About us
NBCPSS was established and registered in terms of the provisions of the Labour Relations Act of South Africa. The primary aim and purpose of the NBCPSS is to regulate, maintain, and enforce the standard terms and conditions as set out in the Main Collective Agreement (“MCA”). The Council’s mandate is set out in Section 28 of the LRA of South Africa, with key activities and guidance outlined in Section 33A thereof. The mandate is achieved through the adoption of a strategy which establishes and provides direction of the Council by assessing both the current challenges faced and where the organisation would like to be. Strategic plans include development and implementation of key policies for effective running of the Council as well as appointments of key human resources to enable strategy execution.
NBCPSS provides complete integrated solutions to all employers and employees in the private security sector; and partners with stakeholders to ensure compliance in the sector through understanding of sectoral practices and needs, educating the sector on Employment Laws, MCA and the Constitution by employing competent personnel, implementing operational systems, effectively managing finances, and addressing service requirements. Council’s Committee Members are nominated by Parties to NBCPSS and appointed at the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) on annual basis as per the Constitution of the Council.
