The municipality reported that there was informal training provided on site and on the job without accredited certificates. The municipality had its own data capturers and no data capturers from the Department of Public Works. The municipality created entrepreneurs under their Vukuphile programme and had a plan to create co-operatives. Under the Vukuphile programme they could promote labour-intensive methods on projects and could also train contractors by teaching them business skills. Ten contractors were on CIDB level one - three were chosen from the Buffalo City by the National Department of Public Works in partnership with the Construction SETA to be trained on business skills and other areas; these would most likely be lifted to level six through this training opportunity.
