Buzzapp Master NSFAS said its legal team advised that disbursement of student allowances may be made through the institutions for university students, and directly into the bank accounts of TVET college students.
“For the month of August, university students will receive their allowances through their institutions and TVET college student will receive their allowances directly into their bank accounts. NSFAS endeavours to keep all stakeholders abreast with developments related to the ongoing court processes,” NSFAS said.
The Werkmans report, which sparked the termination of such contracts, found issues in the deals such as a conflict of interest involving NSFAS former CEO Andile Nongogo, irregularities in the bid process of direct payment service providers, and the lack of a feasibility study before implementing the payment system.
It recommended that the contracts be terminated and that Nongogo be dismissed as it was found that he actively participated in the presentation of proposals by service providers to the bid evaluation committee, violating NSFAS’s public procurement process.
