EFF president Julius Malema says an EFF government would ensure children from households receiving SASSA support, and those who attend no-fee schools, do not have to pay registration or tuition fees for institutions of higher education.

The pledge is presented as a proposal linked to expanding access to higher education for students from lower-income backgrounds. In the report, Malema frames the policy as removing financial barriers for SASSA beneficiaries and for students already placed in the no-fee schooling system.

The available coverage is limited to this single outlet and focuses on Malema’s promise, without detailing implementation mechanisms, projected costs, or how the proposal would be administered within existing government programmes. No other outlets are provided here for comparison of alternative angles, timelines, or responses from other parties or SASSA-linked agencies.
