Nanso, NSFAF reach deadlock in disbursement of funds

The Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) on Tuesday met with student body organisations to discuss ongoing delays in the disbursement of student tuition and non-tuition funds. Representatives of the Namibia National Students Organisation (Nanso) walked out of the meeting after rejecting the disbursement timelines tabled by the fund and mobilised students and members of the public to gather at Government Park on Friday for their planned protest. Nanso spokesperson Jessy Abraham says the organisation will not continue engagements with NSFAF, after the fund failed to meet its previous commitments to release the funds in April this year.
