The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) on Thursday called for the resignation of Higher Education and Training Minister Dr. Blade Nzimande and Ernest Khosa, chairperson of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) board.
“If they don’t resign, we call on President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire them immediately,” Rudie Heyneke, OUTA Investigations Manager, declared in a lengthy statement posted on “X”, formerly known as Twitter.
OUTA said it has voice recordings of two meetings between Khosa and a representative of a service provider, which it alleged reveals how service providers allegedly paid millions of rand in kickbacks to Dr. Nzimande and Khosa, as well as at least R1 million to the South African Communist Party (SACP).
“This was done in return for tenders and protection for service providers,” the statement alleges.
