Zuma's government should be creative to source funds for education. PAC have always contended that these 9 "Bantustan" countries (provinces) do not only divide us but it further waste taxpayers money unnecessarily. We must only remain with two critical government which are local and national government. We must also decrease useless government department like Lindiwe Zulu's unfunctioning Small Business or Susan Shabangu's department.

Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) have learnt that the Office of Presidency will release a Fees Commission report exactly two months after it was handed by Judge Jonathan Herer to him. We have put adequate pressure on him to do the right thing.

De-commercialised, de-commoditized and decolonisation of education should take precedence, it must happen now. We believe that it is those people we give free and quality education who will stabilise the economy that we have failed to handle in the Post-94 era.

PAC as well as its student wing, PASMA, should never be expected to sit back and clap hands for a report that seeks only to worsen the lives of young people. The same people who presided over this "toothless" commission pilot their "pretty" kids to advance their studies in foreign countries with taxpayers money.

Any sober government should know that the core of investment is the human development. We have to put more capital into developing the human resources that we lack today. Are we told by our "caring" government that the money that is there is only reserved by Faith Muthambi to steal while our kids are starving for education.

We must also warn that education cannot be reduced to monetary value, education to African people means service to Africa. Education to us means everything.
