South Africa is currently experiencing a shortage of skilled artisans. This research is focused on determining the reasons why artisans are leaving the trade and what can be done to assist artisans to stay in the trade. The study utilised a sample survey with 79 respondents from Sasol. The study found that remuneration remains one of the main reasons for artisan dissatisfaction and to solve the current crises, remuneration levels will need to be investigated and adjusted.
