Show Notes
Over one hundred thousand students funded by South Africas National Student Financial Aid Scheme are failing to meet academic progression rules, raising concerns from the Higher Education Ministry. A recent audit gave Nsfas the worst rating, with major breakdowns in controls and accountability. Issues include deceased students still listed for payments, ineligible ones funded, and hundreds double-claiming grants. The minister is now ordering a forensic probe to recover funds and fight fraud. Nsfas must deliver a full fix-it plan by April 30, 2026, to rebuild trust for students who truly need the help.
