LEARNING CURVEBALL: President Ramaphosa ‘deeply concerned’ about ongoing NSFAS crisis

President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed deep concern over the ongoing crisis at the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), after the Gauteng High Court ordered the suspension of administrator Hlengani Mathebula. The President is awaiting a full briefing from Minister Buti Manamela on the judgment's implications, which will inform his response to the governance and financial stability issues at the institution.

The crisis at NSFAS has its roots in the tenure of its previous administrators, including Dr Nobuhle Nkabane, who was fired following allegations of appointing ANC politicians as chairpersons of Seta boards.
