President Cyril Ramaphosa has publicly recognized serious shortcomings and systemic flaws in the appointment processes for chairpersons of Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs). This admission has intensified scrutiny and demands for urgent reform, particularly following controversy over the appointment of Minister Gwede Mantashe’s son to a SETA leadership role. The issue has raised broader concerns about nepotism and political influence in state institutions.

The debate gained traction during a parliamentary session, where Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Sihle Lonzi and other lawmakers questioned the fairness, integrity, and transparency of SETA board appointments. Critics argue that the current system lacks accountability and is vulnerable to political interference, risking the credibility of South Africa’s skills development sector.

In response to mounting criticism, the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation has taken steps to address these concerns. The Minister has pledged to implement corrective measures to improve governance within SETAs, ensuring future appointments are based on merit, qualifications, and experience rather than political or familial ties.

Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Science, and Innovation has also emphasized the need to strengthen ethical governance in public institutions, particularly those overseeing skills development. The committee called for greater transparency, accountability, and fairness in appointments, stressing that these principles are vital to maintaining public trust.

Discussions are underway to amend the Skills Development Act, which governs SETAs, to enhance oversight, introduce stricter appointment procedures, and close loopholes that could enable favoritism or nepotism.

The government’s acknowledgment of these issues and its commitment to reform mark a potential turning point in restoring confidence in SETAs. The outcome of these efforts will be closely watched, as it will impact both the future of skills development in South Africa and public perceptions of the government’s dedication to ethical governance. The situation highlights the ongoing need for transparency and accountability in public appointments.
