The main purpose of the legislative framework for training and development in South Africa is to control, fund, and oversee training and development in the country. The objective is to ensure that training and development are integrated into national policies and programmes. The legislation also ensures that all South Africans have access to quality training opportunities.
The legislative authority of South Africa is vested in the Parliament of South Africa. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, provides that Parliament may make laws for the peace, order and good government of South Africa.
This includes all matters coming within the classes of subjects enumerated in Schedule 4 to the Constitution as well as any other subject that it has the power to legislate for.
The executive authority is vested in the President and Cabinet who are responsible for implementing and enforcing legislation.
What is legislation?
Legislation is a set of rules, norms, and standards that are enforced by the government. Legislation is an important way for governments to control how people behave in society. It can be used to regulate a wide range of behaviours from how people should dress to what kind of food they should eat.
