  • Important Note for the Media
    LIST OF PRIVATE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROVIDERS THAT HAVE LODGED APPLICATIONS TO BE REGISTERD AS PRIVATE COLLEGES WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING [UPDATED ON 28 January 2020] IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE MEDIA The Department of Higher Education and Training recognizes that the information contained in the List is of public interest and that the media may wish to publish it. In order to avoid misrepresentation in the public domain, the Department of Higher Education and Training kindly requests that the published list of Skills Development Providers that have lodged applications to be registered as private colleges be accompanied by the relevant explanatory information below. The List is available for inspection at: http://www.dhet.gov.za/Registers_DocLib/Register INTRODUCTION Section 29 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Constitution) provides that everyone has the right to establish and maintain at their own expense a private educational institution as long as the independent institution: (a) does not discriminate on the basis of race; (b) is registered with the State; and (c) maintains standards that are not inferior to standards comparable to public education institutions. Previously the private SDPs could not be registered with the Department because the Skills Development Act (SDA), 1998 (Act No. 97 of 1998), as amended, in its current form does not provide for registration of SDPs but requires them to be accredited in order to operate legally in South Africa. In order to fulfil the provision of Section 29(3) of the Constitution, a Joint Communiqué 1 of 2016: The Registration and Accreditation for Private Education Providers Offering Qualifications and Part-Qualifications on the Occupational Qualifications Sub- Framework was promulgated in October 2016.

  • Cemeteries & Crematoria
    JOHANNESBURG CITY PARKS CEMETERIES & CREMATORIA Foreword by Prema Naidoo It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Johannesburg City Parks 2008 Cemeteries brochure to the residents of Prema Naidoo the City of Johannesburg. Member Mayoral Committee: Environment City of Johannesburg Cemeteries play an important role in the history and making of Johannesburg, and are critical green lungs for our growing city. We look forward to the new cemeteries coming on line at Johannesburg, with Diepsloot and Waterval, and other locations in the near future. Flora Mokgohloa Executive Director: Environmental Management I have memories myself of the cremation of my own family City of Johannesburg members. My grandfather, well-known activist Thami Naidoo, was cremated at the Hindu Crematorium. I know that many others share memories of people now lying in our cemeteries. It is important to us at City Parks that the cemeteries are Luther Williams more than repositories of the dead, but become memorial Managing Director: Johannesburg City Parks gardens for the living. It is our vision that people will visit the cemeteries as places to find peace and tranquility, and be inspired and refreshed by the cemeteries of today. Though the issue of mortality is one faced by all humans, we endeavour to make our lives worthwhile. It is how we wish to be remembered once we are gone. A lasting resting place is a testament to a life well lived. 1 Johannesburg City Parks Cemeteries and Crematoria Introduction About Cemeteries Johannesburg City Parks and Cemeteries History
