The SA Union of Students (SAUS)
is not backing down on its demand for the removal of Higher Education Minister
Blade Nzimande.
SAUS spokesperson Asive Dlanjwa said the union conveyed this to Nzimande during a meeting on Tuesday.
Its demand follows a damning report by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), which alleged service providers contracted by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) paid millions of rand in kickbacks to Nzimande and NSFAS board chairperson Ernest Khosa.
