The campaign will be led by Deputy Minister, Dr Mimmy Gondwe - in collaboration with Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, the South African Police Service, the Department of Home Affairs, and the Department of Employment and Labour - from 14 to 15 July.

It takes place ahead of the second semester registration and student intake.

Buffalo City Mayor, Princess Faku, and other senior leaders will join the Deputy Minister during the campaign that will conduct oversight of private institutions of higher education in the area.

“The Deputy Minister has consistently emphasised that ongoing awareness campaigns are an effective method to assist students and parents in avoiding illegal higher education institutions,” the department said.

The campaign will start on Monday morning at the New Council Chambers on Oxford Street. It will go to Ebenezer Majombozi High School on Tuesday.
