Loading player...
Studying abroad is becoming more complex for South African students as visa rules tighten, and compliance thresholds rise. Brent Morris from Sable International told BizNews that UK institutions now risk losing their licence to sponsor international students if over 5% of visa applications are rejected.

The company is hosting educational expos across South Africa in September, offering students a chance to meet university representatives and advisers.
