PRETORIA - Over four hundred students who received funding when in fact they did not qualify for funding by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme will be forced to pay back the money.
The Special Investigating Unit has signed an Acknowledgement of Debt with the students.
The investigation revealed that NSFAS failed to design and implement controls to ensure that there is an annual reconciliation between the funds disbursed to institutions and the allocation of those funds to the students.
SIU Spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago spoke to eNCA's Heidi Giokos on this topic.
