President Cyril Ramaphosa claims NSFAS would disappear if the ANC removed from power

• President Cyril Ramaphosa cautions that the nation could deteriorate if the ANC loses control
• Ramaphosa emphasises that South Africans can only preserve benefits from grants and financial aid schemes under ANC leadership.
• NSFAS aids 1.3 million students yearly, with 47% of South Africans relying on monthly social grants

As election day approaches, ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa warns that the country might worsen if the ANC loses power. Speaking in Mbombela, he emphasised the potential consequences, stating that crucial programs like the National Student Financial Aid Scheme and social grants could be eliminated if the ANC fails to secure the majority vote.

"Our policies prioritise the welfare of the underprivileged. I am not aware of any other country on the continent that has dedicated itself to providing grants to 18 million individuals, encompassing both the young and old, along with an extra 10 million recipients receiving grants of R350."
