today8 January, 2024

Background

The Freedom Front Plus in SA requested an urgent meeting of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Science, and Innovation after the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse’s new allegations of corruption once again rocked the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. NSFAS has been in a state of emergency ever since it was saddled with delivering on the ANC’s promise of free higher education in 2018. The FF Plus’s Wynand Boshoff says, there is a constant cloud of corruption hanging over the Scheme and its budget of more than 40-billion-rand.
