19th January 2021Hi my name is Dineo, I am currently temporarily registered at Unisa for Higher Certificate in Animal Welfare however I am in need of funding, I would really appreciate it if HWSETA would assist with funds in order for me to be able to complete my qualification.
I tried calling your offices but I think I was calling at wrong times because the phone was just ringing unanswered, I also sent an email to the reception but did not get any response.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

16th February 2023Good day Dr Mnisi
I am a 2nd year BVSc student (2023) and I am unable to register due to financial difficulties. I have been rejected by both NSFAS and DALRRD bursaries. I would like to find out the structure and criteria regarding the issuing of 60 bursaries to African students.

20th February 2023Dear Percival
Thank you for the inquiry, kindly note that HWSETA does not recruit students or beneficiaries directly for any funded programmes.
HWSETA advertise funding to public universities, and once they are approved for funding they recruit students or beneficiaries.

5th May 2023Good day, please provide me with Dr Mninsi’s email because I have been in communication with the HWSETA management for over 4 years now requesting the certificates, even came up to Johannesburg from Bloemfontein to enquire about the certificate that we studied for in 2013/14 at Mako Institute in Bloemfontein. Nothing is happening and this is really long overdue. Mr Molefe,Ms Baakedi, the CEO is aware of this mater but till to date, nothing is happening. Please assist me as I need the board of members to at least enquire on our behalf and find a solution
