Ukwabiwa Kwezimali Okuncishisiwe Nokwanda Kwesidingo<\/h4>\n

Ngomhlaka-29 Meyi 2025, i-DHET yamemezela ngokusemthethweni ukwehla kwezimali zabafundi nge-10%, icaphuna imikhawulo yesabelomali. Lokhu kwehla kuhambisana nokwanda kwenani labafakizicelo abafanelekela usizo lwe-NSFAS kulo lonke umkhakha, ngokusho kwezinhlelo zonyaka ezishicilelwe ngumnyango. UNgqongqoshe uManamela, ekhuluma ngomhlaka-12 Agasti 2026, uchaze igebe lika-R15 billion njengelingakaze libonwe ngaphambili, kanye nokucindezeleka okuzwakalayo kokubili emanyuvesi nasezikhungweni ze-TVET. I-NSFAS izame ukunciphisa umthelela ngokusebenzisa izikweletu zomlando ezitholiwe ukuze zengeze isabelomali sayo kusukela ngo-2022, okuyisinyathelo esichazwe emibhalweni esemthethweni yenhlangano.<\/p>\n

Izicelo Zokuguqulwa Kwesakhiwo Nezixazululo Ezisimeme<\/h4>\n

UNgqongqoshe uManamela uxwayise ngokuthi izinyathelo zesikhashana ngeke zibhekane nezinselele zokuzinza kwesikhathi eside ezibhekene nokuxhaswa kwabafundi ngezimali. \u201cAbafundi abafanelekayo abakwazi ukushiywa nje ngoba inkinga yokuxhaswa ngezimali yesikhathi eside ayikaxazululwa; kodwa nohulumeni ngeke akwazi ukuxazulula inkinga yesakhiwo ngokungenelela okuphuthumayo okuphindaphindiwe,\u201d kusho uManamela ngesikhathi somhlangano wakamuva. Uphinde waphawula, \u201cUkuhlolwa kokuqala koMnyango ukuthi Uhlelo luhlala luqinile ezingeni lokuzibophezela kwesu kunasezingeni lokuqaliswa. Lusadinga izisekelo ezicacile zezibalo, ukungenelela okunezindleko, izinyathelo ezibalulekile ezilinganiswayo kanye nobufakazi obuqinile okungahlolwa ngazo inqubekela phambili.\u201d<\/p>\n

Njengoba imibhikisho yabafundi kanye nengcindezi yezezimali ikhula emakhempasini ezweni lonke, igebe elihlelekile ekuxhasweni kwemali yomphakathi linemiphumela kazwelonke ekufinyeleleni nasekuguqulweni komkhakha wezemfundo ephakeme, ikakhulukazi emiphakathini yabasebenzi kanye nemiphakathi eyayincishwe amathuba eyayisekelwa yi-NSFAS.
