The South African Skills Debate: Skills Shortage or Ex*****on Challenge?

For years, we’ve been told that South Africa’s biggest barrier to growth is a severe skills shortage.

But what if the real issue isn’t the lack of skills - but how we’re executing skills development? In this article, Sabelo Myeni shares a bold and honest perspective after years of working across universities, SETAs, business schools, and training providers. He challenges the dominant narrative and outlines five critical shifts South Africa must make to unlock real economic participation and reduce youth unemployment.

This is a must-read for HR leaders, skills development practitioners, business executives, and policymakers who care about meaningful talent development.

What’s your take? Is our biggest challenge a skills shortage, or is it ex*****on and coordination?

Learners who register before 30 June 2026 will still be able to complete their qualifications - with achievement dates extended in many cases up to 2027 till 2029.

It gives your learners ample time to finish their programmes without rush, while still benefiting from the current, well-established MICT SETA qualifications.

This is especially important as South Africa transitions to the new QCTO Occupational Qualifications Framework. Registering before the cut-off ensures continuity, stability, and peace of mind for both learners and organisations.

If you have team members you’d like to develop in 2026, the coming weeks offer a valuable window to secure their place under the current framework.

Feel free to email us directly at [email protected] if you’d like more information about available programmes.

As South Africa transitions to the new Occupational Qualifications Framework, many current SETA qualifications will no longer be available for new learner registrations after 30 June 2026.

This presents organisations with an important opportunity to secure access to trusted, industry-relevant programmes that continue to support:
• Workforce development
• B-BBEE Skills Development targets
• Youth employment initiatives
• Future-ready talent pipelines

At Sisekelo Institute of Business and Technology, we are committed to helping organisations build capable, skilled, and competitive teams through quality SETA-accredited programmes.

Register your learners now while these qualifications are still available. Flexible training start dates are available to suit your operational needs.

Secure your organisation’s skills development pipeline today.

At Sisekelo Institute of Business and Technology, we don’t just offer training; we help individuals and teams build that lifelong learning habit through practical, accredited programmes that deliver lasting impact.
