This call comes after an exposé by Nexus Forensic Services revealed that R123 million was misappropriated from the NSF to purchase luxury cars and a farm. The report implicates Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Blade Nzimande, in unethical practices at the NSF. Nzimande reportedly fought to keep the report confidential. The R123 million was meant for a project to buy rabbits, train communities in rabbit farming, and export rabbit meat overseas.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Federasie van Vakbonde het die Departement van Hoër Onderwys beskuldig dat hy onverantwoordelik is na hy 580 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand se fondse wat nie spandeer is na die Nasionale Tesourie teruggestuur het. Dit het tydens die voormalige minister Blade Nzimande se ampstermyn gebeur. Die geld kon 9 071 studente vir 'n volle akademiese jaar onderhoud het. Die departement het terselfdertyd jaarliks 7 miljoen rand aan 30 geskorste werknemers betaal. Saftu se woordvoerder, Trevor Shaku sê die onderbesteding is wanbestuur aan die kant van die departement:

Die minister van Hoër Onderwys, Wetenskap en Innovering, Blade Nzimande, het die paneelverslag verwelkom oor inhoud wat in twee kamers in die Wilgenhof-koshuis aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch gevind is. Dit hou na bewering verband met ingewortelde rassisme. Die rektoraat het die paneel se aanbeveling onderskryf om Wilgenhof aan die einde van die akademiese jaar te sluit. Visekanselier Wim de Villiers sal hierdie aanbeveling op die volgende raadsvergadering voorlê. Sy woordvoerder, Veli Mbele, sê Nzimande vra samewerking om sulke gedrag by akademiese instellings uit te wis.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme plans to begin paying allowance directly into university students bank accounts by September as it heads to court to cancel contracts with irregularly appointed direct payments to service providers.

Die Vryheidsfront Plus het namens ‘n werknemer van Unisa ‘n klagte by die Openbare Beskermer ingedien, weens voortgesette ongerymdhede by die instelling. Hierdie spesifieke saak handel oor ‘n oënskynlik onwettige aanstelling. Die betrokke aanstelling handel oor ‘n werknemer wat afgetree het, maar daarna weer aangestel is vir ‘n kontraktermyn van 12 maande. ‘n Woordvoerder van die VF Plus, Wynand Boshoff, sê hulle het geskrewe vrae oor die aangeleentheid aan die minister van Hoër Onderwys, Blade Nzimande, gestuur.

Die buurland se hoër onderwysminister, Blade Nzimande, het bewerings verwerp oor sy beweerde beïnvloeding rakende die toekenning van ‘n tender vir die Nasionale Finansiële Hulpskema vir Studente aan Vision Wave se besturende direkteur, Tilson Manyoni. Die minister het na aanleiding van mediaberigte verduidelik Manyoni is nie sy raadgewer nie en was nog nooit nie. Nzimande bestempel die bewerings as verdere pogings om sy naam te beswadder. Die ministerie se woordvoerder, Veli Mbele, sê Nzimande is steeds verbind tot ‘n gladde begin van die nuwe akademiese jaar:

Universiteite in Suid-Afrika het gewaarsku die voorgestelde studentelenings-beleid kan die Nasionale Finansiële Hulpskema vir Studente knou. Die lening sal huishoudings met ‘n jaarlikse inkomste van tussen 350 000 en 600 000 Suid-Afrikaanse rand bevoordeel.

The South African Government has enlisted top legal experts for its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. Their 84-page application argues that they only need to prove some of their accusations against Israel fall under the Genocide Convention to effectively halt its military operations in Gaza. Oral arguments for the proceedings initiated by South Africa against the Israeli government will be presented from January 11-12. However, Prof Theo Venter, a political analyst at the University of Johannesburg, told Biznews that he believes it will be a challenging battle. Venter expressed doubt about South Africa's chances of success at the ICJ. He also accused the South African government of selective neutrality, pointing out an apparent bias in its international relations towards Moscow. Additionally, Prof Venter commented on the crisis in student funding following the leak of a series of recordings by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse, alleging corruption within the Higher Education Department and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. He predicted that this issue will significantly complicate the management of students at South African universities. He said if the funding of 70% of students go awry, the fall out will be at the universities, not in Pretoria at the office of Blade Nzimande, the Minister of Higher Education.

Higher education, science and innovation minister Blade Nzimande has dismissed allegations that he, the SACP and National Student Financial Aid Scheme board chairperson Ernest Khosa received kickback payments from service providers contracted by the scheme. The allegations, with leaked recordings, were made by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) last week.  Nzimande convened a briefing on Monday to challenge the claims.

Democratic Alliance leader, John Steenhuisen says the South African government has never cared for its people. Steenhuisen has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of cowardice, adding that not a single person under his leadership has served prison time for their involvement in corruption.  He was speaking to members of the media following allegations of kickbacks paid to the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande and the South African Communist Party by service providers contracted by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. Steenhuisen has joined calls by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa), ActionSA and Freedom Frontg Plus, who are calling for Nzimande and NSFAS board chairperson, Ernest Khosa to be fired.

DA leader John Steenhuisen says the party is preparing legal charges against minister of higher education Blade Nzimande after allegations about his involvement in receiving  kickback payments from service providers contracted by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).  Last week the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) released leaked audio recordings which suggest Nzimande, NSFAS board chairperson Ernest Khosa and the South African Communist Party (SACP) received million of rands in kickbacks in relation to the awarding of the scheme's controversial new allowance direct payment system. 

  The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has confirmed that it has received OUTA's investigation report into alleged corruption and mismanagement at the National Student Financicl Aid Scheme (NSFAS). OUTA says it is in possession of recordings of meetings between  NSFAS chairperson, Ernest Khosa and a representative of the NSFAS service providers who distributed funds to students. The recordings allegedly reveal kickbacks paid to Higher Education minister Blade Nzimande and Khosa by service providers, worth millions and a further one million Rand paid to the South African Communist Party.We spoke to SACP's National Spokesperson Alex Mashilo

OUTA says it has evidence in the form of voice recordings to support their call. The recordings detail two meetings between Khosa and a representative of a service provider which reveal how service providers allegedly paid millions of rand in kickbacks to Nzimande and Khosa, as well as at least R1 million to the South African Communist Party (SACP). This was done in return for tenders and protection for service providers. Elvis Presslin spoke to OUTA's Investigations Manager, Rudie Heyneke

Higher education, science and innovation minister Blade Nzimande says perhaps National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) funding allocation should be prioritised according to certain degrees and programmes based on the country's needs. But before this “discrimination”, as the minister called it, there should be a large college sector that can absorb students who don't get funding for university education. The minister was in parliament tabling the department's state of readiness for the 2024 academic year. NSFAS, government's bursary scheme, aids students who lack financial access to higher education. For students in the “missing middle” - households earning within the threshold of R350,000 to R600,000 a year - the minister said they should be on a mixed system of a loan and a bursary. He said his preference was for PostBank to handle loan systems for the missing middle. “We have raised R3.8bn and our figures tell us that money will go a long way in addressing the missing middle” Last month thousand of students were left in limbo by the financial scheme when they did not receive their allowances. NSFAS blamed the universities' data management systems for the payment failures.

Employment and Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi briefed the media in relation to allegations of corruption made a few weeks ago by Thuja Holdings CEO, Mthunzi Mdwaba. Nxesi, together with two other Cabinet ministers, are alleged to have demanded bribes of five hundred million rands from a five billion unemployment insurance fund (UIF) bid aimed at creating job opportunities for the UIF. The two other ministers are Higher Education Minister Dr. Blade Nzimande, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, and ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula. All implicated individuals have disputed the alleged claims of corruption, and Minister Nxesi says he intends on setting aside the Thuja agreement and will not be releasing the funds to Ndwaba's company. Nxesi explains...

Die buurland se minister van Hoër Onderwys, Blade Nzimande, het ‘n streng waarskuwing gerig aan studente wat probeer om die Nasionale Finansiële Hulpskema vir Studente te bedrieg. Hy het op ‘n nuuskonferensie gepraat oor die opening van aansoeke vir die 2024 akademiese jaar. Nzimande sê verskeie studente wat nie finansieringsbystand benodig om verder te studeer nie, het fondse misbruik en uitgeput wat die armes moes bevoordeel. Hy sê daar sal swaar gevolge wees vir diegene wat aanhou om dit te doen:

Higher Education Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande had dismissed calls for the scrapping of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme and rather distribute funds directly to higher institutions of learning. NSFAS has been rocked by a series of scandals including leadership instability and the irregular awarding of four fintech companies to disburse student allowances. Funding applications for the 2024 academic year opened yesterday and will close at the end of January next year. Nzimande briefed the media in Pretoria on applications. To discuss the challenges that students still face Elvis Presslin spoke to president of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Student Command, Sihle Lonzi 

Die Minister van Hoër Onderwys, Blade Nzimande, ontken dat ondersoeke na die Nasionale Finansiële Hulpskema vir studente weggesteek word. Verskeie munisipaliteite in die Vrystaat sukkel om geld in te vorder, wat dienslewering tot 'n stilstand laat kners. Elektrisiteitsopwekking daal met meer as 6% in Augustus.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse minister van hoër onderwys, wetenskap en innovasie, Blade Nzimande, is woedend en veroordeel die moord op die visekanselier van die Universiteit van Fort Hare se lyfwag, Mboneli Vesele. Die sluipmoord-aanval was waarskynlik vir Sakhele Buhlungu bedoel. Hy was ten tye van die aanval nie in die voertuig nie en is intussen na 'n plek van veiligheid geskuif. 'n Woordvoerder vir die departement, Ishmael Mnisi, sê Nzimande vra vir 'n vinnige ondersoek en die inhegtenisneming van die aanvallers.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse minister van hoër onderwys, wetenskap en innovering, Blade Nzimande maan studente en ouers om katvoet te loop vir onwettige of swendel-kolleges. Hierdie onwettige instellings bied nikswerd kwalifikasies aan wat geen punte tel by indiensneming of vir verdere studie nie. Die woordvoerder van die departement, Ishmael Mnisi, sê hulle sal steeds nou saamwerk met wetstoepassingsagentskappe om onwettige kolleges se deure te sluit.

Die DA sê universiteite sal steeds die teelaarde vir konflik bly as griewe nie opgelos word nie. Slegs agt van die 26 universiteite in die land het 'n ombudstelsel waar studente, asook akademiese en nie-akademiese personeel, hulle griewe in 'n vertroulike omgewing kan lug. Chantel King van die DA doen 'n beroep op die minister van hoër onderwys, Blade Nzimande, om 'n gesentraliseerde universiteits-ombudstelsel vir al 26 die instellings te skep.

Die DA sê hy het nog 'n slag vir Afrikaans geslaan, hierdie keer by die Universiteit Stellenbosch. ʼn Woordvoerder, Leon Schreiber, sê dit volg kort nadat die party die Afrikaanse Taalmonument in die Paarl teen die ANC beskerm het en daarna die minister van hoër onderwys, Blade Nzimande, se pogings om die taal as nie-inheems nie te verklaar, verslaan het. Volgens Schreiber het die party nou die Khampepe-verslag se aanbeveling dat Afrikaans heeltemal afgeskaf moet word by die universiteit verslaan.

Listen to the Sat. July 16, 2022 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our PANW report with dispatches on the initial results of the elections in the Republic of Congo-Brazzaville where the ruling Labor Party has taken the lead; a separatist leader in southwest Cameroon has been assassinated in the ongoing conflict with the central government; the Tunisian-Algerian border is once again open after two years; and the war in Ukraine continues as the United States and NATO sends additional weapons into country. In the second hour we pay tribute to the 160th birthday of African American journalist, feminist, organizer and orator, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, born on this day in 1862 in Mississippi. In the final hour we will listen to the report of the Secretary General of the South African Communist Party, Dr. Blade Nzimande, at their 15th National Congress being held this weekend.

Die EFF beplan 'n nasionale staking om president Cyril Ramaphosa se bedanking te eis. Blade Nzimande sê Cosatu en die ANC staar vandag meer uitdagings in die gesig as aan die begin van ‘n demokratiese Suid-Afrika. Ivana Trump, voormalige vrou van oudpresident Donald Trump van Amerika, sterf in die ouderdom van 73 jaar.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse minister van hoër onderwys, Blade Nzimande, sê die departement het 47,3 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan die studente hulpfonds toegewys nadat ʼn befondsingstekort ondervind is. Die bykomende befondsing is vir die 2022 akademiese jaar en is bestem vir TVET-kolleges en universiteite. Volgens Nzimande stel die befondsingsekerheid die fonds in staat om betyds te reageer en om finansieringsbesluite aan alle studente oor te dra:
