\u2019n Beurs van die Nasionale Finansi\u00eble Hulpskema vir Studente, ook bekend as NSFAS, wat veronderstel was om \u2019n student se lewe te verander, het in \u2019n nagmerrie ontaard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 s\u00ea Renaldo Booysen, \u2019n Stellenbosse onderwysstudent van Beaufort-Wes, aan Eikestadnuus<\/em> nadat die skema hom en duisende ander glo reeds verlede jaar in die steek gelaat het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NSFAS was verlede jaar gereeld in die nuus nadat di\u00e9 glo vier maatskappye, vermoedelik sonder enige banklisensies of rekord, aangestel het om studente se maandelikse toelae uit te betaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik (OUTA) het verlede jaar groot kapsie hieroor gemaak, wat later tot verskeie formele ondersoeke gelei het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In \u2019n verslag van die prokureursfirma Werskmans is bevind dat die skema se uitvoerende hoof, Andile Nongogo, oneties opgetree het nadat hy glo die maatskappye met die hand uitgesoek het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In die verslag word Nongogo se kop en die be\u00ebindiging van die kontrak met die vier maatskappye ge\u00ebis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Studente aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch moes gebruik maak van die maatskappy Coinvest vir hul toelaes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hierdie toelaes word deur studente gebruik om kos en ander noodsaaklikhede te koop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Talle studente kon egter nie registreer om hul toelaes te kry nie. Booysen s\u00ea hy is een van hierdie studente. \u201cDis \u2019n nuwe jaar en steeds het NSFAS nog nie my geld uitbetaal nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk voel ons word baie onregverdig deur NSFAS behandel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBaie van ons kom uit omstandighede waarin ons nie in staat is om hier finansieel te oorleef nie,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Booysen se studiegeld vir 2023 is ook nie volledig betaal nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNSFAS het slegs R65 000 van my studiegeld betaal. Altesaam R54 000 is nog uitstaande,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Regstudent aan die US het op voorwaarde van anonimiteit aan Eikestadnuus<\/em> vertel hy sit met sy hande in sy hare oor studieskuld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit maak my angstig omdat ons nie weet wat met daai skuld gebeur en of ons dit self gaan moet betaal nie, want ons ouers het geteken toe ons by die US registreer dat hulle verantwoordelik is vir ons studenterekening,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Vrouestudent wat ook anoniem wil bly, het aan Eikestadnuus<\/em> vertel sy vrees om by haar private verblyf uitgeskop te word. \u201cEk sukkel regtig met huurgeld; ek weet nie vir hoe lank nie, want ek weet nie of NSFAS my huur gaan betaal nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy ma skraap reeds alles wat sy kan bymekaar om my te help. Hierdie is nie \u2019n lekker ding om deur te gaan nie, veral omdat ek die US meer as R200 000 skuld vir verlede jaar se uitstaande balans en vanjaar se kostes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk weet nie wat met my gaan gebeur nie, maar ek vertrou op God,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Martin Viljoen, \u2019n US-woordvoerder, is die universiteit bewus van die situasie oor uitstaande geld en werk glo daaraan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie US is bewus van studente wat nie toelaes ontvang het nie, en ons werk daaraan om dit so gou as moontlik op te los,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Viljoen het ook ges\u00ea die US het reeds verskeie stappe geneem om studente te ondersteun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intussen het NSFAS die media Maandagoggend (4 Maart) op \u2019n mediakonferensie in Pretoria oor sy gereedheid vir die 2024- akademiese jaar ingelig, maar geen woord oor uitstaande geld geuiter nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens NSFAS se waarnemende raadsvoorsitter, prof. Lourens van Staden, het die skema universiteite gevra om intussen studente se toelae vir Februarie en Maart te betaal, waarna die skema sal terugkeer na die vier maatskappye om die proses verder te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die NSFAS-woordvoerder Thsolofelo Zweni wou nie Eikestadnuus<\/em> se vrae oor die 2023-toelae beantwoord nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Beurs van
