The KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Education, Mr Sipho Hlomuka, wishes to clarify that the R900 million advanced to the Department of Education by the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Treasury is not a bailout, but rather an advance, which will be recovered in the new year January, February and March 2026.
“This advance which was made in June 2025, ensured the timely payment of norms and standards, thereby safeguarding the smooth functioning of schools and continuity in the provision of quality education across the province of KwaZulu-Natal,” said KZN MEC for Education, Mr Sipho Hlomuka.
