Dear Stakeholders
The above matter refers.
In February we called for interested registered persons to come forward to be part of the ECSA data base of engineering Experts.
These experts would be used for investigations as well as tribunal members in disciplinary hearings.
We advertised in two newspapers however we received dismal feedback in in terms of applications.
The total application received is not even close to what we need to effectively improve turnaround times for investigations and disciplinary hearings.
