The aim is to create awareness on quality assurance requirements and the role of the PSETA as the quality assurance body delegated by the QCTO.
PSETA – SETA Application Info 2016
Public Service Sector Education and Training Authority – PSETA
The Public Service Sector SETA, more commonly referred to as the PSETA, is one of the few existing sector education and training authorities (SETAs) that is not going to be changed or revised in any substantial manner.
But the PSETA is a bit different to the other SETAs because it provides support to provincial governments rather than industry sectors. More specifically, it is aimed at providing support to provinces that were lumbered with huge backlogs from the previous government (or dispensation).
Role of the Public Service Sector Education and Training Authority
Essentially what the PSETA does is to assist provincial governments within an Integrated Provincial Support Programme (IPSP) with the aim of improving service delivery (with all its massive challenges) and extending good governance.
Initially, when the SETA programme was launched nationally throughout South Africa, the Eastern Cape, kwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo Province were targeted. Then in 2002, the IPSP was extended to assist Mpumalanga, the Northern Cape and Free State as well.
Part of the strategy needed to improve service delivery involves shared knowledge and learning opportunities. To this end, learning networks have been established with both inter-departmental and intra-departmental events organised to help educate those already involved in the provincial government sector. Some years ago a learning journal for public service managers was also launched.
So it is clear that college courses are important, as are discretionary grants and bursaries for learners who qualify and are eager to get workplace experience within provincial government. In fact all forms of education, training and learning are important, including whatever it takes to make this knowledge and the skills that go with it accessible to the people who need it.
The Integrated Provincial Support Programme
The Integrated Provincial Support Programme (IPSP) was initiated to release more funds for service delivery to the “poor”, largely by restructuring and improving governance via the regular interaction with citizens. With all the challenges service delivery nationally requires, transparency and accountability have been highlighted as key aspects.
The other challenge that the IPSP envelops is the need to be able to translate policy into action within the Batho Pele framework.
Batho Pele principles and service delivery
The South African Government’s Batho Pele principles are in many ways enshrined in the Constitution, but were developed specifically to improve service delivery in the public service.
There are eight basic principles:
- Consultation, which involves customers, users, groups, consumer representatives, HGOs and CBOs. More often than not a variety of methods of consultation are required.
- The setting of service standards that reinforces the need for benchmarks that will constantly measure satisfaction of the people for what is received from provincial government. Precise, measurable standards are required to be able to judge whether or not these are met.
- Increasing access to public services, since such a large number of people in South Africa simply don’t have access to these services. This principle recognises the fact that access to information and services empowers the citizens of the country.
- Ensuring courtesy, meaning that those operating within the provincial government sector should treat all the people of South Africa with consideration and respect.
- Providing information so that people know what to expect and what they can demand in terms of service delivery.
- Openness and transparency so that everybody knows how government institutions operate and what they can expect. This also implies that government employees are accountable.
- Redress when services are not provided as promised.
- Value for money which doesn’t usually require additional resources and often reduces costs.
The Government aims to promote “integrated seamless service delivery” within the Batho Pele policy. Both education and training are of course key.
Where to find the PSETA
The Public Service Sector SETA (or PSETA) is currently based in Pretoria, Gauteng.

Hospitality and Tourism SETA Bursaries up for grabs
CATHSSETA
Hospitality,
Tourism & Travel,
Gaming & Lotteries,
Conservation,
Sports Recreation & Fitness,
Arts Culture & Heritage
The Culture, Art, Tourism, Hospitality and Sports Seta (CATHSSETA) paid a visit to 25 of CPUT’s most promising Tourism and Hospitality Management students.
They were here to monitor and evaluate the students who are spread across various years of study and are the recipients of over R1 million in bursaries from the SETA.
The CATHSETA funds are being used to pay the students’ tuition fees, textbooks, accommodation, meals and other course related costs.
Fundraising Officer, Khumo Sebola, of CPUT’s Advancement Office, says the partnership between CPUT and the CATHSSETA has made a tangible difference to these student’s lives.
“These students now have the luxury of concentrating solely on their academic coursework, instead of stressing about textbook costs, or where their next meal will come from,” says Sebola.
“It is a sad reality that many of our most academically-deserving students are unable to complete their diplomas and degrees due to unbearable financial pressure. We’re therefore delighted to have hosted the CATHSETA on this evaluation visit, so they can see with their own eyes how beneficiaries are blossoming – all thanks to their generous funding.”
Advancement Director Calvin Maseko echoed these sentiments and expressed his gratitude to the CATHSSETA for their ongoing involvement with the CPUT.
“A bursary is definitely the gift that keeps on giving. These donations give dignity and hope to our talented students and contribute to skills development and socio-economic upliftment in our province and country.”

Students win top prizes
An innovative revamp of an existing solar cooking device has earned CPUT one of the top spots at this year International Xplore New Automation Competition.
A group of Electrical Engineering students scooped first place in the competition’s toughest category – Environment and Renewable Energy.
The team was one of 29 out of 100 selected to compete in the finals that took place in Germany earlier this month.
The team designed and built an automated solar oven power generator, a device that operates off-grid and which can be used to boil water, cook food and power a battery.
Maahir Rahmna, one of the five students in the team, says they are proud of their achievement.
“We won because we had an innovative idea,” he says.
The device is fully automated and features several new fittings, such as an engine that runs entirely on heat, a safety buzzer and several solar panels.

What they offer:
The HKF Award
An HKF award is about much more than money. We know that the financial support provided to HKF award winners will be vital in enabling students who face financial difficulties to progress to higher education. We also know that worries about money are only part of the story – our experience over the last decade has shown that offering students personal and practical support and opportunities throughout their time in higher education and beyond can improve a student’s chance of success and ultimately enhance employability. The HKF award is a package of financial, personal and practical support and opportunities designed to support transition into higher education, enhance the student’s experience at university and improve chances of employment after graduation.
What you can expect from us:
- Financial support, usually in the form of a £1500 bursary provided in instalments during your time in higher education. Most students who make a successful application to the Foundation will receive a bursary but we also offer some scholarships, in partnership with individual universities, which may be offered instead of a bursary award.
- A named contact at the Foundation, who can give advice, listen to problems, signpost to other organisations, celebrate your successes and be your point of contact for any questions and concerns.
- Access to free training sessions geared towards improving the skills you need throughout university and employment. These range from confidence building to exam preparation or IT and we are always happy to take suggestions for new sessions.
- Work Shadowing – we are aware of how difficult it can be to boost your CV when employers are always looking for something extra from potential employees. We can help organise work placements for students to help you gain experience and make contacts.
- Opportunities to voulteer within the Foundation. Click here
What we expect from you:
Being an HKF award winner is a responsibility. It is vital to the Foundation that we are able to keep in touch with our students, to find out how you are getting on and to gather regular feedback which helps us to monitor how the services we provide make a difference. Each award winner is asked, as a condition of their award, to meet the following requirements. If you can’t commit to fulfilling these conditions you shouldn’t apply for an award.
- To keep the Foundation up to date with any changes in your contact details, email address or phone number.
- To respond to requests for feedback from the Foundation within the time limit given.
- To inform the Foundation if, for any reason, you change courses or universities, or have to leave your course either temporarily or permanently.
- To update the Foundation, at least annually, on how you are getting on at university – this update can take whatever form you wish and doesn’t have to be long, we just need to know how you are doing.
- To inform the Foundation, after graduation, of what class of degree you received and what you intend to do next.
- To respond to requests for information from the Foundation as when you receive them.
- To help us to publicise our work – this could be formally, for example, by giving permission for your story to be featured in our leaflets or on our website, or being interviewed for a piece in a newspaper, or informally by telling other people about the work of the Foundation and how it has helped you. We recognise that not everyone wants to share their story and you would always be given the option, but it helps us if you are prepared to take part in this way.
IMPLATS BURSARY PLAN!

Impala
Hans Merensky first discovered platinum in the Bushveld Igneous Complex in 1924. Impala was created in the mid 1960’s to house Union Corporation’s platinum interests. At that time a prospecting permit was acquired and initial production commenced in 1969. Initially Impala mined the Merensky Reef and mining on the UG2 chromitite layer only began in the early 1980’s as the technology to smelt higher chrome ore was developed. By the early 1990’s Impala was producing in the region of 1 million platinum ounces per annum. A mining lease over land predominantly owned by the Bafokeng Tribe (now the Royal Bafokeng Nation (RBN)) was originally granted in 1968. A landmark agreement securing Impala’s access to these mineral rights for a period of 40 years was signed with the RBN in February 1999. In terms of this agreement, the RBN not only enjoyed royalties from metals mined in areas over which they hold mineral rights, but they also became a major shareholder in the holding company, Implats, with board representation. A new agreement finalised in early March 2007 resulted in the royalty being converted into equity making the RBN the group’s largest shareholder.
Impala is Implats’ primary operational unit and has operations situated on the Impala lease area on the western limb of the world-renowned Bushveld Complex near Rustenburg, and in Springs, east of Johannesburg. In FY2014, a year impacted by a five-month strike, Impala produced 411000 ounces of refined platinum. A strategic review is currently being undertaken and is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2014. The results will be communicated in February 2015.
SAMRO – CATHSSETA
SAMRO – South Africa Music Rights Organisation
CATHSSETA
The SAMRO Foundation is awarding two SAMRO/RIESA Special Undergraduate Bursaries for study in music performance for the first time.
Eighteen candidates from nine South African universities were entered for the bursaries. They included students in jazz piano, trombone, trumpet and voice, African music, marimbas, drums, voice and dance, traditional bagpipes, and Western art music piano, voice and clarinet.
The bursaries have the value of R18 000 each and are available annually to undergraduate students who specialise in music performance in the Traditional, Jazz or Western Art Music genres. Candidates for the bursaries are nominated by the Heads and relevant members of staff of music departments of South African institutions of higher education from among the ranks of their students. The candidates are required to show merit in the field of performance in one or more of these genres. The winners are chosen by the Artistic Committee of the SAMRO Foundation which takes into consideration such criteria as standard of performance, year of study and perceived financial need. In the event that there are no suitable candidates, the bursaries are carried over to the following year.
BACKGROUND
The Roodepoort International Eisteddfod of South Africa (RIESA) was a now-deregistered Section 21 not-for-profit organisation which, from 1981 to 1997, ran nine biennial international music competitions for amateur performers in Roodepoort.
In 2010, RIESA made a bequest of R700 000 to the SAMRO Endowment for the National Arts (SENA) – now the SAMRO Foundation – to establish and administer undergraduate bursaries for studies in music performance in South Africa. As with the many other bequests which the Foundation administers – including, among others, those from Ralph Trewhela, Eve Gettleson, Esme Webb, Maisie Flink, NOASA (the National Opera Association of South Africa) and Bonhams Auctioneers – the funds are invested and the interest is distributed as bursaries for music study in various fields.
