Three
employees were arrested from the National Students Financial Aid
Scheme (NSFAS). NSFAS said the arrest of three employees would
not affect the 2020 applications cycle.
On Tuesday, in Cape Town the trio was arrested at
the NSFAS Wynberg office. Money from students were allegedly stolen by the trio
and diverted it into their personal accounts.
Randall
Carolissen NSFAS administrator said NSFAS were tipped off by students who detected
suspicious activities in their accounts. Carolissen said these were isolated
incidents.
“NSFAS
would like to reassure the public that the arrest of the three employees will
not have any negative impact on their 2020 application cycle which is expected
to close successfully on 30 November 2019," he added.
The matter is being investigating by police.
