The uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, is poised to fulfill its promise of free tertiary education starting January 6, 2025. Duduzile Zuma, a prominent voice within the party, has hailed the initiative as a transformative step for South African students, marking what she calls “the beginning of a new era.”

In a passionate statement titled “Back to Reality,” Duduzile emphasized the party’s unwavering commitment to addressing the struggles faced by students. “The MK Party stands firm on its promise of ensuring free and quality education for all. This is not just a campaign; it is a revolution for the future of our youth,” she declared.

The ambitious program will reportedly cover registration fees, tuition, and accommodation costs for students at public universities and technical colleges across the country. The plan aligns with Jacob Zuma’s long-advocated vision of accessible education, a key focus during his presidency.

The rollout will begin with universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. Party spokesperson Jabulani Khumalo stated that negotiations with educational institutions and government bodies are already at an advanced stage. “The MK Party is stepping in where others have failed. The ANC government has dragged its feet on free education, despite it being a constitutional right. We are here to make it happen,” Khumalo said.

While student organizations such as the South African Students Congress (SASCO) and the Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command (EFFSC) have welcomed the initiative, they remain cautiously optimistic. Concerns persist about the feasibility and sustainability of the program, given South Africa’s limited fiscal resources.

“The announcement is promising, but the details of funding and sustainability are unclear. We’ll support any genuine effort that benefits students,” said EFFSC spokesperson Lerato Mashinini.

Opposition parties and education analysts, however, have criticized the plan, labeling it a populist move designed to garner votes ahead of the 2025 general elections. The Democratic Alliance (DA) and ActionSA have raised concerns about the economic impact, urging transparency about the funding model to avoid further straining South Africa’s fragile economy.

Despite the criticism, Duduzile Zuma remains resolute. “This is not a dream. It’s a reality we are prepared to fight for. Education is the key to liberating our nation,” she asserted.

As the January 6 launch date approaches, South Africans will be watching closely to see if the MK Party can deliver on its ambitious pledge, potentially reshaping the landscape of higher education in the country.
