The South African Union of Students (SAUS) has accused the National Student Financial Aid Scheme of pushing thousands of students into hunger, uncertainty and possible eviction after freezing allowances for more than 12,000 beneficiaries while the scheme is under administration.
SAUS said this week that students across the country had been placed under “Gap Investigation” (verification) despite having qualified for NSFAS funding.
“At the verge of tests and final examinations, thousands of students have not received their meal allowances from NSFAS, accommodation allowances have not been paid to landlords.”
