Lighting control and Energy Management

Energy SETA placed under administration
After many years of both the ECA(SA) and employers having to deal with the dysfunctional Energy SETA, it was placed under administration on 17 September 2010. The director general of the Department of Higher Education, Prof. Mary Metcalf, by notice in the Government Gazette has suspended all members of the board and the operation of the ESETA's constitution. Accordingly, all of its committees are also suspended. The chief executive officer was also dismissed by the accounting authority before that date.

Tsakani Matshazi has been appointed as the administrator for six months, and her appointment will be reviewed on the expiry of that period. She will have all the powers, rights and duties that previously rested with the accounting authority.

The ECA(SA) has been asked by the administrator to meet with her regarding its specific requirements, to ensure that skills and educational instruction within the sector are developed, implemented and approved. Hopefully a meeting will take place shortly, and extensive training will once again take place to address the current skills shortage
