Labour Court finds Andries Helani accepted more than R3.2-million in payments linked to private student accommodation providers
A senior UJ official, Andries Helani, is ordered to repay more than R18 million for fraudulent contracts related to private student accommodation. According to the Johannesburg Labour Court, Helani, who managed accreditation of privately-owned student accommodation funded by NSFAS, failed to declare any conflicts of interest. Judge Reynaud Daniels found that Helani received over R3.2 million from the two companies and other private accommodation service providers between March 2021 and March 2024, without declaring any outside business activities or relationships with the service providers.
