“It’s difficult to focus and stay concentrated at school because we do not have food.”
“We have more than 10,000 NSFAS-funded students at Wits and we’ve only just finished registration. So we are still trying to process the allowances. We have accelerated the process and we expect that all outstanding NSFAS allowances for the whole university should be processed by next week Friday.
Samantha Mungwe — the chair of the Wits education campus students' council and member of the student representative council — said that no students had received their allowances since the beginning of February. “The financial aid office at the education campus is short-staffed, has a lack of equipment and all forms that we submit at our campus are sent here to main campus for processing. That is why we came here for answers,” Mungwe said.
