Thousands of university and college students in Tanzania are in danger of being expelled after the authorities discovered a major scam involving the enrolment of unqualified students.
Education Minister Joyce Ndalikacho has announced the dissolution of the board of the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) and suspended other senior officials.
The country's Guardian and Citizen newspapers say the government has already expelled 489 students who had been admitted to St Joseph University and given government loans even though they did not "even qualify to pursue a certificate in teaching".
The government has since closed the university's campuses in northern and southern Tanzania.
SMH how now????
Ukiwapata wakicheka wakenya utadhani wao ni malaika
