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 Letsie.
