Following nationwide protests President Jacob Zuma said that free university education is possible. However, South African Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande told Parliament that the government’s policy on free higher education is only for the poor. Nzimande said some money had been diverted from the Sector Education Training Authorities (Seta) for scarce skills education, but insisted that it would not become a “milking cow” or a war chest. This has raised eyebrows among Africans on whether free education is possible in Africa.
