"The buying of university spaces, if left unchecked, not only harms individual students but also reshapes the moral logic of education itself. It teaches young people that effort is optional and money is decisive. That is a lesson no society can afford to teach." These are the views of Nyaniso Qwesha, writing in the Sunday Independent about corruption in the allocation of places at our universities.
