Progress has been made since students from Ehlanzeni Technical and Vocational Education and Training College were kicked out of their private residential buildings by landlords on Sunday over unpaid rent.
After the students were reportedly forced to sleep on the floors and benches of Acornhoek police station in Mpumalanga, a delegation from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme visited the institution’s principal and chief financial officer to resolve the matter.Nsfas said that the backlog started when they made an upfront payment to Ehlanzeni TVET College for the first disbursement of allowances for students in February.
Instead, the institution was not able to do so and it contacted the Nsfas to inform it of this development.A student activist and Student Representative Council member said the students had now returned to their accommodation.
“Therefore, institutions are required to transfer funds to students. Students should have by now received their allowances as the NSFAS had made an advance payment of more than R3.4 billion to all institutions.”

Paying off the mortgage versus investing moreLet's do a little investment simulation. Don't worry - I'll do the maths. Nomusa has a R5,000 personal loan and a R20,000 share portfolio. Her net worth is R15,000 (R20,000 share portfolio minus the personal loan). If the stock market goes up by 10%, Nomusa makes R2,000 (R20,000 multiply by 10%) and her net worth goes up to R17,000 (R22,000 in the portfolio, minus the R5,000 loan).
