BusinessLive reports that three Sector Education and Training Authorities (Setas) remain under administration for various reasons.
Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande said in a parliamentary reply this week that the Culture, Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Seta (Cathsseta) had been under administration since 2014 for consistently failing to meet its objectives and not acting on the recommendations of a forensic investigation commissioned by the board. The Safety and Security Services Seta (Sasseta) was placed under administration in 2015 for poor governance, which had resulted in mismanagement of the discretionary fund and serious irregularities in a number of contracts entered into, as well as noncompliance with the Skills Development Act and its prescripts. The Wholesale and Retail Seta (W&R Seta) was the most recent authority to be placed under administration because of its decision to pull out of the initiative to support the Rural and Township Economies Revitalisation Programme, even though the programme was part of its service-level agreement. There are 21 Setas that cover all work sectors. They receive more than R14bn in ring-fenced funds annually.
