Sihlalo, cha Anele ubuza kahle ke namhlanje ntombi, engathi nokho kuyazamazama kona, uyakhula ntombi. Siyabonga. [Ihlombe.] [Uhleko.] [Chairperson, Anele, you asked a good question today, my girl. You are getting better and better, and that is a sign of maturity, my girl. Thank you. [Applause.] [Laughter.]]
The question that you are asking is very important in the sense that one of the things that we are looking at is to further capacitate the National Student Financial Aid Scheme to be able to track students - those who complete their studies and those who drop out. We do that, but we do recognise that the information system still needs to be strengthened. Secondly, on the issue of the burden, I just want to say that part of the review committee's work is precisely to look into all those things. For instance, let me give you an example which you might not have mentioned. I know of a case of a student who was assisted 10 years ago by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. She was given a loan of R3 000 and now she owes R16 000.
Firstly, it is illegal to charge interest on the original capital that you had actually loaned. We are also looking at blacklisted students to find out the reasons for that blacklisting, and that is one of the tasks that we have actually given to the review committee. But we are not waiting for the review committee to finish. Where we pick up problems, we will deal with them in such a way that if there are any specific issues or problems that you want to raise ...
... hhayi, umnyango waloMnyango Wemfundo Ephakeme ntombi uvulekile. Siyabonga. [Ihlombe.] [... our doors at the Department of Higher Education and Training are open, my girl. Thank you. [Applause.]]
