Higher Education appoints team to facilitate NSFAS payments - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports,

According to NSFAS, universities and TVET colleges did not submit registration data to the organisation on time, resulting in delays in payments.

Department Spokesperson Veli Mbele says they’ve appointed Director-General Dr Nkosinathi Sishi as the team leader of a project to ensure that payments are made. “What is happening at this stage is that the NSFAS team is working with those institutions where the payments have not been done and students are going to get communication from their institutions because NSFAS is going to work with them to receive the data and that is being done now. After the process is completed, they will then make an announcement. So, each student will get their communication through the institution and/or NSFAS.

South African Students’ Congress president, Vezinhlanhla Simelane, has described the dissolution as a victory for South African students who depend on NSFAS funding.
