The fundraiser is being initiated to assist in reducing the student financial debt of students whose family income is below R350 000 and those students whose family income is between R350 000 and R600 000.
Normah Zondo, acting executive director of Corporate Relations said the SRC and all its structures will each contribute 30 per cent of their 2020 budget toward off-setting the student debt.
