Tom Mkhwanazi, W&R SETA CEO, reiterated that for them funding the college was not a difficult task to decide but was in line with their mandate to facilitate education and skills development through implementation of the of the National Skills Development Plan (NSDP) 2030 within the wholesale and retail sector.

Mkhwanazi said lack of training facilities to produce qualified artisans in Limpopo has been identified as a collaborative opportunity which has resulted in W&R SETA partnering with Sekhukhune TVET College to construct a skills centre which would benefit Sekhukhune district and surrounding areas, particularly young people.
