The students, who live in unaccredited accommodation, have reportedly gone without accommodation allowances since the beginning of the yearThe Central University of Technology (CUT) has committed to urgently paying accommodation allowances to 1 392 students at its Welkom Campus following an intervention by Higher Education and Training Deputy Minister Yusuf Cassim. The students, who live in unaccredited accommodation, have reportedly gone without accommodation allowances since the beginning of the year, leaving some facing the risk of eviction. The commitment follows Cassim’s visit to the Welkom campus on Tuesday, where he met affected students and CUT management over the ongoing delays in processing their allowances. Cassim requested that these concerns be included in a report on the suitability and quality of accredited student accommodation. The report will be sent to his office and the student accommodation section of Nsfas for further investigation.
