The staff members of Coastal KZN TVET College have not been paid. The College has been under the administration and reporting to the Department of Higher Education for the past twelve months. The workers have cited that there have been problems with payments dating back to last year. In March 2022, its administrator wrote to the Deputy-Director General and Chief Financial Officer for the Department to assist the higher education institution’s baseline as it also has to pay other immediate services linked to residence and administration. The staff are also concerned that the college may close due to the extent of the financial challenges that the institution is facing.
