National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) CEO Andile Nongogo has been fired amid a R47-billion payments scandal. NSFAS officials revealed this at a briefing of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) that Nongogo has been axed. NSFAS revealed last week that a probe by law firm Werkmans Attorneys and Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi found that the fired Nongogo, had hand-picked four firms to pay around 1.1 million students their R1 650 monthly allowances directly and not through tertiary institutions, which had been the previous payment method. For more on this Elvis Presslin spoke to Outa Chairperson, Wayne Duvenage.
