The National Student Financial Aid Scheme, better known as NSFAS, is a vital lifeline for students in need of financial assistance. It is funded by government and manages the billions of rands that are distributed to students to cover their fees, books, accommodation, and even their meals. Now it’s under threat. Years of mismanagement and questionable financial decisions inside the organisation have left hundreds of thousands of students in the lurch. Many of the problems can be traced back to a new payment system that allows service providers to charge high service fees. Carte Blanche examines how proximity to high-ranking NSFAS officials has benefitted one of these service providers.

NSFAS is still a relatively small fund and it is riddled with inefficiencies and corruption. Just imagine the NHI🤣🤣🤣
They cannot even manage NSFAS but want us to believe they can manage NHI.
cadre deployment, service providers are family of the nsfas officials, corruption at its best, ANC at its best
All you hear is ...theft n fraud in every corner 😢😢😢😢😢
The rot is too deep now.
@@Ritesh-yy1zrit is unfortunately. Doubt even a new government would be able to prevent this.
@@TsotsiLife even if there is competent leadership, it will take decades to fix
@colleengreenthompson6095 and such connotations are synonymous with the ANC,the tender system is just a disguise for more corruption,they could not change it for it would end the looting.
Govan is getting better with every episode. I'm a huge fan!
I worry for his safety. He is confronting a lot of rich and powerful people.
same
i’m really concerned about the safety of our presenters
A lot of deserving students were later excluded and left lavishing out in the cold. This too shall pass
Know one of the victims 😢 and people say corruption is a victimless crime
Why can Carte Blanche do all this work but our police cannot ?
And still do nothing even after all this investigations
Corruption and greed has become the norm in RSA.
Thank you ANC, this will be your legacy.
Haaibo, you forgets incompetence, thats worse than them all.
Corruption = apartheid = colonisation.
@@Expat_from_zaLandit’s not incompetence it’s pure corruption.
@@Expat_from_zaLand😂
They the ANC IS OUT OF POWER ,now is the time to make these corrupt political cadres go to jail, all the SETAS are corrupt also
Hundreds of students left on the streets in Stellenbosch because of corruption in NSFAS and not paying out to students after they were 'Approved'.
How disgusting!
Black leaders and money 😅💰. This is the reason why our continent of Africa will never develop because of the greed and selfiness of our leaders 😢
💯 🔊🔊🔊
Oh I thought it was the settlers and colonizers.
Markus Jooste is not black though neither is Gavin Jooste
More promises made to get votes yet zuma the clown is walking around while he should be in jail

Clearly, it’s not only politicians that are corrupt in SA
It is obvious that if you are not corrupt, you are not recruited. I still wonder how people voted for the same people again.
They are all ANC politicians! Watch the video again!
As a student who was left out in the cold by NSFAS this year, I almost gave up on finishing my studies this year due to being defunded. Thankfully, in my case, the private sector stepped in
You should investigate the new srd sassa grant fraud
This carte blanche team is really carrying the legacy 💡
Sibongile Mani was charged for spending money that was incorrectly sent to her but the actual thieves are still walking free. That money was not an accounting error they just sent it to the wrong person imo.
She's no different naye loyo. How do you spend so much NSFAS money, while being an SRC member who deals with hungry students complaining about NSFAS every day??
She did not even bother to assist the feeding scheme but purchased weaves, iphones and alcohol. She would have done a lot worse in government.
And then Blade comes back to parliament. Such a slap in the face
He's really trash 🗑
Nothing mentioned about past students not paying back their loans once they start working. Nothing is free, someone has to pay.
Great expose’ guys
Please take this matter right thru to ensure our students benefit and that the criminals are indeed prosecuted
Really we can’t have another 5 years of this rampant corruption
They took a lot of money that was supposed to be given to students in April
Thank you so much to the whole Carte Blanche team, what you do is so important for our country. You should all feel proud of the work you do to raise awareness about these massive issues. Know that you are a valuable national asset!
This is what we vote for? ANC EFF and MK will never give us peace in RSA tender after tender
How are EFF and MK responsible for what is happening under the ANC's administration? Secondly, would you rather have da govern than these 3 parties?
a lot of students have been impacted for life due to NSFAS incompetencies since its founding.
WHY!? Yazi ANC was never for its people.. so many students suffered due the itchy greedy and stealing hands of the flashy-lifestyle living tycoons
Many have warned over and over against groups like the ANC and EFF and were ridiculed as racists. Politicians were, and are still to this day, pitting the people of SA against one another. But people's eyes are slowly opening up. What politicians fear most is when people stand together. So they will pit us against one another to distract us from their looting spree.
they still voting for it, unbelievable!
🤣🤣🤣The ANC just gave us criminals. When are we jailing them?
Thank you Carte Blanche 👏👏 all this needs to be exposed and all the officials involved
Yoh R70 x 2 million students = R140 million per month, yah neh
You should search on google how much FNB makes a month from fees you’ll faint.
madness
Looting and greed always. These people must all go to jail.
Never because they are black
Do these guys really think that they are capable of doing business when they don't understand anything about business? They can do anything illegally, 100%
Always a political connection that is untouchable
What about the taxpayer that is paying for all this? Because at the end of the day, it comes out of the pocket of hard worker men and women of South Africa. LET NOT FORGET THAT! So the ultimate victims are the taxpayers!
Tax payers are the real victims.
Well Done Carte Blanch still The best at investigating.
Can't always blame ANC , when i was in Varsity LOTS of pple ddnt actually need NSFAS but they still applied n got it...then they buy fancy clothes and iPhones ..society needs to also look at itself
Another ANC success and Blade completely silent....
From day I, I could tell he was a snake 😡
It’s ridiculous that we need a middle man for government to pay itself.
I know of very poor students who had to just go back to their homes because of this problem.
We're suffering a lot😢 next semester narocco it's coming back😭😭
Our tax money 😢 as tax payers we are abused and benefits nothing from the money government takes from use monthly even wen we go pension sars still tax the very some fund that comes from the money they have already taxed before.
When we marched in 2016 we knew what we wanted and how to get it. During that time with the contributions of various academias and student leaders across all institutions we developed a detailed document titled "Thuto ke Lesedi". It speaks about how the government should make money to fund free education. Unfortunately our government never got to see it Blade was too arrogant to listen to the students. I still have a copy of the document
Why not chsmpion the document through other channels
Corruption being routed out
How I so wish I was a trust fund baby and didn't rely on NSFAS💔
I wish I didn't even consider NSFAS 😭
Disgrace!!!!
Nongogo became the sacrificial lamb😂😂😂😂there’s no honour amongst thieves indeed
As An Appeal Student this matter really affects because there's fraud, corruption and the third benefiting parties .. Because as deserving student we really struggle a lot due to this matter..
I wasn't able to finish my studies through NSFAS because the company outsourced to provide the stipends ect vanished.
Well done Carte Blanche. You nailed this story. It is our view however, that the dots ultimately link to Blade Nzimande. He appointed Nongogo, Khosa and a number of others linked to gross maladministration and corrupt conduct in various SETAs, TVET Colleges, NSFAS, etc.
The saddest part is that no one ever goes to jail. That means crime does pay especially when you are in government.
Ja ne... And this is why we love this country.
DMV discriminates against the working class citizens whose children are to lay full tuition fees for Higher education . Imagine just because you were not born of a family member who was not politically active but sustained an education and is paid higher than R350 000. Just because they earn more doesn’t mean they don’t succumb to the economic bondages that the Apartheid legacy has left behind. This must be discriminatory on the basis of birth. So certain families receive free higher education by relation to political veterans which compromises mostly of politicians who at times earn higher salaries that civil servants who hold position in the upper levels of government.
These people are taxed crazy amounts to pay for political veterans children fees and NSFAS whilst they are deprived from using the same scheme to take the children to school. This means they must suffer the burdens of educating children who aren’t theirs whilst their own struggle and are at times unable to attend university. It’s unfair and inconsiderate by the government and by the Minister of Higher Education.
My only comment is: _Did you _*_really_*_ expect anything less?_
Jacob Zuma, Blade Nzimande, Naledi Pandor anything they touch... is corrupt.
In the words of Zuma “corruption is a western thing!”
It’s common sense that corruption is everywhere, there’s just those such as the “westerners” that at least make sure the country is A OK 👌🏻 while they steal😉.
I know of alot of students I went to college with who couldn't get their certificates because apparently they had outstanding funds. when asked how since they were with NSFAS, they were told to go to SSS or pay the outstanding amount. 🚮
I haven't received any living allowance in THREE MONTHS...
Ive never received living allowances , but im grateful that at least my studies are paid for.
I am so sorry , hope you will be okay
Amazing reporting💯 truly love Carte Blanche
This is what dragged the ANC south.
Tax criminals
What's the point of exposure when there is no accountability?
Carte Blanche keep up the hard excellent work in exposing the dirt in society 🎉🎉
At times you find that the children of civil servants will attend cheaper Universities made special for Black students during Apartheid because they can never afford to sustain a standard of living as well as pay tuition fees for Higher Education at the bestowed white institutions in South Africa whilst they serve the state dedicated to transitional constitutionality. How can we say the constitution is transitional when civil servants lack benefits to take their own children to Universities that they can actually qualify to get into just because they earn more than a R 29 000 a month *before tax* . This means they must never be able to obtain certain things . This may lead to patrimonial loss because cars and homes are sold by civil servants so that they can take their children to school. People move from areas they could previously afford to other areas so they can simply afford school fees. Keep in mind that civil servants are prohibited from starting their own businesses when they are in financial need. They are also not allowed to take private donations.
Guess what that leads to? Corruption because parents can’t stand to watch their own children excluded from schools because they can’t afford to clear the fees in time for registration into another year to further their studies.
Imagine the amounts of money these civil servants must pay for medical aid, groceries, a home, electricity, water, school fees, transport, books , clothes residence at University and in special cases pocket money for their children and those other children whom they are educating in High Schools and Primary schools , ensuring that relatives are eating back home and have essential resources and access to healthcare. Black tax is heavily in fashion in post-Apartheid South Africa. Whilst Mk veterans and politicians are taking their children whose fees are paid by the state to overseas trips and buy them fancy cars that even civil servants can’t afford.
Why is it so easy to steal from the vulnerable? That act of greed truly blows my mind
Because they can't do anything
@@anthonytesla8382 But to go to sleep with no gnawing guilt for having done so? That’s the part I don’t understand
@@bloom53834 There are people that are incapable of feeling guilty for anything. The logic being that after suffering during Apartheid, now it is "our time to eat".
has anyone investigated if the charactedrs are of south african origin ? it will help to understand problems initiated by foreign born vs south african born.
Who is finally going to convict, jail, & throw out the trash permanently( never allowed get a government tender)! So as to set an example !
The minister use to pay the institutions funds into the principals private bank account.
what a disgrace this is 😢
Again Charters Blanche, we are still waiting for your invitation on Rand manipulation by ABSA, Netbank, FNB and many others
I so wish they could investigate CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY for stealing students money
Hi Govan love watching you guys solve cases i was scammed in january this year out of R56000 it was all my savinggs i had we wanted to buy a puppy via the intanet from western cape finding out i was scammed it was to late after opening theft case with saps and the bank it took them 5 months just to let me no they could not get funds to refund me i feel that calitec bank should of refunded me as it was a internal account and the other two were external accounts i personally dont think the bank did investigate the matter and just held me on a line why after so long to tell me sorry could of done that in the first month we are pensioners aswell they dont seem to care they told me i dont hav insurance on my savings account to refund me scammers are just getting away with what ever and im R56000 lost im so disappointed in the bank
This is no surprise, we life in South africa
😢 some of us have dropped out and are in debt because of these greedy power hungry people
The QUESTION we should ask is.. has this funding in all these decades actually DECREASED unemployment rates ? From that answer, is where we should work.
That's the roed of NHI
It has been use as feeding lot for Anc cadres
Please investigate why service providers who provide off-campus student accommodation and services to tens of thousands of students in the Eastern cape have not been paid? It's June, and most providers received less than 30% of their invoice to date!
Over R70 p/m for 10 months is over R700 that's saying u didn't have decline fees, used different withdrawal method or any other sort of scam fees, excluding fees they'll charge on book allowance also yoh
And NHI will go the same way. There is nothing to indicate otherwise.
Ave intshontsha le NATION
STUDENTS AND RES LANDLORDS 😭😭😭 WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED PAYMENT FROM NSFAS FOR STUDENT ACCOMMODATION SINCE MARCH THEY LIVING FOR FREE TIL THIS DAY, OVERDRAFT 😭😭😭
where's the full length?
Nsfas hasn't paid my tuition in the last 2 years
Hence we need to have our own State Bank where all the payments will be made.
This can also happen in any government or department due to tender giving to individuals in that department
The people who need to watching such videos are dancing on Tick Tock.
Its here
this is so sad
The big mistake was changing Nsfass from being a bursary to a free education system.
Why was nobody arrested & charged?
look into norroco too and their rediculous ank charges
How's the student funding programme doing in Venezuela?
Since this is where SA is headed.
Also interesting to me is the Sizwe Nxasana departure at NSFAS. Does any of that form a pre-story to this Nongogo/Ntumba/Khosa saga?
SA under ANC will continue to go down
This is Africa
Are you'll able to advise on what happens with old students who still owes fees to nfsas? What is the process here since there is so much of corruption ongoing with nsfas? Also, I was trying to get ahold of nfsas for months, without any feedback. So, it's difficult to know what is the ongoing balance owed, since we only receive statements on request (and no one is responding to emails), yet I am sure interest is still being charged - which I feel is unfair.
I'm a witsie, where was I when this was filmed😭. nd funny enough, I'm funded by nsfas.
And nothing happens to the villains....
😢😢 sad..their back in Parly.
not all ancestors are equal
NSFAS is a means for students to waste money too. On 3 occasions I was approached by Varsity students with the NSFAS card. They offered to pay for my groceries at PNP. I denied this request. On the 3rd occasion, I threatened to call the store manager and the student disappeared. If they are successful, they go to the liquor store and buy alcohol and cigarettes with the education funding. Please investigate because NSFAS and department of education ignored me.
Look at all their evil eyes 😈
What next?? Its such a shame!!
A very profitable busyness
Just wait untill Floyd Shivambu becomes SA mini star of Finance.
🎉
💯💯👏
