Education was one of the items on the agenda when President Jacob Zuma recently engaged listeners of different community radio stations across South Africa simultaneously.

An issue raised was that of financial assistance for higher education students.

The President said that he initially called a meeting with student and university leaders and the Department of Higher Education to discuss the issues around high tuition fees and the fact that those from disadvantaged backgrounds cannot afford to pay them.

President Jacob Zuma recently relaunched the Marabastad home affairs office and renamed it the Desmond Tutu Refugee Reception Centre.

The country’s largest social housing project, located in Westgate, KwaZulu-Natal, comprises 952 housing units that offer rental accommodation.
