To Loraine Koekemoer
Thank you for your comments and questions.
What can i say and how can i advise with your problem and lack of feedback from ETDP SETA and INSETA. All I can suggest is to contact these institutions directly and send a letter to the Minister of Higher Education airing your views and disappointment. You could also post a comment on their social media pages. The main priority of these institutions is to promote education and build a better South Africa. Perhaps you can also sent a note to your department head and Minister of Health who might be able to assist you.
