National Skills Fund
The National Skills Fund awarded R148 million to Flyfofa Aviation Training in 2024 for bursaries aimed at students from poor schools. Discrepancies emerged in claimed flying hours, leading to credit notes of nearly R3.9 million. A sister company faces a separate R85 million claim by the Special Investigating Unit.
