The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has revealed that approximately R320 million in financial aid remains untouched in dormant Celbux accounts linked to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). This substantial sum represents funds allocated to students but not utilized. The SIU’s findings come amid ongoing investigations into allegations of mismanagement within NSFAS. Simultaneously, several higher education institutions are challenging requirements to return credit balances to the scheme. This dispute complicates efforts to reconcile NSFAS funding and ensure responsible financial governance. The situation raises concerns about accountability and the effective distribution of student financial aid. Further investigation is underway to determine the reasons for the dormant funds and resolve the repayment disagreements.
