Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – Parliament has postponed its inquiry into the affairs of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme after the bursary fund decided to review key decisions that formed part of the inquiry.<\/p>\n

NSFAS board chairperson Ernest Khosa requested the postponement so that an investigation into Nehawu\u2019s allegations against former administrator Randall Carolissen could be instituted.<\/p>\n

Briefing the committee on Wednesday, Khosa said the board had decided to review key decisions taken during Carolissen\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n

He said they were waiting for procurement to be finalised before an investigation was instituted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe envisage this to conclude in three months,\u201d he said, adding that they had written to the higher education and training portfolio committee.<\/p>\n

Committee chairperson Philly Mapulane confirmed that they had received the correspondence from Khosa and agreed to the request.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have, therefore, taken a view that we should delay or postpone, and, of course, based on the outcome emerging from the review process, we will take a final decision whether it is necessary for us to proceed, given what comes out of the review,\u201d Mapulane said.<\/p>\n

He said that once that the NSFAS was done with its review, it was expected to brief the committee in order for the committee to decide on a way forward.<\/p>\n

ANC MP Tebogo Letsie said the board should be afforded an opportunity to understand the issues at the NSFAS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI support the view that we allow them space to get pulse with those issues. It will not assist any of us if we proceed,\u201d Letsie said.<\/p>\n

He said they did not want a repeat of what happened at the inquiry at the University of Venda, where they received answers such as \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d and \u201cwe were not there\u201d.<\/p>\n
