JOHANNESBURG - The National Students Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has opened a case against a former board member, for allegedly withholding 10 laptops meant for under-resourced schools in the Eastern Cape.
The laptops were part of a donation drive in March 2026, and 30 of them were allocated to six high schools for communal student use.
