Govt orders schools not to send war veterans' children home for not paying fees

Government has directed primary and secondary schools as well as tertiary institutions not to turn away war veterans’ children for non-payment of fees.

Welfare Services for War Veterans, War Collaborators, Ex-Political Detainees and Restrictees Minister, Retired Colonel Tshinga Dube yesterday said:

We agreed that Treasury had already allocated funds to meet Government’s constitutional obligation of paying fees for war veterans’ children. Pending the release of the funds by Treasury, heads of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary institutions and Vice Chancellors of our universities are strongly requested not to turn away students whose fees have not yet been paid as it will be against Government directive.

He revealed that he had met Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Dr Lazarus Dokora, acting Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Makhosini Hlongwane and acting Minister of Finance and Economic Development Dr Sydney Sekeramayi over the issue.
