The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is battling to repair its information and
communication technology (ICT) system. It was allocated R100-million for the
repairs, and only R30-million is left, according to NSFAS. The scheme’s four solution
partners responsible for managing student accommodation have delayed payments,
resulting in financial complications for some landlords, some of whom have been
forced to evict students. Members of Parliament’s committee on higher education
have expressed concern and frustration. They described NSFAS as a disappointing
institution after continual non-payment issues and unnecessary spending. Phemelo
speaks to Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Tebogo
