3. CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT

Building on the 2012/2013 financial year, 2013/2014

was again a successful year for agriculture.

Rural Youth

The 2012/2013 financial year was a year in which we achieved much

and implemented a number of programmes that form part of the new

direction initiated by the Accounting Authority. These include our

Sector Education Training Authorities (SETA's) contribution towards

rural development, youth support and empowerment as well as

support to agricultural colleges. However, it was also a year when we

had to make some adjustments in order to comply with a directive by

the Minister of Higher Education and Training for the SETA’s to

contribute towards the infrastructure upgrading of the colleges. These

matters are discussed in more detail in this annual report.

In my previous report (included in the 2012/2013 annual report), I

indicated that we were very concerned about the possible impact on

income for 2013/2014 of the strikes that took place within the

agricultural sector towards the end of 2012 and the beginning of

2013. This had raised the possibility of large-scale retrenchments as

a result of the 54% increase in the minimum wage, and we expected

that any income growth would be off-set by a reduction in payroll

expenditure as a result of the expected retrenchments. We also

indicated that we would constantly review the situation during the course of the 2013/2014 financial year.

I am pleased to report that our concerns were dispelled by a very strong growth in income, which in actual fact is the

highest year on year growth achieved since the inception of AgriSETA. Using the 2012/2013 financial year as a basis,

our income grew by more than 20%. This is very good news for the SETA that is responsible for facilitating and, where

necessary, funding training initiatives. In short, we will have more funds to distribute to a very needy sector. We were

able to approve additional funding not only for the training of employed workers (to advance their skills to make them

more productive), but also for what we affectionately refer to as our very large and diverse under-resourced sector, such

as small-scale farmers, new farmers and those not generally able to access the commercial sector.

We were able to activate numerous projects aligned to our planning and to activate additional initiatives as a result of the

growth in income. A few of these are outlined below, and more detailed performance information and figures appear

elsewhere in this annual report.

The first area is that of rural youth, co-operatives and agricultural colleges. Referring back to my 2012/2013 report, I

instructed the management of the AgriSETA to focus clearly on these three drivers of the rural economy. AgriSETA has

in place a number of initiatives that are aimed specifically at supporting rural youth. An analysis of AgriSETA's

performance figures shows that substantially more than 50% of all people/learners benefitting from AgriSETA learning

programmes are under the age of 35 years. However, we recognise the need to do more in this regard and to ensure

more directly focused programmes for the benefit of young people. It was in this context that we joined hands with the

Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) to support this department in selected National Rural

Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) projects which are relevant to the agricultural sector. Over and above our normal

discretionary fund initiatives, we trained a further 338 NARYSEC young people to enable them to not only participate, but

take a leading role in implementing the FarmTogether programme, which is aimed at capacitating small rurally based

agricultural co-operatives. We are also in the process of finalising negotiations with the DRDLR to expand the

programme in 2014/2015.

Professor Gilingwe MayendeChairperson of the Accounting Authority

Also, as a special initiative dedicated to the youth, we responded positively to the directive by the Minister of Higher

Education and Training to SETAs to create workplace learning opportunities for Further Education and Training (FET).

College graduates who are still without any form of employment. We decided to support this initiative and integrate it

with our agricultural college development programme. In this regard, we identified 234 FET College graduates (in

agriculture or related fields) and placed them at agricultural colleges to gain workplace exposure. Furthermore we

challenged each of the 12 agricultural colleges to identify two of their former successful learners who are unemployed

and place them back at the college as interns. A total of 16 former agricultural students were exposed during the course

of the year.

Co-operatives are very important structures in rural society which need to be strengthened and capacitated. This is

particularly the case within the context of agriculture, where co-operatives have the potential to create critical mass and

allow rural farmers to enter the commercial market and thereby break the cycle of poverty.

In conjunction with the DRDLR a total of R10 million was invested in the development of co-operatives specifically. Note

that this is over and above the substantial investment made by the AgriSETA from its discretionary fund to enable co-

operatives to perform better. I am glad to be able to report that through this dedicated project we reached out to 236

agricultural cooperatives and 2009 cooperative members through the Farm Together programme.

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) engaged intensively with the SETAs on a programme of

forging closer linkages between the SETAs and FET colleges. From the AgriSETA's perspective, we believe that the

country's 12 agricultural colleges should be an important starting point in this regard. We therefore initiated a process of

engagement with these institutions with the aim of identifying and developing mutual and synergistic areas of co-

operation on practical programmes in the field of skills development. These colleges are essential to the development of

future farmers and agricultural leaders, and we therefore feel duty-bound to support them in their quest to become more

effective players in the skills development landscape. It goes without saying that we will broaden this process to include

other FET colleges over time.

To kick-start this process, the AgriSETA earmarked a total of R6 million to assist agricultural colleges with capacity-

building initiatives. Each college was invited to submit its own motivation for funds to support relevant initiatives. I am

glad to report that all of these colleges are participating in this initiative.

Other, more detailed initiatives are reported by the CEO and various departmental managers.

A number of unexpected challenges arose during the course of the year under review.

Firstly, we had to contribute R24 million to DHET's programme of providing support to FET Colleges. A second challenge

is the cap placed on the expenditure of certain public entities, which include the SETAs. This has posed the possibility of

under-expenditure and posting a surplus as from next year. In the case of the AgriSETA this capping is likely to result in

a surplus of between R40 million and R60 million during the coming financial year. This is a major challenge that the

Accounting Authority has decided to focus upon.

Conclusion

In conclusion I would like this opportunity to thank those who assisted me in taking this SETA forward.

• Firstly, I have to thank the Minister of Higher Education and Training and his officials for the positive manner in which

we interacted during the past year. I believe that to make the skills revolution happen, we need to do so in a

partnership. I think we did so successfully. We look forward to working with you during your next term of office.

• I also need to convey my gratitude to the government departments we work with closely. In particular I would like to

single out the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), with which we interact on a regular basis,

and the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, with which we execute joint projects. These projects

(such as Farm Together and the youth project) were discussed earlier by me. We need to continue with these

projects and expand on them.

• Our stakeholders, levy payers and other role-players. You are the backbone of the AgriSETA. You are the reason for

our existence. Through annual road shows and other interactions we attempt to work in close collaboration with you.

Our funding base limits our ability to be everywhere all the time, and hence we invite you to engage with us, criticise

us and guide us - we are here to serve your needs.

• My fellow Accounting Authority members. You are the strategic decision makers; I only guide. For your efforts and

dedication I thank you. I am very aware of the many meetings which had to be arranged at short notice - you were

always there for the SETA. I applaud you.

• I would like to express my thanks to the Accounting Authority standing committees as well. You are an extension of

the Accounting Authority and you are the structures that really provide the guiding inputs. I thank you and appeal to

you to continue with your functional oversight of the various focus areas of the SETA.

• Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and staff. You are always mentioned last, but you are in no way the least. We can

strategise and plan as we wish, yet if the operational part is not there it will not be possible to activate any of the

strategies or plans. I know of long and hard working hours. I know of many travels and being away from home. I

know of special efforts to achieve predetermined goals. In a nutshell: I value your efforts. Let us continue to be

one of the best SETAs and let us make it our aim to silence those who so actively oppose the existence of SETAs.

Together, let us turn every workplace into a training space.

Thank you

3. VOORSITTERSVERSLAG

2013/2014 het voortgebou op 2012/2013 en was weereens 'n suksesvolle jaar vir die

landbou.

Landelike jeug

Die 2012/2013 finansiële jaar was jaar waarin ons baie vermag het en aantal programme geïmplementeer het wat

deel vorm van die nuwe koers wat deur die Beheerraad geïnisieer is. Dit sluit ons SETA se bydrae tot landelike

ontwikkeling in, ondersteuning van die jeug en bemagtiging sowel as ondersteuning van landboukolleges. Dit was egter

ook 'n jaar waarin ons enkele aanpassings moes maak ten einde gevolg te gee aan 'n aanwysing van die Minister van

Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding dat die SETA's moet bydra tot die opgradering van die kollege-infrastruktuur. Hierdie

aangeleenthede word in meer besonderhede in hierdie jaarverslag bespreek.

In my vorige verslag (ingesluit in die 2012/2013-jaarverslag) het ek aangedui dat ons baie besorg was oor die uitwerking

wat die stakings wat aan die einde van 2012 en die begin van 2013 in die landousektor voorgekom het, op die inkomste

vir 2013/2014 sou kan hê. Die moontlikheid het bestaan dat die verhoging van die minimumloon tot 54% tot grootskaalse

afdankings kon lei, en ons het verwag dan enige groei in inkomste uitgekanselleer sou kan word deur kleiner

betaalstaatuitgawes as gevolg van die verwagte afdankings. Ons het ook daarop gewys dat ons die situasie in die loop

van die 2013/2014 finansiële jaar deurlopend sou dophou.

Ek is bly om te kan rapporteer dat ons kommer verdryf is deur baie sterk inkomstegroei – inderdaad die grootste toename

op 'n jaarbasis sedert die AgriSETA tot stand gekom het. Vergeleke met die 2012/2013 finansiële jaar het ons inkomste

met meer as 20% toegeneem. Dit is baie goeie nuus vir die SETA wat verantwoordelik is vir die fasilitering en, waar

nodig, die befondsing van opleidingsinisiatiewe. Kort gestel: ons sal meer fondse beskikbaar hê om aan 'n baie

behoeftige sektor uit te deel. Ons was in staat om bykomende befondsing goed te keur, nie net vir die opleiding van

aangestelde werkers nie (ten einde hul vaardighede te verbeter en hulle sodoende produktiewer te maak), maar ook vir

wat ons gemoedelik ons baie groot en uiteenlopende onderbefondsde sektor noem, soos kleinboere, nuwe boere en dié

wat normaalweg geen toegang tot die kommersiële sektor het nie.

Die inkomstegroei het ons in staat gestel om benewens talle projekte wat met ons beplanning strook, ook verdere

inisiatiewe te aktiveer. Enkeles hiervan word hieronder geskets; nadere prestasie-inligting en syfers verskyn elders in

hierdie jaarverslag.

Die eerste area is dié van die landelike jeug, koöperasies en landboukolleges. In my verslag oor 2012/2013 het genoem

dat ek die AgriSETA se bestuur opdrag gegee het om skerp op hierdie drie dryfkragte van die landelike ekonomie te

fokus. Die AgriSETA het 'n aantal inisiatiewe wat spesifiek op die ondersteuning van die landelike jeug toegespits is. 'n Ontleding van die AgriSETA se prestasie syfers toon dat wesenlik meer as 50% van alle mense/leerders wat by

AgriSETA-leerprogramme baat, minder as 35 jaar oud is. Ons besef egter dat dit nodig is om meer te doen in hierdie

opsig en om meer direk gefokuste programme tot voordeel van jongmense daar te stel. Dit was in hierdie verband dat

ons en die Departement van Landelike Ontwikkeling en Grondhervorming (RDLR) hande gevat het om hierdie

departement te help om projekte van die Nasionale Landelike Jeugdienskorps (NARYSEC) te kies wat vir die

landbousektor van belang is. Bo en behalwe ons diskresionêrefondsinisiatiewe het ons 'n verdere 338 NARYSEC-

jongmense opgelei om nie net deel te neem aan die Farm Together-program nie – wat beoog om klein landelike

landboukoöperasies te versterk – maar ŉ leidende rol in die implementering daarvan te speel. Ons is ook besig om

onderhandelings met die DRDLR af te rond om die programme in 2014/2015 uit te brei.

As 'n spesiaal op die jeug afgestemde inisiatief het ons positief gereageer op die aanwysing van die Minister van Hoër

Onderwys en Opleiding dat SETA's leergeleenthede in werksplekke moet skep vir graduandi van VOO-kolleges (verdere

onderwys en opleiding) wat nog nie formeel in diens geneem is nie. Ons het besluit om hierdie inisiatief te ondersteun en

dit met ons program vir die ontwikkeling van landboukolleges te integreer. In hierdie verband het ons 234 VOO-

'n 'n

kollegegraduandi (in landbou of verwante gebiede) geïdentifiseer en hulle in landboukolleges geplaas om werkservaring

op te doen. Ons het ook die 12 landboukolleges uitgedaag om twee van hulle voormalige suksesvolle leerders wat

sonder werk sit, as interns in die kolleges aan te stel. In die loop van die jaar het 'n totaal van 16 voormalige

landboustudente blootstelling geniet.

Koöperasies is baie belangrike strukture in die landelike samelewing wat versterk en bemagtig moet word. Dit geld veral in die landboukonteks, waar koöperasies die potensiaal het om kritieke massa te skep en landelike boere kan toelaat om die kommersiële mark te betree en die siklus van armoede te deurbreek.

In samewerking met die DRDLR is 'n totaal van R10 miljoen spesifiek in die ontwikkeling van koöperasies gesteek. Let

daarop dat dit bo en behalwe die aansienlike bedrag is wat die AgriSETA uit sy diskresionêre fonds belê het om

koöperasies beter te laat presteer. Ek is bly om te kan rapporteer dat ons met hierdie toegewyde projek na 236

landboukoöperasies en 2009 koöperasielede kon uitreik by wyse van die Farm Together-program.

Die Departement van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding (DHOO) het intensiewe kontak gehad met die SETA's oor 'n program

om nouer bande tussen die SETA's en VOO-kolleges te smee. Vanuit die SETA's se perspektief glo ons dat die land se

12 landboukolleges hier 'n belangrike vertrekpunt behoort te wees. Daarom het ons 'n proses van oorlegpleging met

hierdie instellings geïnisieer ten einde onderlinge en sinergistiese samewerkingsgebiede te identifiseer en te ontwikkel

met betrekking tot praktiese programme om vaardighede te ontwikkel. Hierdie kolleges is noodsaaklik vir die ontwikkeling

van toekomstige boere en landbouleiers, en ons voel dus verplig om hulle te ondersteun in hul strewe om meer

effektiewe spelers op die gebied van vaardigheidsontwikkeling te word. Dit spreek vanself dat ons hierdie proses sal

verbreed om mettertyd ander landboukolleges in te sluit.

Om hierdie proses van stapel te stuur het die AgriSETA het 'n totaal van R6 miljoen opsy gesit om landboukolleges met

kapasiteitsbouende inisiatiewe by te staan. Elke kollege is genooi om sy eie motivering ter ondersteuning van relevante

inisiatiewe voor te lê. Ek is verheug om te rapporteer dat al hierdie kolleges aan hierdie inisiatief deelneem.

Die HUB en onderskeie departementsbestuurders lewer verslag oor ander, gedetailleerde inisiatiewe.

In die loop van die verslagjaar het verskeie onverwagte uitdagings opgeduik.

Eerstens moes ons R24 miljoen bydra tot die DHOO se program vir die ondersteuning van VOO-kolleges. 'n Tweede

uitdaging is die beperking van die besteding van sekere openbare entiteite, waaronder die SETA's. Hierdie beperking kan

tot onderbesteding lei, en dus tot 'n oorskot vanaf volgende jaar. In die geval van die AgriSETA sal hierdie perk

waarskynlik tot 'n oorskot van tussen R40 miljoen en R60 miljoen in die komende finansiële jaar lei. Hierdie is 'n groot

uitdaging waarop die Beheerraad besluit het om te fokus.

Ten slotte wil ek van hierdie geleentheid gebruik maak om diegene te bedank wat my gehelp het om hierdie SETA

vorentoe te neem.

• Eerstens moet ek die Minister van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding en sy amptenare bedank vir die positiewe wyse

waarop ons die afgelope jaar met mekaar geskakel het. Ek glo dat ons as vennote moet optree om die

vaardigheidsrevolusie te laat plaasvind, en dat ons dit met sukses gedoen het. Ons sien daarna uit om met u

saam te werk tydens u ampstermyn.

• Ek moet ook my dank uitspreek teenoor die staatsdepartemente waarmee ons so nou saamwerk. Hier wil ek veral die

Departement van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye uitsonder, waarmee ons op 'n gereelde basis geskakel het, en die

Departement van Landelike Ontwikkeling en Grondhervorming, waarmee ons gesamentlik projekte uitvoer. Hierdie

projekte (soos Farm Together en die jeugprojek) is vroeër deur my bespreek. Ons moet voortgaan met hierdie

projekte en daarop uitbrei.

• Ons belanghebbendes, heffingbetalers en ander. U is die AgriSETA se ruggraat. U is ons bestaansrede. Deur

jaarlikse bekendstellingstoere en ander optredes probeer ons nou met u saamwerk Ons befondsingsbasis beperk

ons vermoë om heeltyd orals te wees, en daarom nooi ons u om met ons te skakel, ons te kritiseer en rigting aan te

dui – ons is hier om in u behoefte te voorsien.

• My medelede van die Beheerraad. U is die strategiese besluitnemers; ek is bloot die gids. Vir u inspanning en

toewyding sê ek baie dankie. Ek is terdeë bewus van die talle vergaderings wat op kort kennisgewing gereël moes

word – u was altyd daar vir die SETA. Ek dank u.

• Ek spreek graag my dank aan die Raad ook teenoor die staande komitees uit. U is 'n verlengstuk van die Raad en

vorm die strukture wat die daadwerklike leidende insette lewer. Ek bedank u en doen 'n beroep op u om u funksionele

toesig oor die SETA se verskillende fokusareas voort te sit.

• HUB en personeel. U word altyd laaste genoem, maar is geensins die minste nie. Ons kan strategie bepaal en beplan

soveel ons wil, maar as die operasionele deel nie daar is nie, is dit onmoontlik om enige strategie of plan te aktiveer.

Ek weet van lang ure se harde werk. Ek weet van baie reise en weg wees van die huis. Ek weet van spesiale

Inspanning om gestelde doelwitte te bereik In 'n neutedop: Ek waardeer u moeite Kom ons bly steeds een van die

beste SETA's, en kom ons stel dit ons ten doel om diegene wat die bestaan van die SETA's so aktief teëstaan, die

mond te snoer.

Kom ons omskep elke werksplek in 'n plek van opleiding.

Dankie

Ngiyajabula ukubika ukuthi ukukhathazeka kwethu kwaqedwa ukukhula okunamandla kakhulu kwemali engenayo, empeleni okuwukukhula okukhulu kakhulu okufinyelelwe ngonyaka kusukela kwasungulwa i-AgriSETA.Uma sisebenzisa unyaka wezimali ka-2012/2013 njengesisekelo, imali yethu engenayo yakhula ngenani elingaphezu kuka-20%.Lezi yizindabe ezinhle kakhulu e-SETA okuyiyona enomthwalo wokusiza, futhi lapho kudingeka khona, wokuxhasa ukuqeqeshwa okuyisinyathelo.Kafushane nje, sizoba nezimali eziningi esizozisabalalisela embonini eswelekakhulu.Sakwazi ukuvumela ukuba kutholakaleimali eyengeziwe, hhayi nje eyokuba kuqeqeshwe abasebenzi abaqashiwe kuphela (ukuze bathuthukise amakhono abo ukuzebakhiqize kakhudlwana), kodwa neyalokho esikuteketisa ngokuthi imboni yethu enkulu kakhulu nehlukahlukene ethola imali encane, njengabalimi abalima ngezinga elincane, abalimi abasha nalabo ngokuvamile abangakwazi ukungena embonini yokulimela ukuthengisa.

Sakwazi ukwenza amaphrojekthi amaningana asebenze ahambisane nokuhlela kwethu futhi saqalisa imizamo eminingana ngenxa yokukhula kwemali engenayo.Okumbalwa kwalokhu kushiwo lapha ngezansi, futhi ulwazi oluningiliza kabanzi mayelana nokusebenza kanye nezibalo luyatholakala kulo mbiko.

Indawo yokuqala eyentsha yasezindaweni zasemakhaya, imifelandawonye kanye namakolishi ezolimo.Uma ngibhekisela emuva embikweni wami wango-2012/2013, ngayala abaphathi be-AgriSETA ukuba bagxile ngokucacile kulaba baqhubi abathathu bomnotho wezindawo zasemakhaya.I-AgriSETA inemizamoeminingana ekhona ehloselwe ngokuqondile ukusekela intsha yasezindaweni zasemakhaya.Ukuhlaziywa kwezibalo zokusebenza kwe-AgriSETA kubonisa ukuthi ngokuyinhloko inani elingaphezu kuka-50% labo bonke abantu/abafundi abazuza ezinhlelweni zokufunda ze-AgriSETA, bangaphansi kweminyaka engu-35 ubudala.Kodwa-ke, siyasibona isidingo sokwenza okwengeziwe kulokhu futhi siqinisekise ukuthi izinhlelo ezigxile ngokuqondile zizuzisa abantu abasha.Yilokhu okwenza ukuba sihlangane noMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemakhaya Nezinguquko Kwezomhlaba (DRDLR) ukuze sisekele lo mnyango kumaphrojekthi akhethiwe e-National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) ahambisana nemboni yezolimo.Ngaphezu kwemizamo yethu evamile yemali esiyisebenzisa ngokubona kwethu, saqeqesha abanye abantu abasha abangu-338 abavela ku-NARYSEC ukuze sibenze bakwazi ukungagcini nje ngokubamba iqhaza, kodwa ukuhola ekuqaliseni uhlelo lokuLima Ndawonye, oluhloselwe ukwenza imifelandawonye yezolimo emincane yasezindaweni zasemakhaya ikwazi ukuzenzela.Siphezu kwenqubo yokuphothula izingxoxo no-DRDLR zokuba sandise lolu hlelo ngo-2014/2015.

Kanti futhi, njengomzamookhethekile onikezelwe entsheni, sasabela kahle esiqondisweni sikaNgqongqoshe Wezemfundo Ephakeme Nokuqeqeshwa sokuba ama-SETA akhe amathuba okufunda ezindaweni zokusebenza enzele labo abasebeqede izifundo zabo emakolishi e-Further Education and Training (FET) abangakasebenzi ndawo.Sanquma ukuwusekela lo mzamo futhi siwuhlanganise nohlelo lwethu lokuthuthukiswa kwekolishi lezolimo.Kulokhu, sithole asebeqede izifundo zabo eKolishi le-FET abangu-234 (kwezolimo noma emikhakheni ehlobene nazo) futhi sabafaka emakolishi ezolimo ukuze bajwayelane nendawo yomsebenzi.Ngaphezu kwalokho, sabekela ngalinye lamakolishi ezolimo angu-12 inselele yokuba lithole ababili kubafundi balo asebephothulile abangasebenzi futhi libathathe bazosebenza khona ukuze bathole ukuqeqeshwa okungokoqobo emsebenzini.Bangu-16 sebebonke abafundi bezolimo abathole lokho kuqeqeshwa okungokoqobo emsebenzini phakathi nonyaka.

Imifelandawonye iyizinhlaka ezibaluleke kakhulu emiphakathini yasezindaweni zasemakhaya edinga ukuqiniswa futhi inikezwe amandla okuzenzela izinto.Lokhu kunjalo ikakhulu kwezolimo, lapho imifelandawonye ingase ikwazi ukwakha uhlaka olubalulekile futhi ivumele abalimi basezindaweni zasemakhaya ukuba bangene emakethe bathengise futhi baqede umjikelezo wobubha.

Sihlangene ne-DRDLR, sitshale isamba sezigidi ezingu-R10 esiqondene nokuthuthukiswa kwemifelandawonye.Phawula ukuthi lokhu kungaphezu kotshalo-mali oluyinhloko olwenziwa yi-AgriSETA emalini yayo eyisebenzisa ngokubona kwayo ukuze imifelandawonye isebenze kangcono.Ngiyajabula ukukwazi ukubikaukuthi ngale phrojekthi sifinyelele imifelandawonye engu-236 yezolimo kanye namalungu emifelandawonye angu-2009 ngohlelo lokuLima Ndawonye.

Amakolishi Ezolimo

Izinselele ezibhekene ne-Accounting Authority

Isiphetho

UMnyango Wezemfundo Ephakeme Nokuqeqeshwa (DHET) waxoxa kabanzi nama- SETA ngohlelo lokwakha amaketanga aqinile phakathi kwama-SETA namakolishi e-FET.Ngokombono we- AgriSETA, sikholelwa ukuthi amakolishi ezolimo angu-12 ezwe kufanele abe yisiqalo esihle kulokhu.Ngakho-ke saqalisa inqubo yokuxoxisana nalezi zikhungo ngenhloso yokuthola nokuthuthukisa izinto ezifanayo esingabambisana kuzo futhi sizifake umfutho mayelana nezinhlelo ezingase zenziwe ngokoqobo emkhakheni wokuthuthukiswa kwamakhono.La makolishi abalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwabalimi besikhathi esizayo nabaholi bezolimo, futhi ngenxa yalokho sizizwa sinesibopho sokuwasekela ekufuneni kwawo ukuba neqhaza eliphumelelayo ekuthuthukisweni kwamakhono.Akubuzwa ukuthi siyoyandisa le nqubo ihlanganise namanye amakolishi e-FET ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Ukuze isheshise le nqubo, i-AgriSETA ibekele eceleni isamba esiyizigidi ezingu-R6 esizosiza amakolishi ezolimo ukuthi akwazi ukuzenzela izinto.Ikolishi ngalinye lamenywa ukuba lilethe incwadi esho izizathu ezenza lidinge imali ezosekela imizamo efanele.Ngiyajabula ukubika ukuthi wonke la makolishi abambe iqhaza kulo mzamo.

Eminyeimizamo enemininingwane eminingi ibikwa u-CEO kanye nezimenenja zeminyango ehlukahlukene.

Ziningi izinselele ebezingalindelekile ezivele kulo nyaka.Okokuqala, kwadingeke sinikele ngezigidi ezingu-R24 ohlelweni lwe-DHET lokusekela amaKolishi e-FET.Inselele yesibili, umngcele obekwe emalini ephumayo yezinhlangano ezithile, ezihlanganisa nama-SETA.Lokhu kuye kwavula ithuba lokuba kusetshenziswe imali engaphansi kwaleyo efanele futhi kube nemali esele kusukela ngonyaka ozayo.Ku-AgriSETA lo mngcele kungenzeka uholele ekutheni kube nemali esele ephakathi kwezigidi ezingu-R40 nezigidi ezingu-R60 kulo nyaka-zimali ozayo.Lena inselele enkulu i-Accounting Authority eye yanquma ukuba igxile kuyo.

Sengiphetha, ngithanda ukuthatha leli thuba ukuze ngibonge labo abangisiza ekutheni siyise i-SETA phambili.

• Okokuqala, ngizobonga uNgqongqoshe Wezemfundo Ephakeme Nokuqeqeshwa kanye nabasebenzi bakhe ngendlela enhle esiye sasebenzisana ngayo kulo nyaka odlule.Ngikholelwa ukuthi ukuze silethe inguquko kwezamakhono, kudingeka sibumbane.Ngicabanga ukuthi lokho sikwenze ngempumelelo.Sibheke phambili ekusebenzisaneni nani kuleli hlandla elilandelayo lokuphatha.

• Ngithanda nokubonga iminyango kahulumeni esisebenzisana eduze nayo.Ikakhulu ngithanda ukubonga uMnyango Wezolimo, Ezamahlathi Nokudoba (DAFF), esisebenzisana nawo njalo, kanye noMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemakhaya Nezinguquko Kwezomhlaba, esenza nawo amaphrojekthi ngokubambisana.Ngikhulumile ngala maphrojekthi (njengeyokuLima Ndawonye nephrojekthi yentsha) ekuqaleni.Kudingeka siqhubeke nala maphrojekthi futhi siwakhulise.

• Kubabambiqhaza bethu, abakhokhi bemali eyintela nabanye abadlala izindima ezithile.Ningumgogodla we-AgriSETA.Sikhona ngenxa yenu.Sizama ukusebenza ngokubambisana nani ngemibukiso yasemigwaqweni yaminyaka yonke nezinye izindlela.Ngenxa yemali, asikwazi ukuba kuyo yonke indawo ngaso sonke isikhathi, futhi ngenxa yalokho sinimema ukuba nixoxe nathi, nisigxeke futhi nisibonise indlela - silapha ukuze sifeze izidingo zenu.

• Bozakwethu abangamalungu e-Accounting Authority.Yini enenza izinqumo zesikhathi eside; mina ngiyaniqondisa kuphela.Ngiyanibonga ngemizamo yenu nokuzinikela kwenu.Ngiyazi ukuthi bekuhlale kunemihlangano eminingi ehlelwa ngomzuzu wokugcina - nihlale nikhona ukuze nisize I- SETA.Ngiyanincoma kakhulu.

• Ngithanda nokubonga ikomiti le-Accounting Authority.Niyingalo ye-Accounting Authority futhi niyizinhlaka ezinikeza iziqondiso.Ngiyanibonga futhi ngiyaninxusa ukuba niqhubeke nokubheka ukuthi konke kuhamba kahle ezingxenye ezihlukene okugxile kuzo i-SETA.

• Chief Executive Officer (CEO) kanye nabasebenzi.Njalo nje nibalwa ekugcineni, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi nibancane.Singakha amasu futhi sihlele ngendlela esifisa ngayo, kodwa uma bengekho abazokwenza lokho, ngeke sifinyelele lutho esiluhlelile.Ngiyazi ukuthi nisebenza kanzima isikhathi eside.Ngiyazi ukuthi niyahamba kakhulu futhi ningabi bikho emakhaya.Ngiyayazi imizamo ekhethekile eniyenzayo ukuze nifinyelele imigomo ebekiwe.Kafushane nje:Ngiyayazisa imizamo yenu.Masiqhubeka singenye yama-SETA angcono kakhulu futhi masikwenze umgomo wethu ukuvala umlomo labo abaphikisana nokuba khona kwama-SETA.

Ngokubambisana, masishintshe yonke indawo yokusebenza ibe yindawo yokuqeqesha.

Hona ho ekeditse kgonahalo ya diphokotso le ho kgaolwa mosebetsing ka lebaka la 54% ya keketso meputso e tlase , mme re lebeletse hore kgolo efe kapa efe ya lekeno e tla behellwa thoko ka lebaka la phokotso ya ditshenyehelo tsa meputso ka lebaka la diphokotso mosebetsing tse lebeletsweng. Re hlalositse hape hore re tla tadima maemo botjha nakong ya selemo sa ditjhelete sa 2013/2014.

Ke thaba ho tsebisa mona hore ditletlebo tsa rona di ile tsa fediswa ke kgolo e matla ya lekeno, eo hantlentle e leng kgolo e phahameng ka ho fetisisa ya selemo le selemo e fihleletsweng esale ho qalwa ka AgriSETA. Ka ho sebedisa selemo sa ditjhelete sa 2012/2013 e le motheo, lekeno la rona le hodile ka ho feta 20%. Tsena ke ditaba tse monate bakeng sa SETA e jereng boikarabelo ba ho ntshetsa pele le, moo ebang ho hlokeha, ho lefella merero ya boikitlaetso ya kwetliso. Ka bokgutshwanyane, re tla ba le ditjhelete tse ngata tseo re ka di abang bakeng sa mokga o nang le ditlhoko tse phahameng. Re bile le hona ho dumella ditefello tse ekeditsweng eseng feela bakeng sa kwetliso ya basebetsi ba hirilweng (ho ntshetsa pele boitsebelo ba bona ba mosebetsi e le ho ba etsa hore ba be le tlhahiso e phahameng haholwanyane), empa esita le seo hangata re se bitsang ka hore mokga o moholo o fapafapaneng o hlokang mehlodi, jwaloka, boramapolasi ba banyenyane ba boemo bo tlase, boramapolasi ba batjha esita le bao ka kakaretso ba kgonang ho iphumanela mokga wa bona wa kgwebo.

Ha re kgutlela morao pehelong ya ka ya 2012/13, ke laetse ka ho hlaka botsamaisi ba AgriSETA ho tadimana ka ho hlaka hodima dintlha tsena tse tharo tse ntshetsang moruo wa mahae pele. AgriSETA e na le mananeo a boikitlaetso a reretsweng ho tshehetsa batjha ba mahaeng. Tshekatsheko ya dipalopalo tsa tshebetso tsa AgriSETA di bontsha hore palo e fetang 50% ya batho bohle /baithuti ba fumanang molemo mananeong a dithuto a AgriSETA, ba ka tlase ho dilemo tse 35. Leha ho le jwalo, re hlokomela hore ho a hlokeha hore re etse haholwanyane tabeng tsena e le ho etsa bonnete ba hore ho ba le mananeo a tobaneng ka ho otloloha molemong wa batjha..

In 2011, the annual report pondered what was new in the National Skills

Development Strategy (NSDS) III. 2012 was the period for “settling in”.

Now we have reached yet another important milestone in the skills

development arena. The Chairperson of the AgriSETA Accounting

Authority Professor Mayende, requested the SETA's Accounting

Authority to reflect on the legacy the SETA was creating and would pass

on at the end of the NSDS III. In effect, this led to an important question

for 2013: Were we winning? Mike Murdock (A 31 Day Mentorship

Program of Wisdom (2006) says that a prerequisite for winning is that an

organisation has to be driven by an uncommon leader (or leaders).

Uncommon leaders are able to distinguish between what matters most

and what matters least, and this can only be achieved by prioritising and

making focused decisions. This the AgriSETA Accounting Authority did

so by providing sound and focused leadership and concentrating on the

youth, agricultural cooperatives, FET colleges (the agricultural as well as

the general streams) and rural development. The year 2013 can be

characterised by the phrase “winning with the NSDS III”. Winning refers

to tangible results delivered by people with focus. In his book Winning,

Jack Welch (2005) describes these people's way of working as

consisting of four characteristics, namely positive energy, the ability to

energise others, the courage to make tough yes or no decisions and the

ability to get the job done. The AgriSETA Accounting Authority has

demonstrated passion, talent and hard work in turning the AgriSETA into

a winning SETA. The main reason for their success is that under the enabling leadership of the Chairperson of the Accounting

Authority, Professor Mayende, they demonstrated “positive energy”. In his book Outliers, Gladwell Malcolm describes these

people as having achieved success through persistence, doggedness and willingness to work hard for twenty-two minutes to

make sense of something that most people would give up after thirty seconds. In this, the Accounting Authority was not alone;

the AgriSETA personnel also materially contributed the SETA's ability to carry out its mandate. In short, therefore, 2013 was a

successful year for the SETA. Only towards the end was it punctuated by the new White Paper for Post-school Education and

Training, which demonstrated that change is a constant and cannot be wished away. I believe that the White Paper presents

an opportunity for the SETA to get involved and excel.

Agriculture being one of the biggest employers in the rural communities, AgriSETA is positioned to contribute toward

employment as well as food security. There is a continuously growing population of emerging farmers and land reform

beneficiaries, and with their entrance into the industry training becomes a key priority for making sure that food security is not

lost. In its entirety, the AgriSETA is playing a crucial role. What remains a challenge is how to attract the growing number of

young people who do not see agriculture as a “smart” career choice and to expose them to a practice that brings fulfilment and

satisfaction.

The wise and able leadership of the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande, who has given the

AgriSETA a new and lasting impetus to accelerate involvement in rural development, land reform and cooperatives by

legislation, especially the latest White Paper for Post-school Education and Training, has played an important role. This white

paper has infused the SETA with new energy to broaden access for new entrants into agriculture after school and rolling out

cooperative training that targets the youth and women. The establishment of community colleges provides a solution for the

low literacy levels of agricultural workers. We hope that these institutions will not only be academic, but will target both theory

and practice by growing and recognising the practical knowledge already embedded in the communities.

SUCCESSES

CHALLENGES

Relationships with Departments and Agricultural Stakeholders

• The signing of a service level agreement with the Department of Public Works in rolling out agricultural training

to rural youth and communities.

• The continued involvement of the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) in rolling out the

Farm Together programme to benefit agricultural cooperatives.

• Rolling out programmes in agricultural colleges to assist lecturers with lecture development, research and

development and learning and tutorial development.

• The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) initiative in Limpopo province in partnership with firstly the University of

Limpopo, Waterberg FET College and Tompi Seleka Agricultural. Secondly also in Limpopo province with the

University of Venda, Vhembe FET College and Madzivandila College of Agriculture.

• The signing of a service level agreement with the KwaZulu Natal (KZN) Department of Agriculture and

Environmental Affairs led to the rolling out of learnerships to 28 cooperatives.

• Partnering with the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) to support 500 young people in KZN through

skills programmes.

• Partnership with the Free State Department of Agriculture to support 100 learners in their five districts.

• Supporting the Eastern Cape Department of Agriculture and Rural Development through 50 learnerships and

100 skills programmes at four identified cooperatives.

• Limited resources to respond to enormous needs for skills development interventions in rural areas. The current

capacity of the SETA to deal with the dire needs in rural areas is limited. We only have a SETA presence in four

provinces (Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KZN and the Eastern Cape).

• The capping of expenditure, which has affected already depleted resources of the AgriSETA.

• The slow pace of registering qualifications by the Quality Council for Trade and Occupations (QCTO), which

dampens the enthusiasm of agricultural commodity organisations.

• Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) (national and provincial)

After the strike in the agricultural sector in the Western Cape, the AgriSETA together with the Department of Agriculture,

Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) found new niche areas in skills development. These include getting involved in training in

around De Doorns in the form of learnerships and training and addressing foetal alcohol syndrome.

The DAFF, under the leadership of Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson, continues to provide the AgriSETA with sound support

and cooperation. Together we have managed to finalise training materials for cooperatives and cooperated on a number of

initiatives, e.g. internships and mentoring.

• Department of Higher Education and Training and the Department of Labour

The Department of Education and Training (DHET) continues to support the AgriSETA in making sure that requirements of

Page 14

the SETA legislation are met. In particular, recognition is given to the Director-General, Mr Qonde, for being available to

provide leadership, Messrs Mvalo and Lumka, who lead SETA support teams and constantly expose the SETA to new

relationships and stakeholders in skills development. We continue to participate in all relevant structures of the DHET as we

did with the Department of Labour (DoL), and given the size of the SETA we have performed quite well on reporting (quarterly)

and against set targets on the score card.

We continue to rely heavily on support from the National Skills Fund (NSF). As three quarters of South Africa is rural,

emerging farmers and land reform beneficiaries remain dependent on the SETA for support. The situation is further

complicated by rural development having become a national priority, and since then the need for support has doubled.

AgriSETA levies remain sufficient for levy-paying entities, but our funds are being diluted by the large number of non-levying

entities and individuals, and I am therefore convinced that the National Skills Fund should join hands with AgriSETA for

funding.

Our relationship with the Department of Labour (DoL) continued to thrive, though to a limited degree. We still get assistance in

verifications and requirements status (the Central Bargaining Chamber for Employee Unions, where all information is verified

before unions are allowed a seat) of our labour stakeholders on the AgriSETA Accounting Authority. Secondly, the DoL has

assisted the SETA in complying with employment equity targets by providing support and guidance.

•

Good relations and cooperation exist between the SETA and the National Department of Rural Development and Land

Reform. They have also pumped money into the SETA for supporting agricultural programmes for the beneficiaries of land

reform, including training of cooperatives on the “Farm Together” programme. The SETA is also involved in NARYSEC

agricultural training programmes.

• Levy payers and broader agricultural stakeholders

Our levy income has increased by more than 10% and continues to grow. This can be attributed to our relationship with the

agricultural stakeholders and levy payers, but more important is the growth in salaries and bonuses paid to employees. In

order to improve our services to the levy-paying companies, we included a session on workplace skills plans (WSPs) and

annual training plans (ATRs) in our road shows and targeted specific areas for skills development facilitators who assist levy-

paying companies. In March we introduced a new system of capturing mandatory grants and ran workshops in all nine

provinces for levy payers to understand and apply for mandatory grants using the new system.

The SETA still receives a high volume of applications for both learnerships and skills programmes which far exceeds amounts

allocated from the discretionary funds. With more people getting land and more agricultural cooperatives being registered,

they turn to AgriSETA for training. Nevertheless, the unit has managed to address the needs with the support of the Skills

Delivery Committee (sub-committee of the Accounting Authority). The unit continues to reach more than the stipulated

targets of the service level agreement.

The new grant regulation of 2012 has gone a long way in adding to the discretionary funding, growing it from 20% to 49,5%,

which brought positive results. This enabled the SETA to perform well in the placement of FET agricultural students for work-

integrated learning, which is in line with the White Paper for Post-school Education and Training.

This department visited a number of Sub Sector Committees (SSCs), which provided an opportunity to determine their

needs. The challenge going forward is to implement their recommendations. A new system for mandatory grants was

introduced, and positive feedback was received regarding the accessibility and user friendliness of the system. We hope that

the SETA will see a significant increase in the mandatory claims.

Financial performance

Staffing matters

The ETQA Department hosted a successful tour to the Netherlands to study how agricultural companies there recognise prior

learning (RPL). The implementation of RPL in the agricultural sector will commence in the 2014/2015 financial year. To date,

the AgriSETA has submitted 25 qualifications for registration by the Quality Council for Trade and Occupation (QCTO). The

department also hosted 185 FET National Certificate of Vocation (NCV) 4 students at agricultural colleges for work-

integrated learning.

Caren, who is our communication officer, continues to do well. Assisted by a committee, she produced a well-organised

seminar. In fact, the seminar was oversubscribed. Valuable feedback was given to the SETA. The SETA also took part on a

number of career exhibitions, which poured new energy into agriculture.

The AgriSETA's levy income increased by 21% (from R223,1 million in 2012/2013 to R269,9 million in 2013/2014). The actual

administration income was R36,2 million compared with R32,1 million received in the previous financial year. The reason for

the 21% increase is that there was an increase in the number of levy employers as well as in the minimum wage in certain

agricultural sectors. The discretionary spending for the current financial year was R144,2 million compared with R104,0

million. The 39% increase was mostly due to the change in the grant regulations, where the statutory component for

discretionary spending increased from 20% to 49,5%. The total mandatory expenditure was R54,9 million compared with

R99,8 million in the previous financial year. This represents a 45% decrease due to the grant regulation change, which now

stipulates that the mandatory component is 20% as opposed to the previous 50%. The AgriSETA has allocated a total of 87%

of its discretionary reserve.

As at 31 March 2014, AgriSETA had no surplus funds to surrender to the National Skills Fund (NSF). Due to funding being

assigned to contracts, there will be no payment to the NSF in October 2014. Effectively more than 95% of the AgriSETA's

surpluses was contracted, the total value of the contracts being R133,2 million.

The AgriSETA's administration costs increased to R31,5 million in the current year from R28,0 million; this represented a 12%

increase. The AgriSETA was still R4,9 million below the statutory 10% limit. The increase in administration costs was due to:

• Increased Accounting Authority fees

• Consulting and outsourcing

• Salaries

Overall, our finances are being administered very well with the assistance of Deloitte, and we have always received an

unqualified report from the Auditor-General's office.

During the period under review, AgriSETA had 47 employees, some on fixed-term contracts. New appointments include Skills

Planning and Human Resource managers, Ms Noluvuyo Bangani and Ms Thakane Motebang, Board Secretary, Mr

Mavhungu Ramurunzi, and two interns, Ms Sibongile Qubekile and Mr Junia Mashele. Two employees resigned, Mziwandile

Hlanjwa and James Dlamini, who were Human Resources Manager and Project Coordinator (KZN), respectively. Tshepiso

Mamabolo was transferred from Personal Assistant (PA) of CEO to the position of Human Resource (HR) Coordinator. Three

ladies – Ms Dineo Dhlongolo, Trudy Mothotse and Bronwynn Oosthuizen – delivered healthy babies. Hearty congratulations

to them. Ms Anthea Pillay did a stellar job as acting Coordinator in Skills Delivery when Bronwynn Oosthuizen was on

maternity leave.

Word of Gratitude

I would like to dedicate this section to the AgriSETA Accounting Authority for its unwavering support and its leadership. I

especially appreciate the synergy that has been built among ministerial appointees, organised labour and employers over a

long period. As always, the level of discussion and the quality of direction given has been impressive. Special thanks to the

Chair, Professor Mayende, for guidance and wisdom. Your intellectual capacity and expertise in rural development were

evident in the gentle way you guided the Accounting Authority to greater heights. The Accounting Authority successfully

ensured that the SETA performed well, even in terms of the new targets of NSDS III, and demonstrated tireless effort and

sacrifice in shaping national imperatives. I should also acknowledge the unity of the AgriSETA Accounting Authority

demonstrated in decision making, and I want to commend you for that.

To our stakeholders and to government departments, both national and provincial, many thanks for the professional attitude

and amicable working relationship you have fostered with the AgriSETA. To the levy payers, a special word of gratitude for

entrusting us with your funds and co-championing skills development in the agricultural sector. To our service providers, we

appreciate the dedication with which you deliver the skills needed out there on behalf of the SETA.

To the staff at the AgriSETA, a word of appreciation and gratitude for your motivated attitude and conduct as you continue to

impress me by making sure that our SETA is rated as one of the best. I cannot end without thanking Messrs Engelbrecht,

Mamabolo and Phetla and Ms Labuscagne for helping me steer the AgriSETA ship under the guidance of the Board. I also

commend Ms Thakane Motebang, who revolutionised the Human Resource section by bringing in new energy and

leadership, and Mr. Ramurunzi, who briefly served as the Board secretary.

THANK YOU

Hoof-Uitvoerende Beamptes se Oorsig

Page 18

In 2011 het die jaarverslag besin oor wat nuut was in die nuwe NVOS III. Die jaar 2012 was die tydperk waarin ons aangepas

het. Nou het ons nog 'n belangrike mylpaal op die gebied van vaardigheidsontwikkeling bereik. Die Voorsitter van die

AgriSETA se Beheerraad, professor Mayende, het die SETA se Beheerraad versoek om na te dink oor die erfenis wat die

SETA besig was om te skep en aan die einde van die NSD III sou nalaat. Dit het op 'n baie belangrike vraag vir 2013 uitgeloop:

Was ons besig om te wen? In "A 31 Day Mentorship Program of Wisdom” (2006) skryf Mike Murdock dat 'n voorvereiste vir 'n wenorganisasie is dat dit gedryf moet word deur 'n ongewone leier (of leiers). Ongewone leiers is in staat om te onderskei

tussen wat die meeste en wat die minste saak maak, en dit kan slegs gedoen word deur te prioritiseer en gefokuste besluite te

neem. Dit het die AgriSETA se Beheerraad vermag deur behoorlike en gefokuste leierskap aan die dag te lê en op die jeug,

landboukoöperasies, VOO-kolleges (in die landbou sowel as in die algemeen) en landelike ontwikkeling te konsentreer. Die

jaar 2013 kan gekenmerk word deur die uitdrukking “wen met die NVOS III”. Wen verwys na tasbare resultate gelewer deur

mense met fokus. In sy boek Winning (2005) stel Jack Welch dat hierdie persone se werkswyse bestaan vier kenmerke besit,

naamlik positiewe energie, die vermoë om ander te besiel, die moed om moeilike ja- of nee-besluite te neem en die vermoë

om dinge gedoen te kry. Met passie, talent en harde werk het die AgriSETA se Beheerraad die AgriSETA in 'n wen-SETA

omskep. Die hoofrede vir hul sukses was dat hulle onder die bemagtigende leiding van die voorsitter van die Beheerraad,

professor Mayende, “positiewe energie” aan die dag gelê het. In sy boek Outliers stel Gladwell Malcolm dat hierdie mense

sukses behaal het deur volharding, vasbyt en bereidwilligheid om twee en twintig minute hard te werk om sin te maak uit iets

wat die meeste mense na dertig sekondes sou opgee. Hierin het die Beheerraad nie alleen gestaan nie; die AgriSETA-

personeel het ook wesenlik bygedra tot die SETA se vermoë om sy mandaat uit te voer. Kort gestel: 2013 was dus 'n

suksesvolle jaar vir die SETA. Eers teen die einde is die SETA beïnvloed deur die nuwe Witskrif vir Naskoolse Onderwys en

Opleiding, wat getoon het dat verandering 'n gegewe is en nie weggewens kan word nie. Ek glo dat die Witskrif die SETA 'n geleentheid bied om betrokke te raak en uit te blink.

Aangesien landbou een van die grootste werkgewers in die landelike gemeenskappe is, is die AgriSETA goed geplaas om tot

werkverskaffing asook tot voedselsekerheid by te dra. Daar is 'n groeiende aantal opkomende boere en begunstigdes van

grondhervorming, en met hul toetrede tot die bedryf word opleiding 'n sleutelprioriteit om seker te maak dat voedselsekuriteit

nie verlore gaan nie. As 'n geheel speel die AgriSETA 'n kernrol. Wat steeds 'n uitdaging bly is hoe die toenemende aantal

jongmense wat landbou nie as 'n“slim” loopbaankeuse beskou nie, gelok kan word en blootgestel kan word aan 'n beroep

wat vervulling en bevrediging verskaf.

Die wyse en bekwame leiding van die Minister van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding, Dr Blade Nzimande, wat deur wetgewing –

veral die jongste Witskrif vir Naskoolse Onderwys en Opleiding – die AgriSETA 'n nuwe en blywende impetus gegee het om

betrokkenheid by landelike ontwikkeling, grondhervorming en koöperasies te versnel, het 'n belangrike rol gespeel. Hierdie

Witskrif het die SETA opnuut besiel om toegang tot die landbou vir nuwe toetreders na skool te verbreed en om koöperatiewe

opleiding wat op jongmense en vroue gemik is, te verskaf. Die stigting van gemeenskapskolleges bied 'n oplossing vir die lae

geletterdheidsvlakke onder landbouwerkers. Ons hoop dat hierdie instellings nie net akademies sal wees nie, maar op beide

die teorie en die praktyk gerig sal wees deur die praktiese kennis wat reeds in die gemeenskappe bestaan, te erken en te

ontwikkel.

• Die ondertekening van 'n diensvlakooreenkoms (DVO) met die Departement van Openbare Werke om landbou-opleiding aan die landelike jeug en gemeenskappe te voorsien.

• Die deurlopende betrokkenheid van die Departement van Landelike Ontwikkeling en Grondhervorming (DLOGR)

by die ontplooiing van die Farm Together-program tot voordeel van landboukoöperasies.

• Die implementering van programme in landboukolleges om dosente by te staan met die ontwikkeling van

lesings, navorsing en ontwikkeling en met die ontwikkeling van leer en groepklasse.

Perspektief van die Openbare Entiteit

SUKSESSE

• Die inisiatief vir die erkenning van vorige leer (RPL) in Limpopo in samewerking met eerstens die Universiteit van Limpopo, die Waterberg VOO-kollege en Tompi Seleka Landboukollege. Tweedens, ook in Limpopo, met die Universiteit van Venda, Vhembe VOO-kollege en Madzivandila Landboukollege.

• Die ondertekening van 'n diensvlakooreenkoms (DVO) met KZN se Departement van Landbou en

Omgewingsake het tot die instelling van leerderskappe by 28 koöperasies gelei.

• Samewerking met die Nasionale Jeugontwikkelingsagentskap (NYDA) om 500 jongmense in KZN met

vaardigheidsprogramme te ondersteun.

• Samewerking met die Vrystaatse Departement van Landbou om 100 leerders in hulle vyf distrikte te ondersteun.

• Ondersteuning van die Oos-Kaapse Departement van Landbou en Landelike Ontwikkeling deur 50

leerderskappe en 100 vaardigheidsprogramme by vier geïdentifiseerde koöperasies.

• Beperkte hulpbronne om in die enorme behoefte aan vaardigheidsontwikkeling in landelike gebiede te

voorsien. Die huidige kapasiteit van die SETA om in die dringende behoeftes in landelike areas te voorsien, is

beperk. Ons het slegs SETA-verteenwoordiging in vier provinsies (Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KZN en die Oos-

Kaap).

• Die beperking op uitgawes, wat die Agriseta se reeds uitgeputte hulpbronne geraak het.

• Die stadige pas waarteen kwalifikasies deur die Kwaliteitsraad vir Ambagte en Beroepe geregistreer word, wat

die geesdrif in die landboukommoditeitsorganisasie demp.

• Departement van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye (nasionaal en provinsiaal)

Na die staking in die Wes-Kaapse landbousektor het die AgriSETA in samewerking met die Departement van Landbou,

Bosbou en Visserye (DLBV) nuwe nisse in vaardigheidsontwikkeling ontdek. Dit sluit betrokkenheid in by opleiding by De

Doorns in die vorm van leerderskappe en opleiding en die aanspreek van die fetale-alkoholsindroom.

Die DLBV, onder leiding van minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson, voorsien die AgriSETA deurlopend van deeglike

ondersteuning en samewerking. Tesame het ons daarin geslaag om opleidingsmateriaal vir koöperasies af te handel, en ons

het saamgewerk in 'n aantal inisiatiewe soos internskappe en mentorskappe.

• Departement van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding en die Departement van Arbeid

Die Departement van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding (DHOO) staan die AgriSETA voordurend by om te sorg dat die voorskrifte

van die SETA-wetgewing nagekom word. Erkenning word veral gegee aan die Direkteur-generaal, mnr. Qonde, vir sy

beskikbaarheid om leiding te gee en aan mnre. Mvalo en Lumka, wat SETA-ondersteuningspanne lei en die SETA gereeld

blootstel aan nuwe verhoudinge en belanghebbendes by vaardigheidsontwikkeling. Ons neem steeds deel aan alle relevante

strukture van die DHOO soos met dié van die DvA, en in die lig van die omvang van die SETA het ons heel goed gevaar wat

rapportering (kwartaalliks) en die bereiking van gestelde teikens op die telkaart betref.

Ons maak steeds sterk staat op die bystand van die Nasionale Vaardigheidsfonds. Aangesien driekwart van Suid-Afrika

landelik is, bly opkomende boere en begunstigdes van grondhervorming van die SETA afhanklik vir steun. Die situasie word

verder daardeur gekompliseer dat landelike ontwikkeling 'n nasionale prioriteit geword het; sedertdien het die behoefte aan

ondersteuning verdubbel. AgriSETA-heffings is nog voldoende vir entiteite wat heffings betaal, maar die fondse word

UITDAGINGS

Verhoudings met Departemente en Landboubelanghebbendes

Page 19

verwater deur die groot aantal entiteite en individue wat geen heffings betaal nie, en daarom is ek oortuig dat die Nasionale

Vaardigheidsfonds en die AgriSETA moet saamstaan wat befondsing betref.

Ons verhouding met die DvA (Departement van Arbeid) floreer steeds, hoewel in beperkte mate. Ons ontvang steeds hulp

met die verifiëring en die stand van vereistes (die Sentrale Bedingingskamer vir Werknemervakbonde, waar alle inligting

nagegaan word voordat vakbonde 'n setel kry) van ons arbeidsbelanghebbende in die AgriSETA se Beheerraad. Tweedens

het die DvA die SETA gehelp om diensgelykheidteikens te bereik deur steun en rigting te gee.

• Departement van Landelike Ontwikkeling en Grondhervorming

Daar bestaan goeie betrekkinge en samewerking tussen die SETA en die nasionale Departement van Landelike Ontwikkeling

en Grondhervorming. Hulle het ook geld in die SETA gesteek om landbouprogramme vir die begunstigdes van

grondhervorming te ondersteun, waaronder die opleiding van koöperasies in die Farm Together-program. Die SETA is ook

betrokke by NARYSEC se landbou-opleidingsprogramme.

• Heffingbetalers en breër landboubelanghebbendes

Ons heffingsinkomste het met meer as 10% toegeneem en groei steeds. Dit kan toegeskryf word aan ons verhouding met die

landboubelanghebbendes en heffingbetalers, maar die toename in salarisse en bonusse vir werknemers is belangriker. Om

ons dienste aan die heffingbetalende maatskappye te verbeter het ons 'n sessie oor werkplekvaardigheidsplanne (WSP's) en

jaarlikse opleidingsplanne (ATR's) by ons inligtingstoere ingesluit en spesifiek fasiliteerders van vaardigheidsontwikkeling

wat heffingbetalende maatskappye bystaan, geteiken. In Maart het ons 'n nuwe stelsel ingevoer om verpligte toelaes te

registreer en werkswinkels in al nege provinsies aangebied om heffingbetalers te help om verpligte toelaes te verstaan en

volgens die nuwe stelsel daarvoor aansoek te doen.

Die SETA ontvang steeds 'n hoë volume aansoeke vir leerlingskappe en vaardigheidsprogramme wat die beskikbare bedrae

vir diskresionêre befondsing ver oorskry. Namate al hoe meer mense grond bekom en al hoe meer landboukoöperasies

geregistreer word, wend die mense hulle tot die AgriSETA vir opleiding. Nogtans het die eenheid met die ondersteuning van

die Komitee vir Vaardigheidslewering ('n subkomitee van die Beheerraad) daarin geslaag om die behoeftes aan te spreek. Die

eenheid bereik steeds meer as die teikens wat in die diensvlakooreenkoms gestel is.

Die nuwe toekenningsregulasie van 2012 het 'n stewige bydrae tot die diskresionêre befondsing gemaak deur dit van 20% tot

49.5% te verhoog, met positiewe gevolge. Dit het die SETA in staat gestel om goed te vorder met die plasing van VOO-

landboustudente vir werkgeïntegreerde leer, wat in ooreenstemming is met die Witskrif vir Naskoolse Onderwys en

Opleiding.

Hierdie departement het 'n aantal subsektorkomitees (SSK's) besoek, wat 'n geleentheid gebied het om hulle behoeftes te

bepaal. Die uitdaging is nou om hul aanbevelings te implementeer. 'n Nuwe stelsel vir verpligte toelaes is ingevoer, en

positiewe terugvoer is ontvang oor die stelsel se toeganklikheid en gebruiksvriendelikheid. Ons hoop dat die SETA 'n

aansienlike toename in verpligte toelaes sal ervaar.

Die Onderwys- en Opleidingskwalifikasiedepartement het 'n geslaagde toer na Nederland geborg om te kyk hoe

landoumaatskappye daar vooraf leer erken. Die implementering van RPL in die landbousektor sal in die 2014/2015 finansiële

jaar 'n aanvang neem. Tot op hede het die AgriSETA 25 kwalifikasies aan die QCTO vir registrasie voorgelê. Die departement

het ook 185 VOO-studente (NSB) 4 by landboukolleges geborg vir werkgeïntegreerde leer.

Finansiële prestasie

Personeelsake

Dankbetuiging

Caren, ons kommunikasiebeampte, lewer steeds goeie werk. Met die ondersteuning van 'n komitee het sy goed

georganiseerde konferensie aangebied. Daar was selfs meer teenwoordiges as waarvoor beplan is. Die SETA het

waardevolle terugvoer ontvang. Die SETA het ook aan 'n aantal loopbaanuitstalling deelgeneem wat die landbou nuwe lewe

ingeblaas het.

Die AgriSETA se heffingsinkomste het met 21% toegeneem (van R223,1 miljoen in 2012/13 tot R269,9 miljoen in 2013/2014).

Die werklike administrasie-inkomste was R36,2 miljoen vergeleke met die 32,1 miljoen wat in die vorige finansiële jaar

ontvang is. Die rede vir hierdie toename van 21% is dat die aantal heffingsbetalende werkgewers, asook die minimum loon in

sommige landbousektore, gestyg het. Die diskresionêre besteding was R144,2 miljoen in die huidige finansiële jaar,

vergeleke met R104,0 miljoen. Die toename van 39% was grotendeels die gevolg van die veranderinge in die

toelaeregulasies, waar die statutêre komponent vir diskresionêre besteding van 20% tot 49,5% gestyg het. Die totale

verpligte besteding was R54,9 miljoen vergeleke met R99.8 miljoen in die vorige finansiële jaar. Dit weerspieël 'n afname van

45% as gevolg van die veranderinge in die toelaeregulasies, wat nou bepaal dat die verpligte komponent 20% bedra in plaas

van die vorige 50%. Die AgriSETA het ŉ totaal van 87% van sy diskresionêre besteding toegeken.

Op 31 Maart 2014 het die AgriSETA geen oorskot gehad om aan die Nasionale Vaardigheidsfonds (NVF) oor te dra nie.

Omdat daar fondse aan kontrakte toegeken is, sal daar in Oktober 2014 geen betaling aan die NVF wees nie. Inderwaarheid

is meer as 95% van die AgriSETA se oorskotfondse gekontrakteer; die totale waarde van die kontrakte bedra R133,2 miljoen.

Die AgriSETA se administrasiekoste het in die huidige jaar tot R31,5 miljoen gestyg (van R28,0 miljoen), wat 'n toename van

13% is. Die AgriSETA was nog onder die statutêre grens tot bedrae van R4,9 miljoen. Die styging in administrasiekoste was

die gevolg van:

• Hoër gelde van die Beheerraad

• Konsultasie en uitbesteding

• Salarisse

Algemeen gesproke word ons finansies baie goed geadministreer met die hulp van Deloitte, en ons het nog altyd 'n

ongekwalifiseerde verslag van die kantoor van die Ouditeur-generaal ontvang.

Gedurende die oorsigtydperk het die AgriSETA 47 werknemers gehad, sommige op vastetermynkontrakte. Nuwe

aanstellings sluit me Noluvuyo Bangani en me Thakane Motebang (Vaardigheidsbeplannings- en

Menslikehulpbronbestuurders) in, mnr. Mavhungu Ramurunzi (Raadsekretaris) en twee interns, me Sibongile Qubekile en

mnr Junia Mashele. Twee werknemers, Mziwandile Hlanjwa en James Dlamini, het bedank as Menslikehulpbronbestuurder

en Projekkoördineerder (KZN) onderskeidelik. Tshepiso Mamabolo is van PA van die HUB na die pos MH-Koördineerder

verplaas. Drie dames – me Dineo Dhlongolo, Trudy Mothotse en Bronwynn Oosthuizen – het geboorte geskenk aan gesonde

babas. Ons wens hulle baie geluk. Me Anthea Pillay het haar uitstekend van haar taak as waarnemende koördineerder by

Vaardigheidslewering gekwyt terwyl Bronwynn Oosthuizen met kraamverlof was.

Ek wil graag hierdie deel aan die AgriSETA se Raad wy vir sy onwrikbare steun en sy leierskap. Ek waardeer veral die sinergie

Ngo-2011, umbiko wonyaka wagxila kulokho okwakukusha ku-NSDS III. U-2012 kwakuyinkathi "yokungena kahle." Manje siphinde safinyelela enye ingqopha-mlando ekuthuthukisweni kwamakhono. USihlalo we-AgriSETA Accounting Authority, uSolwazi Mayende, wacela i-Accounting Authority ye-SETA ukuba icabange ngefa elalakhiwa i-SETA neyayizolidlulisela phambili ekupheleni kwe-NSDS III. Empeleni, lokhu kwaholela embuzweni obalulekile ngo-2013. Ingabe sasiphumelela? U-Mike Murdock (A 31 Day Mentorship Program of Wisdom (2006) uthi imfuneko ephambili yokuphumelela ukuthi inhlangano kumelwe iqhutshwe umholi (noma abaholi) abangavamile. Abaholi abangavamile bayakwazi ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwalokho okubaluleke kakhulu nalokho okubaluleke kancane, futhi lokhu kungafinyelelwa kuphela ngokubeka izinto ezizakuqala futhi kwenziwe izinqumo ezihluzekile. I-AgriSETA Accounting Authority yakwenza lokhu ngokunikeza ubuholi obunengqondo nobugxilile futhi yagxila entsheni, kwimifelandawonye yezolimo, amakolishi ama-FET (awezolimo navamile) nokuthuthukiswa kwezindawo zasemakhaya. U-2013 ungaphawulwa ngesiqubulo esithi "ukuphumelela ne-NSDS III". Ukuphumelela kubhekisela emiphumeleni ephathekayo elethwe ngabantu abagxilile. Encwadini yakhe ethi Winning, u-Jack Welch (2005) uchaza indlela yokusebenza yalaba bantu ngokuthi inezakhi ezine, okungukuthi amandla amahle, ikhono lokufaka abanye umfutho, isibindi sokwenza izinqumo eziqinile zokuthi yebo noma cha kanye nekhono lokuba kwenziwe okufanele kwenziwe. I-AgriSETA Accounting Authority iye yabonisa uthando, ikhono nokusebenza kanzima ekushintsheni i-AgriSETA ibe yi-SETA ephumelelayo. Isizathu esiyinhloko sokuphumelela kwabo ukuthi ngaphansi kobuholi obenza izinto zenzeke bukaSihlalo we-Accounting Authority, uSolwazi Mayende, babonisa "intshiseko". Encwadini yakhe ethi Outliers, u-Gladwell Malcolm uchaza laba bantu ngokuthi bafinyelele impumelelo ngokuphikelela, ukulandela othile eduze nokuzimisela ukusebenza kanzima imizuzu engamashumi amabili nambili ukuze baqonde okuthile abantu abaningi abakudikilayo ngemva kwemizuzwana engamashumi amathathu. Kulokhu, i-Accounting Authority ibingeyodwa; abasebenzi be-AgriSETA nabo babe neqhaza ekhonweni le-SETA lokufeza umyalo wayo. Ngakho-ke, kafushane nje, u-2013 ube unyaka oyimpumelelo kwi-SETA. Yingasekupheleni konyaka kuphela lapho iye yaphazanyiswa i-White Paper for Post-school Education and Training entsha, eyabonisa ukuthi ushintsho luhlale lukhona futhi ngeke luphele. Ngikholelwa ukuthi i-White Paper inikeza i-SETA ithuba lokubandakanyeka futhi yenze kahle kakhulu.

Njengoba eZolimo zingomunye wabaqashi abakhulu kakhulu ephakathini wasezindaweni zasemakhaya, i-AgriSETA imi ngomumo ukuba ibe negalelo ekuqashweni kwabantu kanye nasekuvikelekeni kokudla. Kunomphakathi okhula njalo wabalimi abasafufusa kanye nalabo abazuzayo ekuguqulweni komhlaba, futhi njengoba bengena kule mboni, ukuqeqeshwa sekuyinto eseqhulwini ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ukudla kuqhubeka kuvikelekile. Iyonke, i-AgriSETA idlala indima ebalulekile. Okusalokhu kuyinselele yindlela yokuheha inani elikhulayo labantu abasha abangaziboni ezolimo njengendlela yokukhetha umsebenzi "ewukuhlakanipha" nokubenza babone le ndlela eletha ukwaneliseka.

Ubuholi obuhlakaniphile nobukwazi ukwenza izinto bukaNgqongqoshe Wezemfundo Ephakeme Nokuqeqeshwa, uDkt. Blade Nzimande, osebunikeze i-AgriSETA amandla amasha nahlala njalo okusheshisa ukubandakanyeka ekuthuthukisweni kwezindawo zasemakhaya, ukuguqulwa komhlaba nemiphilandawonye ngokusebenzisa umthetho, ikakhulukazi i-White Paper for Post-school Education and Training yamuva nje, sebudlale indima ebalulekile. Lo mbiko wesihlongozo sikahulumeni usunikeze i-SETA amandla amasha okwandisa ukungena kwalabo abaqalayo ukungena kwezolimo ngemva kokuqeda isikole nokukhipha ukuqeqeshwa kwemiphilandawonye okusophe intsha nabesifazane. Ukusungulwa kwamakolishi omphakathi kunikeza isixazululo endabeni yokuba namazinga aphansi okufunda kwabasebenzi bezolimo. Sithemba ukuthi lezi zinhlangano ngeke zibe yizindawo zokufunda nje kuphela, kodwa ziyogxila kukho kokubili ulwazi lwengqondo nokwenza izinto ngokoqobo ngokukhulisa nokuqaphela ulwazi loqobo oselukhona kakade emphakathini.

• Ukusayinwa kwesivumelwano sokusebenzisana phakathi koMnyango Wezemisebenzi Yomphakathi ekukhipheni ukuqeqeshwa kwezolimo entsheni nasemiphakathini yasezindaweni zasemakhaya.

Ukubandakanyeka okuqhubekayo koMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemakhaya Nokuguqulwa Komhlaba (DRDLR) ekukhipheni uhlelo lokuLima Ndawonye ukuze kuzuze imiphilandawonye yezolimo.

Ukukhipha izinhlelo emakolishi ezolimo ukuze kusizwe labo abafundisayo ngokuthuthukisa ukufundisa, ucwaningo nentuthuko kanye nokuthuthukiswa kokufunda nokufundisa.

Ukuqaliswa kwe-Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) esifundazweni saseLimpopo sihlangene, okokuqala ne-University of Limpopo, i-Waterberg FET College ne-Tompi Seleka Agricultural. Okwesibili sona futhi isifundazwe saseLimpopo ne-University of Venda, i-Vhembe FET College ne-Madzivandila College of Agriculture.

Ukusayinwa kwesivumelwano sokusebenzisana noMnyango Wezolimo Nezemvelo KwaZulu Natal (KZN) kwaholela ekukhishweni kwezinhlelo zokufunda usebenza kwimiphilandawonye engu-28.

Ukubumbana ne-National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) ukuze kusekelwe abantu abasha abangu-500 e-KZN ngezinhlelo zamakhono.

Ukubumbana noMnyango Wezolimo e-Free State ukuze kusekelwe abafundi abangu-100 ezifundeni zabo ezinhlanu.

Ukusekela uMnyango Wezolimo Nokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemakhaya waseMpumalanga Kapa ngohlelo lokufunda usebenza lwabangu-50 nolokuthola amakhono lwabangu-100 kwimiphilandawonye emine ehlonziwe.

Izinto ezilinganiselwe ukuze kusabelwe ezidingweni ezinkulu zezinto ezenzelwe ukuthuthukisa amakhono ezindaweni zasemakhaya. Alinganiselwe amandla amanje e-SETA okubhekana nezidingo ezinkulu ezindaweni zasemakhaya. I-SETA ikhona ezifundazweni ezine kuphela (iLimpopo, iMpumalanga, i-KZN neMpumalanga Kapa).

Ukubekwa komngcele ezindlekweni, ebese zithinte imali esinciphile kakade ye-AgriSETA.

Ukuhamba kancane kokubhalisa izimfanelo kwe-Quality Council for Trade and Occupations (QCTO), okudambisa intshiseko yezinhlangano zezinto zezolimo.

UMnyango Wezolimo, Ezamahlathi Nokudoba (DAFF) (kazwelonke nowesifundazwe)

Ngemva kwesiteleka embonini yezolimo eNtshonalanga Kapa, i-AgriSETA ikanye noMnyango Wezolimo, Ezamahlathi Nokudoba(DAFF) basungula izindawo ezintsha ekuthuthukisweni kwamakhono. Lezi zazihlanganisa ukubandakanyeka ekuqeqeshweni endaweni yase-De Doorns ngezinhlelo zokufunda usebenza nokuqeqeshwa kanye nokubhekelela indaba yokuthola utshwala kombungu osesesibelethweni.I-DAFF, ngaphansi kobuholi bukaNgqongqoshe u-Tina Joemat-Pettersson, iyaqhubeka inikeza i-AgriSETA ukusekela okuhle nokubambisana. Sindawonye sikwazile ukuphothula izinto zokuqeqeshwa zemiphilandawonye futhi sabambisana emikhankasweni eminingana, isib., ukufunda usebenza nohlelo lokusizwa ngabantu abathile.

UMnyango Wezemfundo Ephakeme Nokuqeqeshwa noMnyango Wezemisebenzi

UMnyango Wezemfundo Ephakeme Nokuqeqeshwa (DHET) uyaqhubeka usekele i-AgriSETA ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi kuyahlangatshezwana nezimfuneko zemithetho ye-SETA. Ikakhulu, siqaphela uMqondisi-Jikelele, uMnu Qonde, ngokutholakala ukuze anikeze ubuholi, noMnu. Mvalo benoMnu. Lumka, abahola amathimba okusekela e-SETA futhi abahlale bethula i-SETA ebudlelwaneni obusha nakubabambiqhaza bokuthuthukiswa kwamakhono. Siyaqhubeka sibamba iqhaza kuzo zonke izinhlaka ezifanele ku-DHET njengoba senza eMnyangweni Wezemisebenzi (DoL), futhi uma ucabangela usayizi we-SETA, senze kahle kakhulu ekubikeni (ngekota) noma kuqhathaniswa nemigomo ebekiwe ekhadini lamaphoyinti.

Siyaqhubeka sithembela kakhulu ekusekeleni esikuthola eSikhwameni Samakhono Sikazwelonke. Njengoba ingxenye engamakota amathathu eNingizimu Afrika isemakhaya, abalimi abasafufusa kanye nalabo abazuza ekuguqulweni komhlaba basalokhu bethembele ku-SETA ukuze ibasekele. Isimo siyashuba nakakhulu ngenxa yokuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwezindawo zasemakhaya sekuyinto eseqhulwini kuzwelonke, futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi isidingo sokusekela sesiye saphindeka kabili. Izimali ze-AgriSETA zisalokhu zanele ezinhlanganweni ezikhokha izimali, kodwa imali yethu ihlangana nenani elikhulu lezinhlangano nabantu abangakhokhi izimali, futhi ngenxa yalokho ngikholisekile ukuthi iSikhwama Samakhono Sikazwelonke kufanele sihlangane ne-AgriSETA ukuze sithole uxhaso.

Ubudlelwane bethu noMnyango Wezemisebenzi (DoL) buyaqhubeka buchuma, nakuba kungokwezinga elilinganiselwe. Sisathola usizo ekuqinisekisweni nasesimweni sezimfuneko (i-Central Bargaining Chamber yeZinyunyana Zabasebenzi, lapho lonke ulwazi luqinisekiswa khona ngaphambi kokuba izinyunyana zivunyelwe ukuba zithole isihlalo) sababambiqhaza bethu bezemisebenzi ku-AgriSETA Accounting Authority. Okwesibili, i-DoL iye yasiza i-SETA ekuhambisaneni nemigomo yokuqasha ngokulingana ngokunikeza ukusekela nesiqondiso.

UMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemakhaya Nokuguqulwa Komhlaba

Kukhona ubudlelwano obuhle nokubambisana phakathi kwe- SETA noMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemakhaya Nokuguqulwa Komhlaba Kazwelonke. Uye wafaka nemali ku-SETA ukuze usekele izinhlelo zezolimo zalabo abazuza ohlelweni lokuguqulwa komhlaba, kuhlanganise nokuqeqesha imiphilandawonye ngohlelo "lokuLima Ndawonye". I-SETA ibandakanyekile nasezinhlelweni zokuqeqesha zezolimo ze-NARYSEC.

Abakhokhi bezimali zentela nababambiqhaza bezolimo kabanzi

Imali yethu eyintela engenayo iye yenyuka ngenani elingaphezu kuka-10% futhi iyaqhubeka nokwenyuka. Lokhu kungashiwo ukuthi kubangelwa ubudlelwane bethu nababambiqhaza kwezolimo nabakhokhi bemali eyintela, kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu ukukhula kweminotho namabhonasi akhokhelwa abasebenzi. Ukuze sithuthukise izinsizakalo zethu ezinkampanini ezikhokha intela, safaka uhlelo epulanini lamakhono endaweni yokusebenza (WSPs) nezinhlelo zokuqeqeshwa zaminyaka yonke (ATRs) emibukisweni yasemgwaqweni futhi sasopha izindawo eziqondile zalabo abafundisayo ekuthuthukisweni kwamakhona abasiza izinkampani ezikhokha izimali zentela. NgoNdasa sethula uhlelo olusha lokufaka izibonelelo eziyimpoqo futhi senza amawekhishophu kuzo zonke izifundazwe eziyisishiyagalolunye alabo abakhokha izimali zentela ukuze baqonde futhi basebenzise izibonelelo eziyimpoqo besebenzisa uhlelo olusha.

Indlela esenze ngayo kwezezimali

Izindaba zabasebenzi

I-SETA isathola inani eliphezulu lezicelo zako kokubili uhlelo lokufunda usebenza nolwamakhono eziledlula kude le inani lemali eyabelwe lona. Njengoba bebaningi abantu abathola umhlaba nemiphilandawonye yezolimo ebhaliswayo, bonke beza ku-AgriSETA ukuze bathole ukuqeqeshwa. Noma kunjalo, lolu phiko luye lwakwazi ukubhekelela izidingo ngokusekela kweKomiti Lokuhlinzekwa Kwamakhono (ikomiti elingaphansi kwe-Accounting Authority). Lolu phiko luyaqhubeka lufinyelela imigomo engaphezu kwaleyo ebekiwe esivumelwaneni sokusebenzisana.

Isiqondiso sesibonelelo esisha sika-2012 sesihambe ibanga elide ekwenezeleni oxhasweni lwemali esetshenziswa ngokubona kwethu, siyikhulisa isuka ku-20% iya ku-49,5%, okulethe imiphumela emihle. Lokhu kwenza i-SETA yenza kahle ekufakeni abafundi bezolimo be-Further Education and Training (FET) ekufundeni okuhlangene nokusebenza, okuyinto ehambisana ne-White Paper for Post-school Education and Training.

Lo mnyango wavakashela amakomiti angaphansi kwemboni (SSCs), okwavula ithuba lokuthola izidingo zawo. Uma siqhubekela phambili inselele iwukuqalisa iziphakamiso zawo. Kwethulwa uhlelo olusha loxhaso oluyimpoqo, futhi kwatholakala umbiko omuhle mayelana nokufinyeleleka nokusebenziseka kalula kwalolu hlelo. Sithemba ukuthi i-SETA izobona ukwanda okukhulu ezicelweni zesinxephezelo eziyimpoqo.UMnyango Wokuqinisekisa Ikhwalithi Yokuqeqeshwa Kwezemfundo (ETQA)UMnyango we-ETQA waba nohambo lokufunda oluyimpumelelo oluya e-Netherlands ukuze kuyofundwa indlela izinkampani zezolimo lapho eziqaphela ngayo ukufunda kwangaphambilini (RPL). Ukuqaliswa kwe-RPL embonini yezolimo kuyoqala ngonyaka-zimali ka-2014/15. Kuze kube namuhla, i-AgriSETA isihambise iziqu ezingu-25 ukuba zibhaliswe yi-QCTO. Lo mnyango wasingatha nabafundi be-FET (NCV 4) abangu-185 emakolishi ezolimo ukuze bafunde besebenza.

U-Caren, ongumsebenzi wezokuxhumana wethu, uyaqhubeka enza kahle. Esizwa yikomiti, wahlela ingqungquthela ehlelwe kahle. Empeleni, le ngqungquthela yaba ngaphezu kwalokho okwakulindelekile. Umbiko owusizo wanikezwa i-SETA. I-SETA yaba neqhaza nasemibukisweni yomsebenzi eminingana, eyafaka umfutho omusha kwezolimo.

Imali eyintela engena e-AgriSETA yenyuka ngo-21% (kusukela ezigidini ezingu-R223,1 ngo-2012/13 kuya ezigidini ezingu-R269,9 ngo-2013/14). Imali yokusebenza yangempela yayiyizigidi ezingu-R36,2 uma iqhathaniswa nezigidi ezingu-R32,1 ezatholakala onyakeni wezimali wangaphambilini. Isizathu sokwenyuka okungu-21% ukuthi kwakunokwenyuka enanini labaqashi abakhokha imali yentela kanye nasenanini eliphansi lomholo emikhakheni ethile yezolimo. Imali eyayabelwe ukuba siyisebenzise ngokubona kwethu kulo nyaka-zimali yizigidi ezingu-R144,2 uma iqhathaniswa nezigidi ezingu-R104,0. Ukwenyuka ngo-39% kwabangelwa kakhulu ushintsho ekuqondisweni kwemali yesibonelelo, kuyilapho isakhi esingokomthetho semali esetshenziswa ngokubona kwethu senyuka sisuka ku-20% siya ku-49,5%. Isiyonke imali esetshenziswayo eyimpoqo yayiyizigidi ezingu-R54,9 uma iqhathaniswa nezigidi ezingu-R99,8 kunyaka-zimali wangaphambilini. Lokhu kumelela ukwehla kuka-45% ngenxa yoshintsho lokulawulwa kwemali yesibonelelo, manje oseluthi isakhi esiyimpoqo u-20% hhayi u-50% wangaphambilini. I-AgriSETA isiwabile u-87% wemali yayo esele oyisebenzisa ngokubona kwayo.

Mhla zingama-31 kuNdasa 2014, i-AgriSETA ibingasenayo imali esele ezoyiyisa eSikhwameni Samakhono Sikazwelonke (NSF). Ngenxa yokuthi imali yabelwe izinkontileka, ayikho imali ezokhokhelwa i-NSF ngoMfumfu 2014. Ingaphezu kuka-95% imali esele ye-AgriSETA eyasetshenziswa ngezinkontileka ngokuphumelelayo, selilonke inali lezinkontileka laliyizigidi ezingu-R133,2.

Izindleko zokusebenza ze-AgriSETA zenyuka zaba yizigidi ezingu-R31,5 kulo nyaka (kusukela ezigidini ezingu-R28,0); lokhu kwamelela ukwenyuka ngo-12%. I-AgriSETA yayisengaphansi ngezigidi ezingu-R4,9 ezingeni elibekwe ngokomthetho lika-10%. Ukwanda kwezindleko zokuphatha kwakungenxa:

Yokwenyuka kwezimali zezindleko ze-Accounting AuthorityUkuthola usizo kwabanye nokwabela abanye eminye imisebenziImiholo

Sekukonke, izimali zethu ziphathwa kahle kakhulu ngosizo luka-Deloitte, futhi besihlale sithola umbiko ongenazici ehhovisi loMcwaningi-mabhuku Jikelele.

Kule nkathi ebuyekezwayo, i-AgriSETA ibinabasebenzi abangu-47, abanye besebenza ngezinkontileka zesikhathi esithile esinqunyiwe. Abasha abaqashiwe bahlanganisa imenenja yezoKuhlelwa Kwamakhono neyoMnyango Wezabasebenzi, uNksz Noluvuyo Bangani noNksz Thakane Motebang, uNobhala weBhodi, uMnu.

6.1 Vision

6.2 Mission

6.3 Values

The Agricultural Sector Education and Training Authority (AgriSETA) will be a true and legitimate partner to the stakeholders that represent the agricultural sector. AgriSETA will be a recognised and much appreciated vehicle to speed up training and development in order to establish sustainable, prosperous enterprises, also within rural communities, and a competent workforce.

Through trust and honest efforts, AgriSETA will gain credibility which will enhance communication and create understanding among all stakeholders. AgriSETA will stand tall as a successful authority that has improved productivity and the viability of enterprises, and has conquered the menace of illiteracy and the scourge of unemployment.

Our success will benefit everyone. Workers will be proud of their widely recognised abilities and will enjoy a well-deserved, higher standard of living. Employees and employers countrywide, keen to participate in training will inundate our offices with requests for learnerships and skills programmes.

AgriSETA will be particularly recognised for its efforts to develop its learners as whole beings. Personal horizons will be recreated and an array of unique, market-related skills across the total value chain will be stimulated to help establish prosperous and stable enterprises. These critical skills will be jealously nurtured and protected by a highly specialised industry.

AgriSETA will serve as a model of excellence and perform like a smooth - running engine – quietly yet powerful – setting new standards, acclaimed both locally and internationally. Loyalty to one another will be our trademark. The tenacity to secure funds for achieving our objectives will be our obsession and quality will be our passion. AgriSETA will challenge the peril and inherent risk of agriculture in Africa with versatility and vigour, to meet the changing demands of the business world.

AgriSETA creates and promotes opportunities for social, economic and employment growth for Agri-enterprises, in conjunction with other stakeholders in agriculture, through relevant, quality and accessible education, training and development in both primary and secondary agriculture.

Integrity. By Integrity the AgriSETA means "in all our relationships, interactions and transaction we will honour the spirit and letter of our agreements with our customers, colleagues, stakeholders and the communities we serve". Transparency. By Transparency the AgriSETA means "our decision making processes will at all times be subject to examination and the rationale behind such decisions will be openly revealed to affected and/or participating parties within or outside of the Authority". Respect. By Respect the AgriSETA means "we will govern our day to day operations and interpersonal interactions with respect for the cultures, customs and morals of the diverse backgrounds, environments and aspirations of our customers, colleagues, stakeholders and society". Empowerment. By Empowerment the AgriSETA means "AgriSETA members will have the authority to take the responsibility for decisions within the scope of their role definitions. In this they will be supported and their ability to innovate will be recognised".

6. STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

Page 33

In terms of the Skills Development Act of December 2008 the SETA's are there:

• To develop the skills of the South African workforce in order to improve productivity in the workplace and the competitiveness of employers.

• To increase the levels of investment in education and training in the labour market and increase the return on investment.

• To use the workplace as an active learning environment to provide opportunities for new entrants to the labour market to gain work experience.

• To improve employment prospects of persons previously disadvantaged by unfair discrimination and to redress those disadvantages through training and education.

PART B: PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

1. AUDITOR’S REPORT: PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES

Page 36

The Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) currently performs the necessary audit procedures on the performance information to provide reasonable assurance in the form of an audit conclusion. The audit conclusion on the performance against predetermined objectives is included in the report to management, with material findings being reported under the Predetermined Objectives heading in the Report on other legal and regulatory requirements section of the auditor’s report.

Refer to page 82 of the Report of the Auditor-General to Parliament, published as Part E Financial Information.

In the past year, AgriSETA performed very well, exceeding almost all of the targets it had agreed to achieve as per the Service Level Agreement (SLA). The targets that could not be achieved were bursaries and artisan completions where some learners took longer to complete or in cases where there were no placement for artisans.

One of the major contributing factors to the general over-achievement was the unexpected strong growth in income. Early in 2013 the minimum wage in the agricultural sector was increased by 54%. Expectations were that it would result in large scale retrenchments which will off-set any possible growth in income. Therefore whilst it was safe to project a minimal growth from the 2012/2013 financial year, the actual growth was more than 10%. This enabled the SETA to allocate more funds towards discretionary projects during the course of the year. In as much as the SETA has achieved the set targets, there is still that intention of doing more in terms of training as more than 50% of workers in this sector are unskilled, budget remains the limiting factor.

It remains a challenge for the SETA to sufficiently deliver against expressed needs. This has been a challenge from the inception of the AgriSETA. Even though AgriSETA over the years experienced a growth beyond the Consumer Price Index (CPI), applications for financial assistance with human development initiatives exceeded available funds by approximately threefold.

One of the steps taken to manage this dilemma is to systematically focus more attention on full qualifications and academic learning which is perceived as a better investment of limited funds. However the need for short learning programmes (skills programmes) will always be part of the agricultural sector due to poor educational levels of the workforce. Finally it should be noted that organised agriculture, especially commodity organisations and agribusinesses are becoming more and more active in the establishment of and assistance to new farmers. Many successful efforts of commercialising small scale farmers are recorded. This growing development places further pressure on the entities available discretionary funds.

The year 2013/2014 was a smooth year for AgriSETA. There were no major challenges experienced that could impact on service delivery.

Regulation 990 of 3 December 2012 on SETA Grant Regulations, where the Mandatory Grant reduced from 50% to 20% of SETA income did bring about dissatisfaction in most employers. The impact of this is not yet visible; assumption is that there may be some employers that are not keen on filling in application forms for claiming of the grants. This may impact negatively in the SETA as these reports are among the sources of getting information on scarce and critical skills. However, on the positive side, the reduction in mandatory grants resulted in an increase in discretionary funds (from 20% to 49.5%). Whilst employers lose out on mandatory grants, the opportunity to replace such loss with discretionary allocations can offset the negative experience.

AgriSETA is expected to develop a research system to generate evidence-based formation that informs skills planning and delivery processes. This goal is not yet met. AgriSETA outsources the research that informs its skills planning processes. As stated previously, financial and human resources are the limiting factors. However, a series of workshops were conducted with all Sub Sector Committees between September and October 2013 with the quest of wanting to make them more active in fulfilling the function of identifying scarce and critical skills in the workplace.

2.3.7 Public sector capacity:

AgriSETA used the bulk of its discretionary fund to support training of both employed and unemployed learners. Taking into consideration that the agricultural sector employs the highest number of unskilled and lower level of learning workers, funding for Adult Education and Training (AET) programmes were also allocated. Other funded programmes included learnerships and skills programmes. To address the middle-level skills gap, the SETA funded artisan development programmes. For middle and high-level skills gaps, bursaries were allocated with priority being given to learners who study towards qualifications that address scarce and critical skills in the sector. To bridge the gap between post-school learning and the world of work, work integrated learning opportunities in the form of internships and graduate placement were funded.

(Refer to the Performance Targets table)

AgriSETA has a programme geared towards addressing the needs of land reform beneficiaries. The programme has been rolled out in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Eastern Cape. The SETA continues to support these projects through training and mentorships depending on the needs of the project. AgriSETA is co-funding the land reform project with the National Skills Fund (NSF). AgriSETA, in partnership with the Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), also developed an innovative programme to build capacity in agricultural co-ops, namely the Farm Together programme. This programme is aimed at developing local organisational capacities in order to have concerted action and gain critical mass.

For the 2013/2014 financial year, more than 185 graduates were placed in Further Education and Training (FET) Colleges and Agricultural Colleges to help improve agricultural programmes and research in those colleges. AgriSETA also allocated a sum of R6 000 000 for funding of 12 Agricultural Colleges. This fund is to be used for capacity building, curriculum or learning programme development, lecturer training and development, and infrastructure.

Refer to the Mandatory Report under the Skills planning department.

As a way of changing the perceived image young people have on agriculture and exposing them to possible careers in the field, AgriSETA in partnership with Grain SA, PMA Foundation and other Government departments conducted career guidance to 742 schools countrywide reaching out to more than 100 000 school children.

AgriSETA is aware that extension and rural advisory services are essential to enable farmers to improve their practices and help them respond to emerging challenges. It is for this reason that AgriSETA aims at increasing the capacity of the public sector and other relevant actors to improve service delivery and provide appropriate support for agricultural and rural development. Ten scholarships were awarded to 10 Extension Officers, studying B Agric Hon at the University of Pretoria as a way of up-skilling them so that they are capable of providing technical support needed by emerging farmers and land reform beneficiaries.

3. Strategy to overcome areas of under performance

Changes to planned targets

There were no areas of under performance except for artisan and bursary completions, due to external forces outside of the SETA.

No targets were adjusted during the year under review. However an adjusted Annual Performance Plan (APP) was re-submitted to the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). This was however for a technical reason - the Auditor-General did advise the SETA to rewrite its targets in more specific terms. Thus whilst targets did not change, it was rewritten to meet "specific, measurable, assignable, realistic, time-related" (SMART) principles.

These were the targets as set out for the SETA.

The Skills Planning Department comprises of two sections: Skills Reporting and Mandatory Grants. The table below depicts the staff members in this department:

Skills Reporting Data on learner registrations and completions for the financial year 2013/2014 was captured. Quarterly reports were compiled and submitted to the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). Additional reports were also compiled for as when and where required.

Refer to the Performance Information Table.

For the year 2013/2014, employers that applied for Mandatory Grant totaled 1754. Out of 1754, 1025 were approved. This shows a slight decrease compared to the 2012/2013 number of approvals which was 1123. This can/maybe attributed to the decrease from 50% to 20% in Mandatory Grant which was effective 1 April 2013. AgriSETA is striving towards improving the number of applications for grants and also improving the quality of the data supplied in Workplace Skills Plans (WSPs) and Annual Training Reports (ATRs). As a way of working towards this, a new computer programme for submission of WSPs and ATRs has been developed and it went live in March 2014. The Skills Planning Department embarked on a road show in March where they gave training to Skills Development Facilitators (SDFs) and employers on the new programme for submission of WSPs and ATRs. The programme was well received by the Skills Development Facilitators (SDFs).

Another positive stride in AgriSETA was that of interSETA transfers, where 10 employers transferred in to AgriSETA and only 3 transferred out to other SETAs.

The SSP which has been prepared for the period 2011 to 2016 in accordance with the Skills Development Act (Chapter 3; Section 10) was updated for the year 2014/2015. The SSP was drawn to be aligned with the National Policies. It was submitted to the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) after being interrogated by the Skills Planning Standing Committee. This committee gave their inputs and final recommendation to the Accounting Authority before this document was submitted to DHET in November 2013.

This is the committee whose function is to advise the Skills Planning Manager on issues pertaining to skills planning. It comprises of a Ministerial appointee (Mr Thami Ka Plaatjie), two members from the employers (Ms Jacomien de Klerk and Ms Jacquie Bhana) and two members from the workers' union (Ms Jacqueline Breda and Mr Julius Mano).

These are the committees that have been tasked with the function of identifying scarce and critical skills in the workplace within each sub sector and hence generate input in the Sector Skills Plan.

Currently, AgriSETA has eleven sub sectors. A series of meetings were conducted with all SSCs between September and October 2013 with the quest of trying to know new developments in their specific areas of work in order to inform new research and new funding from the SETA.

As a way of addressing the third Strategic Goal of AgriSETA, which is "Strengthen agricultural and rural development processes and strategies to alleviate poverty, and promote food security and growth of the rural economy", AgriSETA is in the process of forming a new sub sector, Rural Development Sub Sector Committee which will look at scarce and critical skills needed in this sub sector.

This goal is also in alignment with one of the key developmental and transformational imperatives with which the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) III will be measured against, that is, not to train rural people in order to migrate to urban areas but train them for production of skills for rural economic development.

AgriSETA Annual Information Sessions

Annually AgriSETA stakeholders are invited to attend information sessions which are held nationally. These sessions are held to inform stakeholders of the developments and changes within the SETA landscapes. Presentations are made by the management of the AgriSETA, and thereafter are open session discussion with stakeholders. Stakeholders, specifically the Skills Development Facilitators (SDF's) also have an interactive session with the submission of the Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) and Annual Training Report (ATR). Last year stakeholders were informed to the new change of the Seta Management System to the new Indicium system which was a simplified version.

5.1 MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

Ms Caren CleinwerckMarketing and Communications Coordinator

The AgriSETA website still serves as the main tool of information for stakeholders when there are any relevant changes. Mail shots of updated information such as window application periods, deadlines for submission of WSP's and ATR's etc is also forwarded to stakeholders to keep abreast of matters.

The number of visitors can be misleading because of proxy servers used by bigger companies. The proxy server registers one visitor per server even if there are more visitors.

Visit: Anyone who visits the site at least once. A cookie or an Internet Protocol (IP) address uniquely identifies a user. If there are no cookies available, the IP Address is used to determine a unique visitor. A unique visit is the number of unique visits in a specific time period from a unique IP Address or cookie used.

Visitors: A series of consecutive requests from a user. If for example a visitor with IP Address 1.2.3.4, visits the site, logs out and another visitor logs in an hour later with the same IP Address, there would be two user sessions but one unique visitor.

Page Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) View: The request for a file defined as a page file. Page requests do not include hits to images, component pages of a frame or other non-html files.

The AgriSETA had a two day session with stakeholders which included the Annual General Meeting (AGM), an Excellence Awards Dinner and a Seminar. At the AGM, the annual financial statements were presented to the 200 stakeholders attending. These were presented by Deloitte and stakeholders were satisfied with the financial reporting and also that the SETA had received an unqualified report from the Auditor-General.

After the AGM, stakeholders were invited to a Gala Dinner. This forms part of thanking stakeholders for their participation throughout the year. At the dinner, was also the awarding of prizes to those who entered into the Excellence Awards competition which opened in April 2013. The Excellence Awards are to promote the spirit of excellence and to encourage stakeholders to uphold good skills development practices in the skills development arena. Nominations were received countrywide, where the Organising Committee (OC) did desktop evaluations, site inspections at short listed candidates and the adjudication of entries after the practical observations.

Seminar

Exhibitions

Holding the second seminar of the AgriSETA, the focus was on the Public Further Education and Training Colleges and Agricultural Colleges as echoed by the Minister of Higher Education and Training. Speakers such as Professor Sipho Shabalala gave the keynote address of positioning agricultural further education and training colleges for skills delivery for agricultural and rural development. Also the ministers focus of making every workplace a training space, Mr Kobus Snyman of Qutom Farms presented on the their role of hosting interns and learners needing workplace experience. Other invited speakers were Dr Tholsia Naidoo, the Chairperson of the Association of Private Providers of Education and Training Development.

The AgriSETA participated at various Career Exhibitions targeting the Grade 9 - 12 learners exposing these young people to opportunities in agriculture and rural development. These events are attended nationally. Exhibitions were held at universities, colleges as well as hosting careers with employer organisations and municipalities. Career Guidance Workshops were attended by all SETAs to give their inputs with regard to the strategy for the implementation of the "Framework for Cooperation in the provision of Career Development (Information, Advice and Guidance) Services in South Africa”. The objective was to: * Present an overview of and orientation to the approved 'Framework for Cooperation in the provision of

Career Development Services in South Africa'; * Develop a shared understanding of Career Development Services based on the Minister's vision for a

National Career Development Service; * Discuss the coordination of activities contained in section 15 – 'Summary of Actions and Way forward'

of the framework and agree on an overarching implementation strategy; * Discuss the proposed roles and responsibilities of stakeholders listed in the framework and develop

shared understandings and appreciations thereof; and * Propose formal institutional options to coordinate Career Development Services in South Africa The task team was disbanded on 5 March 2014 and the SETA will be represented not as an individual but part of the SETA Forum meetings.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) System and Structure Development

The implementation of RPL in the agriculture sector has been a critical NSDS III objective to achieve. The agriculture sector cannot shy away from the reality that, it is one of those economic sectors that are characterised by levels of illiteracy in the workplaces. Taking from the recommendations made by the South African Quality Assurance (SAQA) to the portfolio committee on higher education and training, August 2009, that: “Strategic internationally-benchmarked decisions regarding the key drivers of RPL are needed, in relation to removing barriers; building good practice; advocacy and the creation of advisory services”. In its endeavour to make breakthrough to implement RPL, the AgriSETA ETQA initiated a study trip to Netherlands to explore:

• The RPL models in use; • The legislative environment: that is government and institutional policies on RPL; • Articulation and progression of qualifications for RPL candidates; • Mechanisms and enablers for the implementation of RPL; • Funding options to implement and support RPL practice; • Support structures such as mentoring, coaching and counselling.

It is overly acknowledged that the RPL system has not been tested to any noticeable level in South Africa, but yet a critical tool in building bridges for career pathing and removing learning barriers for ordinary citizens. The triangular strategic approach to RPL by the Dutch education system proves to be a robust approach to RPL implementation. The agriculture sector can use such ideas and strategies to create a good foundation in building RPL system in the sector. Paying attention and building of key RPL pillars such as sustainable support and legitimacy; feasible operations and administration and creation of public value, will build confidence and hope to the public about RPL.

While acknowledging efforts that are notable in the policy development and consultation with broader stakeholders, QCTO does not seem to make breakthrough in finalising systems and structures that are

5.2 EDUCATION TRAINING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE (ETQA)

Page 52

critical in implementing QCTO programmes. The accreditation of skills development providers, the process of registering occupational qualifications; certification of learners and the quality assurance architecture aligned to deliver on these areas do not seem to be on immediate list priorities. From the public eye, these areas require finality. It will be a 'cart in front of the horse' situation to have an array of qualifications registered with no providers accredited and ready to offer such qualifications.

The system cannot take off without requisite and capable institutions to take it (the system) to the next level. Lessons deducted from the outgoing system can attest that institutional capacity holds water in the implementation of new system such as QCTO programmes which include Inter Alia:

• Capacity building for subject matter referees for the new occupational qualifications; • Management Information systems (MIS) aligned to new learner achievement upload

requirements for the qualifications; • Learnership regulations to accommodate the new qualification occupational structures

and funding model thereof etc. • The new qualification registration processes need to bring improvements in terms of

expediency which the outgoing registration processes lacked; • Putting moratorium of qualification submissions is indicative of the resource and capacity

requirements, attention to capacity building cannot be overemphasised.

Experience will tell that the length of time to register a qualification in a new system is by far too long than it used to be in the past system. More checks and balances for administrative requirements with emphasis templates and pedagogical terminologies. Moratorium on submission of qualifications was instituted as a measure to put breaks on proliferation of qualification production, understandably so, because certain systems are not yet in place as alluded to in aforementioned points.

One of the highlights emanating from the outgoing systems on registration process that the new process can emulate was the registration of qualifications on three year cycle and, are reviewed thereafter and if are found to be fit for purpose, they are re-registered, if not they face riddance. This arrangement can be replicated into the new system to assist in expediency of registration of qualifications.

Despite legislative changes, the private institutions have confirmed their intended participation into the new order during AgriSETA annual road show. They assured that they would be ready to align and comply with new requirements of:

• accreditation; • registration of assessors; • monitoring of provisioning; • certification of learners; • facilitation of development of occupational qualifications

The basis and the common ground to base this kind of model is not yet found, however the challenge does not take away the critical need to open dialogue with critical role players, in order to ascertain a space to create a workable and robust partnership model amongst the private and public institutions, and synergies on resources recapitalisation.

The AgriSETA ETQA has initiated the formation of the partnership between the University of Limpopo, Waterberg FET College and workplace and Tompi Seleka College of Agriculture. The second cluster is the University of Venda, Vhembe FET College and Madzivhandile College of Agriculture.

The model aims to pave career paths for learners who have completed National Certificate Vocational (NCV's) and N6 programmes at the FET colleges to be supported through the arrangement from FET College to Agriculture College and access to university programmes. The partners will identify the specific

programmes to pilot the model. The Department of Education Limpopo is a key partner in coordinating the educational aspects of the partnership. The plenary meeting has already taken place and put together a way forward this starts with collation of information.

The AgriSETA had entered into an agreement with Agricultural colleges on issues of financial support. The colleges were given an amount of R500 000 per college to assist in building capacity which includes inter alia:

• Lectureship development; • Learning tutorial development; • Placement of learners from FET colleges at the college; • Research and development • Programme reviews and adjustments etc.

They are generally well positioned geographically to enable access to less resourced farmers to comprehensive training in agricultural production. Many of the farmers who need training are not destined to meet the criteria for Higher Education and Training (HET) entrance. The agricultural colleges are well positioned to fulfill this need. Additively, some of the colleges have developed excellent reputations for farmer training within specific sectors and commodity groupings within the agricultural sector.

It is anticipated that such farmer training will continue to feature prominently within the sector.

It is, however, expected that the agricultural colleges will consult with the other stakeholders in their respective areas to determine training needs and significantly so build relationships with private training institutions to increase training capacity and better widespread to cover greater farming communities. Through this collaboration, Agricultural colleges through the Association of Principals of Agricultural Colleges (APAC) have assisted in absorbing NCV4 learners from FET colleges and placed them into the college compasses for practical exposure and:

• Mentoring and coaching inputs for these learners and • Building requisite amount of practical's to exit with Diplomas

• Lovedale FET • King Hintsa FET • Fort Cox (host and learner placement) • Tsolo (host and learner placement) • Grootfontein college (host and learner placement)

• Umfolozi FET • Mthashana FET • Esayidi FET • Elangeni FET • Majubua FET • Owen Sithole (host and learner placement) • Cedara College of Agriculture (host and learner placement) • James Nxumalo (host and learner placement)

• Enhlanzeni FET • Lowveld College of Agriculture and Marapyane satellite campus of Lowveld College are the hosts.

Overview of the Skills Delivery Department It is now three years since the introduction of NSDS lll which brought in new challenges to SETAs and in particular AgriSETA's Skills Delivery Department. The new challenges are among others,

• Increased access to training and skills development opportunities, achieving fundamental transformation of inequalities, collaboration with FET Colleges and skills shortages and mismatches.

• The involvement of AgriSETA in Youth development, FET /Agricultural Colleges collaboration and Cooperative development.

This calls for the Skills Delivery Department to be ready to accept this challenge. The new Grant Regulations which came into effect in December 2012 also brought in a new look in the delivery of skills by SETAs with more emphasis on Professional Vocational, Technical and Academic Learning (PIVOTAL) skills. It also called for more human capacity into the department as 30% of Mandatory Grants will be forming part of the Discretionary grants.

The Skills Delivery Department staff has been structured to mitigate these challenges by aligning its functions according to available staff and learning programmes offered by AgriSETA. The Skills Delivery staff component still stands at fifteen (15) with the addition of two (2) interns. It is the intention of the Skills Delivery Department to expose most of our young graduates to workplaces such as AgriSETA. The Department is still experiencing poor return of contracts by stakeholders after approval letters

have been sent out. This has a potential to negatively impact on AgriSETA not reaching 95% contracted funds by the end of the financial year. The Skills Delivery Department is working very hard in ensuring that AgriSETA's little resources are effectively utilised to redress many skills shortages in the sector as well as not losing Discretionary funds.

The Skills Delivery Department staff has been structured to mitigate these challenges by aligning its functions according to available staff and learning programmes offered by AgriSETA. As reported in 2012/2013 fiscus, Land Reform, now Rural Development and Mentoring function was incorporated in the Skills Delivery Department as it is involved in the same delivery drive. Farm Together roll out resumed in the latter part of the 2012/2013 financial year and this was funded by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR). In 2013/2014, further funding for this programme was made available by DRDLR. As reported in the 2012/2013 financial year, AgriSETA had its presence in the three provinces, namely; Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu Natal. It is still the intention of AgriSETA to expand its provincial presence in the Eastern Cape Province in 2013/2014 financial year.

1. Introduction

2. Portfolio Committees

3. Executive Committee

Corporate governance embodies processes and systems by which public entities are directed, controlled and held to account. In addition to legislative requirements based on a public entity's enabling legislation, and the Companies Act, corporate governance with regard to public entities is applied through the precepts of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and run in tandem with the principles contained in the King's Report on Corporate Governance. Parliament, the Executive and the Accounting Authority of the public entity are responsible for corporate governance.

The AgriSETA did not attend any portfolio committee meetings in the year under review.

The Executive Committee meets regularly to discuss pertinent issues (eg. staff related matters) and is closely linked to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and provide much needed guidance and support.

• AgriSETA has an approved risk policy and risk register in place. • Risks are addressed by departments on a continuous basis and an integrated register is revised

annually during the SETAs annual strategic planning session. • In defining risks, the AgriSETA works in close collaboration with its appointed Internal Auditors. During

the latter part of the previous financial year the Internal Auditors actually facilitated a session with AgriSETA staff to also identify strategic risks (in addition to operational risks identified by various departments.

• At each standing Audit and Risk Committee meeting risks are submitted and considered by the committee. In the case of AgriSETA the risk committee forms an integral part of the audit committee. Quarterly the Internal Auditors will submit directly to the Audit and Risk Committee their objective view of risks inherent to the institution.

It is the task of the Audit and Risk Committee to meet at least quarterly (prior to Board Meetings) to consider

• Finances of the SETA • Internal Auditors quarterly reports • Fraud and fraud hotline related matters • Any misappropriation of funds

• AgriSETA has a fraud prevention policy in place and implements it actively.

• Apart from the policy, AgriSETA has a formal and well communicated Fraud Hotline in place which is managed by an external autonomous provider. Each year on the annual road show stakeholders are made aware of the hotline and invited to use it if they suspect any wrong doing. This is also permanently displayed on the AgriSETA website and also appears under the signature of staff members' e-mails.

• Cases are reported anonymously (if so preferred) via;

o Fraud hotline toll free number o e-mail o fax o post

The service provider will immediately record the complaint and forward it directly to the Internal Auditors and the CEO. Cases are then handed down to the relevant manager to investigate and conclude. All these cases are then reported upon at the next Audit and Risk Committee meeting.

Annually AgriSETA requests employees to complete a Declaration of Interest as to inform if there may be any conflict of interests.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is an integral part of financial management, which intends to introduce best practices. It seeks to breach the gap between traditional methods of procuring goods and services and the balance of the supply chain and at the same time addressing procurement related matters that are of strategic importance. SCM is a tool to be used to achieve these strategic objectives.

The objective of SCM is to ensure the efficient, effective and uniform planning for and procurement of all services and goods, required for the proper functioning of AgriSETA as well as the sale and letting of assets that conforms to constitutional and legislative principles whilst developing, supporting and promoting historically disadvantaged individuals, black economic empowerment, small, medium and micro enterprises (SMME's) and preferential goals.

AgriSETA commits itself to a policy of fair dealing and integrity in the conducting of its SCM activities. AgriSETA abides by the AgriSETA Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for SCM practitioners as contained in National Treasury's Practice Note Number SCM 4 of 2003. These Codes direct all SCM practitioners and role players in their conduct within and with AgriSETA.

Non-compliance with Procurement Requirements: Legislated procurement processes need to be followed at all times except for deviations permitted by legislation. Deviations from supply chain management requirements should be adequately motivated and duly approved by the accounting authority and/or delegated officials. Contract Management: Inadequate contract management poses the following risks:

• Underperforming suppliers may be utilised again in future for procurements which may hamper the operation of the SETA.

• Payments made for non-delivery of services resulting in fruitless and wasteful expenditure.

Supply Chain Management

An electronic SCM system has been implemented to monitor all payments against contracted amounts. Invoices cannot be processed if the contract budget is exceeded. A register of contracts concluded with service providers is maintained with clear contract deliverables which are monitored against performance. Prospective Providers List: A list of prospective suppliers to be used for the procurement requirements in terms of legislation should be used effectively to promote Black Economic Empowerment through the participation of black owned enterprises, black empowered enterprises, black women-owned enterprises (as defined in the Strategy for Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment issued by the Department of Trade and Industry) as well as the promotion of businesses owned by other Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDIs). The Preferred Providers List is updated and uploaded on a quarterly basis on the SCM system. Quotations are requested from the providers on our PPL on a rotation basis.

The Accounting Authority approved a "Code of Conduct" policy for AgriSETA employees. The Code of Conduct is designed to outline the ethical standards and norms adhered to and upheld by AgriSETA in the provision of services and doing business.

The Code should act as a guideline to employees as to what is expected of them from an ethical point of view, both in their individual conduct and in their relationship with others. Compliance with the Code can be expected to enhance professionalism. The Code of Conduct is applicable to all staff members of AgriSETA.

A health and safety committee is established at the AgriSETA

The Company Secretary provides Board Members with guidance and advice about matters of good governance and ethics, as well as nature and extent of their duties and responsibilities and how the duties should be discharged.

AgriSETA is still in partnership with AgriSA distributing a DVD which highlights the Code of Best Practice for HIV/AIDS which is freely available for companies to train their employees.

Challenges Faced by the Public Entity

The human resources function has been given prominence at AgriSETA in the period under review. This step emanates from the unbundling of functions previously clustered in corporate services and the subsequent appointment of an HR Manager to lead the function and implement organisation development measures. There are already a range of interventions taking place to aid AgriSETA become the employer of choice while achieving its legislative mandate. Change in human resources practices is becoming the order of the day at AgriSETA. Underlying all organisation development activities is the concern for the well being and development of employees.

Strategic priorities for the year included job evaluation which is currently underway and continuing to train new entrants into the job market by acquiring additional interns.

In the quest to improve its talent for goal attainment and grow the leadership pipeline AgriSETA acquired three specialist managers reporting to the CEO. It also increased its number of interns to contribute to the national objective of improving workplace readiness skills for those completing tertiary education. Employment Equity considerations and goals were top of mind in implementing these appointments.

AgriSETA's performance management philosophy is guided by the adage "that which gets measured, is achieved". Employees' performance reviews based on key performance indicators were done in March and September. A plan for the next reporting cycle is to introduce a performance system linked to rewards management.

Employee Assistance programmes helps those with personal and social problems affecting or likely to have a negative impact on their jobs. Some employees took advantage of AgriSETA's policy, requested and were granted support for assistance for social illnesses.

The focus on separating functions previously held by Corporate Services Manager and devolved to Human Resources Manager created an adjustment period for both portfolio holders. This resulted in no policy reviews and adoptions during this reporting period.

Highlights of the year include the procurement of senior managers with good credentials and whose performance is evident in the positive impact on achievement of objectives. A job profiling and grading of all staff was undertaken but is being reviewed for accuracy before implementation.

AgriSETA is faced with challenges of growing the talent pool and pipeline. These are change management, acquiring sufficient resources to implement training and other capacity building interventions in a cost containment era. However, the challenges are being confronted head on because of recognition that the entity needs revival in people management policies and practices.
