated 6 June 2005) of a Constitution for a proposed National Association of Public Sector Lawyers has been prepared. This first draft is based on the Constitution of NADEL.

 

Any comment or input you may have would be much appreciated, e-mail to: wolmaraj@premier.kzntl.gov.za

 

If such a proposed Association is to be successful, it would need enthusiastic support and commitment from all Public Sector Lawyers nationwide.
