The Saga of SAQA

SAQA is the national institution that evaluates qualifications, namely foreigm qualifications. The most secretive organization I ever met. The most unfriendly organization I ever met. Everybody is grumpy on the phone. Nobody can apply to SAQA but the applicant her or himself. Even if you are a parent or a guardian, SAQA has several advertised telephone numbers but nobody there advises you in any manner. Emails are short and sour. Your application has been declined. No reasons, no way out. The organization has a bank account but nobody may know the account number. You have to print a form and take it to the bank. This is sincerely an obscure organization. No communication, no transparency of processes...just rules imposed on applicants and barely explained to them. And this is the kind of organization that international students have to rely on if they want to study in South Africa
