This discussion extends into other domains of employment. The supply and demand theory in many instances applies and yet don’t take work that is not decent work also applies. Closer to home private training providers offer R10 to R15 per credit to assess PoE’s – is that supply and demand or decent work?

Good Evening All, I would suggest forwarding your comments to the Honourable Blade Nzimande and hopefully he will then comprehend why skills development in SA finds itself in the current mess it is. The administrative beurocracy itself is a huge impediment and the goal posts keep changing for the SETA’s so I am not surprised at the challenges faced.

While the Minister has been lamenting the wastage by the SETA’s does anyone have the to date figure of what funds are held in the National Skills Fund? In addition it would be interesting to find out what the NSF has spent on training, the number of people affected and the success of the NSF’s interventions?
