There were no training opportunities for the employees of Duvha power stations, and no skills transfer was taking place at the construction of unit 4. Instead pensioners were recycled to come and work as consultants in the company. Training that was conducted on site was not accredited and was not relevant. Labour raised concerns regarding the salary parities among workers and the absence of a performance management and appraisal system. There were no skills development and job creation initiatives to improve the lives of the adjacent communities.
