Recently, SANZAF has been accredited SETA in their entrepreneurship training programmes and received BBBEE rank for national tax compliances, making SANZAF a more promising financial provider for every people needing extra money to fund their livings.

Having held those above-mentioned recognitions, SANZAF has recently held a bursary programme aimed at every previously disadvantaged South African citizen as well as International students who can’t or can no longer pay for their university-related costs. Further information regarding SANZAF’s bursary requirements and processes can be found on the points below.
