Pretoria - National Student Financial Aid Scheme allowance woes have reared their head at Unisa with student protests resulting in the shut down of the Sunnyside campus.
The students, following the closure of the campus, made their way to the Unisa main building along Muckleneuk Ridge, Pretoria. Damane said the students were against the current service provider, as they charged students R5.50 for each withdrawal they made. Damane said the university had failed to even provide students with study material or laptops, therefore, placing students at a disadvantage.

Are textbook sales on decline after NSFAS allowed cash payouts to students? | Cape ArgusAcademic book retailers have voiced their concerns that students are using their NSFAS bursary funding for other unintended purposes. TheCapeArgus They have been monopolizing the system, now students are free to buy where ever they want. Remember when I had a bursary the entire R3500 for stationary was paid to campus book store and sometime they didn’t have all staff. TheCapeArgus It serves them right. Ke leng bare ropa TheCapeArgus Their prices are extremely high, they are short staffed and they are extremely arrogant. Students are now buying at more friendly Indian stores. 2 text books and your allowance is finished. Haibo it was too much.
