Democratic Alliance (DA)
The Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Leader, John Steenhuisen, announced that the party is preparing to press criminal charges against Minister of Higher Education, Blade Nzimande, and will be briefing their legal team to declare the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) board delinquent over the direct payment and accommodation tenders.

These actions come in the wake of allegations made by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), which claims that Minister Nzimande and NSFAS board chairperson, Ernest Khosa, received millions of rand in kickback payments from service providers.
Steenhuisen stated, “This legal action is in line with the findings of the State Capture Commission, which recommended that board members involved in capture and corruption should be declared as delinquent.”
OUTA released voice recordings of two meetings between Khosa and a service provider’s representative, revealing that 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).
Both NSFAS and the Higher Education Ministry have denied the allegations, referring to them as “malicious.” The SACP has also denied any wrongdoing.
