Beth Din branches do what’s convenient for them to do.
According to the Johannesburg Beth Din, you cannot be a mashgiach (kosher supervisor) if you are not shomer Shabbat (Shabbat observant). According to the Cape Town Beth Din, you don’t need to be shomer Shabbat to be a mashgiach.
Seems to me there is confusion within the Beth as to what is the Din.

‘As a Dayan on the Cape Beth Din and the Head of its Kashrut Department, I was absolutely flabbergasted to read Chaim Myerson’s wild and mischievious claim regarding the Cape Beth Din’s requirements for a mashgiach. Our FIRST requirement is that a mashgiach MUST be Shomer Shabbat.
