(a) (iii) There was no need to recover funds, as these contracts were cancelled and the funds were reallocated to other performing training providers. TETA had established that some recipients had capacity challenges and some had valid reasons for the delays. Recipients with capacity challenges were subjected to a capacity building intervention and those with valid reasons for delays were reconsidered, thus affording them an opportunity to implement training programmes in the following financial year.
