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
