South Africa's education boss Buti Manamela is about to yank the licenses from three private colleges after they ghosted the government on paperwork for way too long. City Varsity, Damelin, and ICESA City Campus blew past multiple deadlines to hand over their financial records and tax docs, and two of them apparently just stopped running classes altogether without telling anyone.
The ministry confirmed that City Varsity and ICESA basically shut down operations but never officially closed up shop. None of the three schools submitted their annual reports or proved they had money to keep going, which is a massive red flag when you're supposed to be educating students who paid tuition.
The government is publishing the cancellation notice officially, and the schools can argue their case before anything becomes final. Officials said they'll help affected students transfer somewhere legit since these institutions clearly can't prove they're financially stable enough to stay open.
