NSFAS employees have opened a theft case against a former board member accused of keeping 10 laptops meant for under-resourced Eastern Cape schools during a donation drive.
NSFAS employees have opened a theft case against a former board member accused of keeping 10 laptops meant for under-resourced schools in the Eastern Cape instead of delivering them to identified beneficiaries during a donation drive.
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) said the laptops were part of a donation initiative held in March 2026, where 30 devices were allocated to six high schools in the province.
Each school was set to receive five laptops for communal use, but NSFAS said the board member, who was leading the scheme’s delegation at the time, allegedly kept 10 of the devices.
NSFAS said its employees decided to open a criminal case against the former board member to ensure accountability over the alleged theft of resources intended for disadvantaged learners.
