Services SETA had been under administration for almost two years. The extent of irregularities and corruption in SSETA was attributed as the main reason the period of the administrator was prolonged. During his tenure, the administrator developed a new delivery model which would replace the use of intermediaries who benefited more than R800 million in the use of the previous model from 2007 - 2010. The change had not been easy owing to resistance both internally in the SSETA and externally amongst stakeholders who used SSETA as an ATM or business opportunity. The envisaged take over of the new accounting authority from 1 July 2013 dons a new era for SSETA which aimed to achieve its targets of 2016.
