DASO NMMU to march against failed NSFAS pilot project

By

Today, 28 August 2014, the DA Youth National Secretary Kabelo Mogatosi and DASO NMMU SRC presidential candidate Hlomela Bucwa will be leading a march on the NMMU campus against the failed implementation of the NSFAS pilot project at NMMU.

The march will start at 11:50 am, leave from the North Campus Financial Aid Office  and proceed to the South campus.

DASO is calling on NMMU to withdraw from the failing NSFAS pilot project as soon as possible saying that NMMU is one of seven universities which was identified to participate in the NSFAS centralised pilot for 2014. This has resulted in students unduly being denied access and students on the pilot being adversely affected compromising their studies. The department and NSFAS do not have the capacity to immediately resolve the problems that have arisen

DASO NMMU is demanding, on behalf of NMMU students, that the institution put its students first and withdraw from the pilot until the centralised system is rectified to guarantee its students are not prejudiced as is currently the case.
