Coastal TVET College to come out of administration

Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande says they have agreed, with the college administrator, to move forward with a plan to appoint a permanent principal.

The college was placed under administration in 2020 after facing a string of corruption allegations and a damning report by the auditor general.

The department's Ishmael Mnisi says the institution will be brought out of administration at the end of the month.
