Undergraduate and Postgraduate Bursary Programme Offered by The Department of Environmental Affairs In 2020for Previously-Disadvantaged South African People
The Department of Environmental Affairs is a South African government-backed department that has visions of South African’s prosperous and harmonious living condition that is in-line with their preserved natural resources.

Not only that it serves its stakeholders and programme participants with integrity, but the Department of Environmental Affairs’ “Batho Pele” or “People First” driving philosophy also become its main driving force to always perform at its peak in every programme, including the bursary programme as noted in this article.
