go2uj decided to freeze NSFAS students allowances? It’s been over two months since UJ opened, students have not received their allowances. There has not been any statements released by management regarding this issue

A number of students have not received their allowances and are stuck at their respective residences hungry! @go2uj@txm1971 take us seriously!

Another also wrote :

Some students did not even receive any allowamce for the first time. At this stage I’m fcken hungry for revenge. The comrade in me is igniting.

But in a response from the School’s finance department, some of those students have not signed their consent forms, they are therefore urging such affected students to sign the consent forms.

University of Johannesburg (@go2uj) Tweeted:
Therefore, we encourage the affected students to sign the online consent forms as soon as possible so that the University can process payment of the allowances.

Student Finance. (https://twitter.com/go2uj/status/1380206515030798338?s=20)

For now, we cannot be sure if NSFAS has actually released the funds to the institution or nsfas which has rather delayed for lack of funds.

We are closely monitoring events and get our readers updated.
