Pretoria Loan to Pay Democracy Dividend
Developments inside Swaziland explain why Mswati was willing to sign on for Pretoria's tough terms: the University of Swaziland, has closed indefinitely following a drastic cut in government tuition and registration subsidies. The government has cut its support from 1 200 study places to just 300, prompting the university to suspend registration on 8 August. The government has been urged by its own Economic Recovery Advisory (ERA) to cut subsidies to all tertiary institutions. The university has been urged by the ERA to "open up" its training programmes to free market innovation and efficiency in the pursuit of tuition fees from private sources.
Raising money to pay for education for a young Swazi in need. Nhlanhla is 21 and is studying in his second year of his Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Swaziland thanks to the financial support he has received over the past six years. I paid for his secondary schooling. I have a deep connection to Swaziland having taught there for three years.
