North West-The Democratic Alliance welcomes the NW Government’s announcement promising more that R21million for bursaries to deserving learners from disadvantaged communities. 

“It is essential for the future the province and its economy that a continued investment in our youth is being made” DA Chris Hattingh said.

“However, based on the history of previous NW bursary promises that left students exposed after the government failed to deliver on those promises, the DA will closely monitor the allocation and payout process”.

Hattingh said the DA will monitor the allocation process to ensure that deserving learners are not being overlooked in favour of bursaries to official’s family members, friends and  politically connected people.-TDN
