The Mpumalanga police had to open doors for students of the
Mapulaneng TVET college to sleep at the institution's premises after they were
chased away from private residence due to an alleged nonpayment of their
accommodation allowance by National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).
Since last week students who have been chased out from
their private residential area for failing to pay for the last three months
have been sleeping at the Acornhoek police station in Bushbuckridge and local
high schools had to open their doors too.
According to secretary of SASCO in the Mapulaneng campus,
Suzan Mbazima told Sowetan that for the past thre months they haven’t got
money to pay for private resident of students hence the mass evictions by
landlords.
“Yes we sleeping here at the police station, we try by all
means to find a safe place to sleep like the police station. We are in this
situation because we haven’t got our money to pay private residence for the
past three months. Sowetan
