NSFAS calls for criminal charges after former UJ director ordered to pay R18.18 million
NSFAS has called for swift law enforcement action after a court found former UJ director Andries Helani breached his employment contract by accepting bribes over student accommodation accreditation. Helani has been ordered to pay more than R18.18 million.
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has demanded criminal charges in the wake of a Labour Court ruling that ordered former University of Johannesburg (UJ) senior director Andries Helani to pay over R18.18 million. The scheme expressed its commitment to holding accountable those who engage in fraud, corruption, abuse of public funds, and exploitation of NSFAS-funded students.
The properties at the center of the case were accredited and leased through UJ, not directly by NSFAS, and NSFAS management has been instructed to continue monitoring such arrangements and to warn against practices that circumvent proper accreditation and accommodation processes.
