No date yet for implementation of new law on fake qualifications

Cape Town - Fourteen months after signing into law the National Qualification Framework (NQF) Amendment Act, President Cyril Ramaphosa has yet to proclaim the date for its implementation.
The Act, which clamps down on fake qualifications, was passed by the National Assembly in November 2018 and the National Council of Provinces in March 2019 before being signed into law by Ramaphosa in August 2019.
The NQF Amendment Act gives the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) the responsibility to verify all national qualifications and part-qualifications.
Employers, government departments, education and training institutions and professional bodies are obliged to verify if their employees or members’ qualifications are registered on the NQF register.
