11 April 2023 - NW844
Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Employment and Labour
What total number of electricians are registered in the Republic since 1 January 2015?
Reply:
National Skills Authority is not an entity of the Department of Employment and Labour. This entity resides in the other sister department. We can therefore reply to your question by stating what is in our purview, the total number of registered persons that have been registered in terms of the Electrical Installation Regulations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993, as amended, since 1 January 2015 is 8512. They are registered in the following categories:
Electrical Testers for Single Phase: 2814
Installation Electricians: 5387
Master Installation Electricians: 311
