The DA says Higher Education and Training the Minister Blade Nzimade’s confirmation that 35 million rand will be taken from the Eastern Cape University of Fort Hares infrastructure grant just to keep it afloat for the remainder of the financial year is of major concern. The opposition Belinda Bozzoli says Nzimande and his colleagues need to act to save tertiary institutions from having to canibisalise themselves in order to survive . 

Forthare spokesperson says…'' The unable to sustain themselves until the end of the financial year. And they are having to get the bail out from the government."

But this is via one of the fun on infrastructure fund. It is really not could practise fund in a long term problem.

So if there is a huge problem they may able to survive now until the end of the year using their own money but this is does not all go.

 "The way for the long term of the University of fort hare or for many other Universities the are going to need funding as the year going. he concluded
