Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande says NSFAS is experiencing a funding shortfall and has requested that universities extend their registration period

is experiencing a funding shortfall for the 2021 academic year. That is why it has not yet responded to requests for funding from new university students.

Nzimande acknowledged the anxiety experienced by prospective students and their families. He said universities were also under pressure, because they were unable to finalise their admissions and registration processes. In recent weeks students — not only new university students, but also returning students — have voiced their frustration about the scheme’s lack of communication on their funding status.

Defund Zondo commission and fund student

There's always enough money to renovate ministers houses, enough to school illegal foreigners & to pay foreigners them during covid, enough millions to change street names. This black government is turning out to be exactly what apartheid predicted!

Because students were given pocket money during lockdown 🤦🏾‍♀️without considering that the academic year would be extended into the new year... stupidity🤦🏾‍♀️

All because this of irregular expenditure and no one has been held to account. 😏

Absolute poor management and planning. Illustrates deliberate absence of foresight in terms of human development.

A perfect storm is looming for SA 😳😳😳

CoruscaKhaya Where did they find the billion Rand for Zondo commission

They changed it from being a loan to it being a bursary. It was never going to be sustainable. As a loan, there was always money coming in.

Explain why the taxpayer has to fund up to 20 other people's DNA?

Its pointless funding scores of students going to these institutions to major in sociology and philosophy. Where are they going to work or how are they going to create employment for themselves? Had it were students at vocational institutions...i would be concerned...
