resulting in financial complications for some landlords, some of whom have been

have expressed concern and frustration. They described NSFAS as a disappointing
institution after continual non-payment issues and unnecessary spending. Phemelo
speaks to Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Tebogo
Letsie.
