Khanyisa Nursing School (Pty) Ltd is a private nursing education provider founded in 2002, headquartered in Rosettenville, Johannesburg, with sub-campuses in Witbank, Tonga and Bushbuckridge (Mpumalanga) and Kroonstad (Free State). It is registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET registration no. 2018/HE07/003) and is accredited by the South African Nursing Council (SANC reference S1540) to offer nursing programmes. Its SANC accreditation for the Diploma in Nursing (general nurse category) and Higher Certificate in Nursing (auxiliary nurse category) was contested by SANC over the programme commencement date; Khanyisa took the matter to the Gauteng High Court and won, and the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed SANC's appeal in June 2023 (South African Nursing Council v Khanyisa Nursing School (Pty) Ltd, [2023] ZASCA 86), confirming the accreditation was valid. The school's own site states its HEQSF-aligned qualifications are registered until 31 December 2027. It describes itself as family-owned and independent, with roughly 9,400+ alumni and small average class sizes (site claim, not independently verified). Two domains presenting as the school's website were found, both showing matching contact numbers and campus addresses, suggesting they belong to the same institution.
