Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.

Anyone can be a mediator, if both of the parties agree. The mediator can't make any ruling, or demand. The mediator can only assist in the parties in coming to their own decision.
