The Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund will merge with the Ministry of Education on July 31. Percy Tjahere speaks for the organization and announced the planned change. Officials have not decided whether workers will keep their current pay and benefits. The move affects all 91 people who work for the fund. Workers will learn about contract changes before the transfer happens.

The NSFAF Amendment Act of 2025 allows the ministry to hire all current staff members. Minister Sanet Steenkamp must choose when the new law takes effect. The fund created a timeline that aims for July 31 as the start date. All employee contracts will follow the Public Service Act from 1995. Staff members can expect to receive different employment agreements after the transition.

The organization developed a detailed plan to help the minister make her decision. Workers will receive official notice about any changes before their jobs move to the ministry. The amendment law requires the ministry to absorb every current employee. Contract transfers will happen once the new legislation becomes active. Fund officials expect all workers to continue their duties under ministry supervision.
