Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande has dissolved the NSFAS board with immediate effect and has placed the institution under administration.

This comes after the board chairperson Ernest Khosa's resignation.Minister's decision gets mixed reviews“The decision been taken to dissolve the NSFAS board is a great move, students funding should be paid directly into learning institutions, why do we need a middle man to distribute students funding & Blade Nzimande should also be dissolved.”“The board operated without a Chair for 3 months, but restructuring NSFAS is a proactive step to enhance its ability to serve students better.

Change can be tough, but it's necessary.”“The board's dissolution is not a setback, but an opportunity to take NSFAS forward from where the Khosa-led board left off.”“Despite challenges, we must admit Khosa leaves NSFAS better than where he and his board found it. He is the only chairman who visited all universities and actively engaged with all stakeholders. Their commitment set the stage for better improvements.
