Several prospective students who were excited about studying at the Vaal University of Technology VUT have told Sowetan of their disappointment after offers were rescinded due to alleged capacity though they had already paid registration fees.
Bonolo Hlalele, 19, received the Mid-Vaal mayoral financial aid but said she was unable to register for a diploma in public management even after paying the registration fee. When I had to register, the system told me the course was full, she said.
Hlalele said she received the offer letter to study at the institution in early January and was told to pay R2,500 for the registration fee a day before registering, which she did.
