The Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority (Inseta) is at the centre of an internal dispute over allegations of "double-dipping", according to a report by TimesLIVE published on Saturday, 5 September 2026.
TimesLIVE reports that the disagreement has caused ructions within the organisation, with the term "double-dipping" suggesting that individuals may be receiving payments or benefits from more than one source for the same work or period. The specific details of the allegations, including who is involved and what positions they hold, have not been disclosed in the available reporting.
The story, which appeared under the headline "'Double-dipping' ructions at Inseta", indicates that the matter has created significant tension inside the body. Inseta is a sector education and training authority in South Africa, responsible for skills development and training levies within the insurance industry. Such entities are governed by strict financial and governance rules, and any suggestion of improper payment practices would be a serious concern for stakeholders.
TimesLIVE's report does not provide further specifics, such as whether the issue has been formally raised with regulators or if an internal investigation has been launched. It also does not name the individuals or departments involved in the conflict.
What to watch next is whether Inseta issues an official statement addressing the allegations, or whether the dispute escalates to external oversight bodies given the regulatory environment in which the authority operates.
