The Culture, Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sports Sector Education and Training Authority (Cathsseta) will review its provincial footprint and consider the establishment of provincial offices.

Pumzile Kedama, who has taken over the leadership of Cathsseta since the authority was put under administration in October last year, gave delegates a holistic overview of the Seta’s 2013/2014 performance, which included its achievements, challenges and a brief outlook of the future. He said, following the disbandment of the board, joint working committees would be established to represent all provinces and sectors.

Kedama added that Cathsseta would review all funding of events and conferences to ensure that the events in which Cathsseta took part were aligned to the organisation’s strategic objectives. Funding for all other events would be terminated.

He called on industry stakeholders to organise themselves and provide the authority with recommendations as a collective to assist in the implementation of skills development initiatives within the sectors moving forward.
