JOHANNESBURG - Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande on Friday said he suspected that the entry point to corruption over funding at NSFAS in tertiary institutions was through the South

African Social Security Agency .

He said his department and Sassa would be investigating as to how qualifying students currently receiving funding from the scheme were approved. Speaking in Pretoria on Friday afternoon, Nzimande provided an update of NSFAS funding for the 2022 academic year. He said Sassa would be brought into the probe to assist in verifying the data submitted to NSFAS so they could deal with the students who were found to be receiving funding illegally.

"Because they know that they don't qualify, but they have found a way of providing false information in such that students that come from better off families benefit from NSFAS whilst poor students from the working class continue to be excluded."

Accredited Student accommodation is the biggest scam, by limiting the market for student accommodation you have created an over priced monopoly, now accredited landlords just over charge students knowing they have no competition and students have no choice but pay.

Sassa is long time corrupt because we who don't have work can't get R350 because sassa says we receive an income, and then they steal our R350s but we haven't even worked yet

Retire old man...

These Ministers always have a surprised look on them. Every time.

Bra Blade……I’m shocked!
