Hi Danielle,
As soon as I hear about the venue/s – I will post.

I have also reinstated the Gauteng members discussion group – I will feature it now – so that the Gauteng member can coordinate getting together.

This is another opportunity for the skills-universe members in the Gauteng region – and those able to travel to the region – to get together in person.

Please, we would also appreciate volunteers to give our members feedback on the meeting.

Thank you Debbie – good to hear from you – although in difficult circumstances.

Thank you Xolani and Lynel – Employees are definitely entitled to fair labour practices.
If performance is such an issue in the SETAs and there are HR people in the SETAs – do they influence and manage performance delivery?

Thank you for the clarification Lynel – that has been my concern – that there are questions about how the people matters are being handled.

On your last question – my understanding is that as stakeholders we have certain constitutional rights – to be consulted – and to fair administrative action. So the 23rd will definitely be an interesting day.

Thank you Lynel and Des,

If so will there…[Read more]

Thank you Des, I agree as I don’t see anything indicating that participants must be SA citizens or residents. So if they can make a contribution I believe we should welcome it.

Good morning & welcome to our community.

Dear Maphuthi,
Thank you for your response.

I am sorry that you and Tando have this dispute, however I do believe that other providers and facilitators can learn from your experience.

I do hope that you and Tando can successfully resolve your dispute in the new future.

Thank you Tando, I appreciate your quick response.

I read and responded to your private message before I saw that you had responded to the posting – as I suggested.

I am sure that other members will appreciate your comment on the value of an SLA.

Thank you. sylvia

Dear Maphuthi,
Thank you for posting. I have sent a private message to Tando requesting that he settle the matter immediately, otherwise I will delete his membership of skills-universe.

Please contact me if you do receive payment.

Many thanks sylvia
