W&RSETA Levy Paying are hereby invited to submit Proposals for implementation of Projects in collaboration with the W&RSETA in the 2025/26 Financial Year under the W&RSETA/Employer Partnership Project. The partnership is aimed at addressing three of the outcomes (Outcome 5, 6 and 8) as identified in the W&RSETA 2025-2030 Strategic Pan.

The CUT-W&RSETA Research Leadership Chair embarked on a Food Safety Training Programme to training, mentor, and support 2000 SMMEs to enhance food safety practices. The programme is part of the W&RSETA initiative to drive inclusive economic growth through government, education, and community partnerships.

The Wholesale and Retail SETA (W&RSETA) in collaboration with the Department of Retail Business Management at Cape Peninsula University of Technology conducted a transformative workshop programme to raise awareness on the prevalent issue of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The workshops were a demonstration of a commitment to creating safer, more inclusive communities within the wholesale and retail space and country at large.

The W&RSETA reported a successive unqualified audit report and a record-high 94% achievement from the Auditor-General South Africa at the Annual General Meeting held in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape on 15 October 2025. Stakeholders adopted the W&RSETA 2024/25 Annual Report and the 2025/26 Annual Performance Plan.

Thank you to all our stakeholders for enabling these achievements.
