ing Council for the Electrical Industry (NBCEI) has notched up
unprecedented successes in its quest to rid the electrical industry
of pirate contractors.
The ECA(SA) national director, Mark Mfikoe, who also wears
the hat of the NBCEI’s acting secretary general, says the teamhas
registered 1 235 previously unregistered employees of registered
electrical contractors and‘pirate’contractors.
Mfikoe says another 377 cases are in the legal‘pipeline’awaiting
arbitration awards – and once these have been upheld, the NBCEI
teamwill execute them“quickly and decisively”to purge the
industry of non-compliance.”
Mfikoe reveals that, in the course of the NBCEI team’s official
visits to this country’s construction sites, the“single largest non-
compliant employer”that the team found had 103 unregistered
employees.“They have all now been registered and are in good
standing.”
He says the team found another five firms that collectively had
228 unregistered employees.“
