From the Help Desk

The Help Desk has always taken pride in providing outstanding customer service, however with an increase of 42% in call volumes in the last 2 months our service has created some customer frustration and for this we sincerely apologise. NCA queries are starting to settle down, we are addressing all concerns raised and have employed additional staff who are undergoing daily training to assist with the increase in calls.
In closing the help desk would like to say a very big "thank you" for the patience and understanding shown and hope to have service levels up at their normal levels soon.
What's happening at our clients?
If you want to share anything about your firm, please email us at jhbclub@korbitec.com. We will be happy to publish it on the Club.

Housebuilding project - "Habitat for humanity"
The Gauteng Legal Community Housebuild took place for the first time this year. STRB, Spoor & Fisher and Werksmans are the law firms who participated. Together with Habitat for Humanity and the community represented by KAVOSHS (Katlehong South Vosloorus Ext 20 Self Help Housing Scheme) we built three houses in Katlehong. KAVOSHS is an organisation of about 200 unemployed men and women who assist each other in seeking finance and building their own homes.

In partnership with Habitat for Humanity, an international housing organisation operating in more that 100 countires which focuses on eliminating substandard housing and homelessness, KAVOSHS has over the years built homes for thier members. Although only three firms participated in this year's build, other firms have expressed an interest in this initiative. The ultimate goal is to obtain participation from as many stakeholders in the legal community. Where three houses were built this year, we are hoping that many more will be built next year throught he co-operative partnerships between legal firms in Gauteng and local communities.
Soup Tax Day in Johannesburg
"The Mail & Guardian challenged all companies and individuals to hold a Soup Tax Day on the 31 July. The idea was to bring packets of soup to the office. These then would be distributed to schools, soup kitchens and child-headed households."
"Korbitec JHB decided to participate in the event, because we believed we should help people living on the edge of starvation."
