NSFAS delays spark Germiston student march and housing standoff

Hundreds of Ekurhuleni West TVET College students marched in Germiston over unpaid NSFAS tuition and allowances, saying delays and short-payments are pushing them out of class. Protesters also demanded the eviction of tenants from the college-owned Villa Bianca flats within 24 hours to create student housing, putting them at odds with long-time residents. The standoff highlights a wider TVET housing crunch.
