THE National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) finds itself embroiled in a significant financial predicament, as it owes over 600 accommodation service providers a staggering R48 million for the 2024 academic year.

This came to light when Higher Education and Training Minister Buti Manamela responded to questions from DA MP Delmaine Christians, who sought clarity on the number of landlords with outstanding claims.

Christians asked about the total number of student accommodation providers or landlords that remained unpaid to date.

According to Manamela, a total of 655 accommodation providers have valid claims pending due to discrepancies in the invoices submitted for the academic year 2024.

Manamela said the NSFAS had identified some discrepancies in the 2024 invoices, prompting requests for resubmissions. "The resubmitted invoices have been validated and verified, and the total value of the claims is R48 million, with R18 million for the TVET college providers and R30 million for university providers," he said.
