The National Student Financial Aid Scheme NSFAS has rejected claims circulating on social media that a student received more than R630,000 from the scheme, saying the information is false and misleading.
In a statement, NSFAS said it had noted with concern a social media post alleging that a student received a payment of R630,432.44 from the scheme.
The scheme said early checks show the claim is not genuine. Preliminary verification indicates that the image circulating online is manipulated and appears to be AI-generated and does not correspond with any legitimate NSFAS transaction. No such payment has been made by NSFAS, it said.
