I am pleased to see some action and accountability is required. Once again I stress the SMME sector is being eroded and as an integral part of the system we must be acknowledged. Skills Development suffers and like all things in government changes are being made without consultation or without any care for the consequences. We are falling in line like puppets instead of refusing to comply.

-
Well said Des. We all know what is wrong and right. Its just greediness and power which leads people to follow unethical practices. As for the leaders, they should lead by example.
-
Thanks Des. The reason why unethical practices are on the rise is because awarding professional business qualifications institutions are giving a deaf ear. I think they should step in and withdraw one’s qualification if found to be unethical in order to remain credible and “save the lives of others” because at the end people will ask , where the professional qualifications were obtained from. The Public Protectors should be allowed to practice professionally without fear or favor.
It must be remembered that bad unethical practices or bad behavior that goes unpunished will tend to be repeated.
