Nzimande said while there were 183,893 places for first-year university students this year, the FET college sector had 100,000 places and the Sector Education and Training Authorities (Setas) had 18,000 learnership and internship opportunities.

Eighteen thousand learnership opportunities? Is this the total number of learners available, or is it the total number of learnerships available? If it's the latter then it's very clear that the drafters of the original BEE codes did no research as to how many learnerships there are when they put in a target of 5% under skills development.
If not, then it is bad reading on my part. Would anyone care to inform me.
