NSFAS Under Fire After Auditor-General Reveals Bursaries Paid to Over 800 Deceased Students NSFAS is facing renewed outrage after the Auditor-General revealed that the National Student Financial Aid Scheme continued to pay bursaries to more than 800 students recorded as deceased, while thousands of ineligible applicants also received funding meant for the country’s poorest learners. According to the investigation, 822 students listed as dead in the Department of Home Affairs database remained on NSFAS’s active funding list. In addition, thousands of students who exceeded the income threshold and therefore did not qualify were also paid. Higher Education Minister Buti Manamela confirmed the findings, acknowledging that they expose serious deficiencies in NSFAS’s verification processes. Funds intended for poor and working-class students have been diverted due to inadequate cross-checking with death records and income data. The scandal has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many South Africans comparing it to the persistent problem of “ghost employees” in government departments. Critics have called for urgent intervention by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and the Hawks, questioning how such payments could continue undetected and urging authorities to trace where the money has gone. Some have pointed out the irony, as living students often struggle to secure or retain NSFAS funding due to strict academic and eligibility checks. NSFAS, which supports over a million students annually, has faced repeated criticism for inefficiencies, including payment delays, fraud allegations, and weak systems integration. This latest disclosure underscores the need for better data-sharing between government departments and tighter controls to prevent the misuse of public funds. No exact monetary figure for the overpayments was provided in the report, but even modest monthly disbursements to 822 accounts would represent a significant leakage from the fiscus. As calls grow for accountability, the Department of Higher Education and NSFAS are expected to face increased pressure to implement immediate fixes, including automated death notifications and enhanced eligibility audits.

“I don’t want to speak to Clement Manyathela—I want nothing to do with him. He nearly cost me a job after questioning Cyril Ramaphosa about Phala Phala.” 😬 — Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, Minister in the Presidency. Today, the SABC "can't afford"—all the best, Clement.

ELON: WE EXIST BECAUSE WE’RE WIRED TO LOVE OUR CHILDREN “I think, frankly, if we weren’t biologically inclined to love our children and to want to nurture them and find reward in that, we would have ceased to exist long ago. You can take, say, a wolf or a wildcat or some creature that would normally be very aggressive, and when that creature has babies, the mother nurtures them and is tender and caring. We’ve evolved to love our offspring, it’s literally built into our survival.” Source: @iam_smx

Sies! @GaytonMcK Are you threatening me? Are you insinuating I don’t have security? All this because you delayed on responding to ActionSA’s parliamentary question on your travel expense? All this because i questioned Kenny’s presence at Molefe’s house? If this isn’t THUGGISH behaviour coming from a whole MINISTER, then I don’t know what is! If ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR ANYONE CLOSE TO ME, SA REMEMBER THIS!! @FrancisHerd @eNCA @SABCNews @ME_Beaumont @HermanMashaba @AtholT

LATEST: Initial report… AT 14:44 on R59 just off Johan Le Roux off ramp, it is alleged that a white Nissan started shooting at the white Mercedes Benz Sprinter 22 seater. The Sprinter crashed into the Nissan (stolen vehicle) and the three gunmen fled on foot. They then hijacked a car. Five dead. 18 people were injured.

White people in Cape Town finally get a reality check of what Black South Africans have been complaining about!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨Must Watch‼️‼️

The owner of a hijacked Bryanston mansion is losing patience as people continue to occupy the property illegally. The tenants have defied a seven-day ultimatum to leave the property, which has illegal services connections and unsafe shelters. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403.
