OUTA lays bare the rot in higher education - and hails the “brave souls” who blew the whistle…
The dreams of thousands of students have been shattered by corruption in the higher education sector. Much of that has been exposed by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA). In this interview with BizNews, OUTA's Investigations Manager, Rudie Heyneke speaks about the corruption reports it has issued since 2018; the “three brave souls” who triggered OUTA’s investigations; their sacrifices, victimisation, and persecution; the leaked voice recordings containing damning allegations about a patronage network implicating Minister Blade Nzimande, National Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) Board Chair Dr Ernest Khosa, and several others; their denials of wrongdoing - and the ultimatum from students to President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire the Minister or face “radical” protest. Heyneke also denies accusations that OUTA has become politicised, saying: “…there’s no way that OUTA will become involved in politics”. As for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) calling on members to pray for the party’s renewal, he says: “Nothing is getting better. The same promises were made last year on the 8th of January celebrations. So to pray for change and for service delivery and so on, I do support that. But we will see if that turns into positive action. And if it is prolonged positive action and not only just because there's elections later this year.” - Chris Steyn

its not enough to simply expose. we need action!
There's no consequences in this country any longer nor accountability for being lawless!
Can we start a whistle blower fund? Where we pay their salaries for a year and provide protection as well as putting them up as honest employees and help them find new jobs.
Thank you Chris! Does it really surprise the people of South Africa? Our thanks and admiration go to OUTA for the absolute wonderful work the do, have done and we pray will continue to do. Blessings 🕯🕯🕯
Just so sickening how these dam cadres carry on

wow I am out of words... now it makes sense why the students have been suffering for so long. Blade must be removed from his seat and must be criminally charged
Why are the corrupt people not exposed in the public media instead of "the poor souls" being punished for their bravery?

Because 60 to 70% of the Sa media is part and parcel of the SA Crime Syndicate and they have no choice.

Whether or not there has been this corruption, there simply is not money to fund tertiary education in this scale and for that matter the economy does not generate job creation.

This what happens when you dont change people on the helms; they start to think they are invincible
It's EVERYWHERE??? Corruption is a second economy in SA - if you remove financial crime in SA then you will have a major crisis because it has been institutionalized
"At one time, educators boasted that their role was not to teach students what to think but how to think. Today, their role is far too often to teach students what to think on everything from immigration to global warming to the new sacred trinity of 'race, class and gender.'" - Thomas Sowell
Every fund created and run by ANC goes this way...why is everybody surprized ?? The fund should never have started
Excellent interview
my black business partner and I tried to register with Services SETA. Did everything we were supposed to but they didnt approve us. I did an assessors course and they rejected it. Absolute joke. tried to get my black partner a job and income and it never worked. I walked away

Blade preaching “revolution” theory in parliament is no better than the rest of the cookie jar monster’s apparently.
Hang on - isn't this "normal" practice in MOST South African Education inner circles? Nzimande like Cele and Lesufi etc will stay.
I wouldn't be where I am today without NSFAS. It's heart breaking to see corrupt ministers thriving while the dreams of so many young people are sacrificed, jeopardizing the future of our country.

Regret, as a passing observer, I do not follow the gist of the presentation as I do not recognise the acronyms being used. Some sub-titles may help. Another aspect is the length of these videos. As common or garden parents of high schoolers, many of us want to become aware of key issues and relevant precautions, not fine details. A sharp, short, animated video of no more than 4 minutes would be most welcome, especially as it can more easily be shared with RSA Expats and viewed on a mobile phone. A quick thanks to the Headmaster, Staff & supporters of Lindley High School (FS 9630) for their valiant efforts at educating with professionalism, determination & fervour, despite all the usual limitations & ESKOM power interruptions. Thank you OUTA & covert info contributors, for all your intensive investigative work. 🙂

Stay focused. No other political party is responsible for managing NSFAS.
In Uitenhage the higher education the funds was paid into the principals private account.
Can hyenas pray?
Why is the EFF so quiet now? They created this student crisis. At the time when NSFAS management had been working efficiently the EFF wanted the CEO to be replaced by an African black. They were the ones who pressured Blade and made unsubstantiated claims against the previous CEO.
You speak about "whistleblowers". What about the dozens upon dozens of university scholars who have complained about systematic ABUSE OF POWER. How many actually left the profession? or nearly ended up losing their minds? how many committed suicide? NOT ONE F-ING WORD ABOUT THEM. F OFF.
