Professor Barney Jordaan, adjunct faculty member of the University of Stellenbosch Business School, will serve as a mediator with the World Bank Group Office of Mediation Services.
“Prof Jordaan is among only a handful of people who are selected as external consultants to the bank based on their extensive knowledge of workplace and labour law, civil rights law, dispute resolution theory, and practice and mediation,” the school said in a statement on Monday.
Jordaan is an employment law practitioner and head of the business school’s Africa Centre for Dispute Settlement.
He will assist part-time the World Bank Group’s Mediation Offices in African countries with internal dispute resolution, primarily in a mediation capacity.
