Master Builders South Africa Distances Itself From Ceta Interdict

 14 September 2010: Master Builders South Africa, the organisation representing the Master Builders Associations and established builders in South Africa, was reliably informed that the Construction SETA (CETA) has applied for an interdict against the Minister for Higher Education and Training to prevent CETA from being placed under administration. This follows letters issued by the Department in May 2010 to four SETAs, including CETA, regarding possible appointment of administrators to manage their affairs. Master Builders South Africa is on record supporting the appointment of an administrator. The employer organisations represented at CETA, which include Master Builders South Africa, the South African Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors and Consulting Engineers South Africa (CESA), among others, have  assured the Minister of Higher Education and Training of their full co-operation and assistance in addressing the shortcomings at CETA.
 
Despite the fact that CETA achieved an unqualified audit in 2010, the first in several years, many issues in connection with weak financial administration, poor learnership management and accreditation of training providers are evidence of ongoing management ineffectiveness which is not conducive to the promotion of training in the construction industry.
