# The South African Students Federation has written to Parliament’s Higher Education Portfolio Committee, demanding action over minister Nobuhle Nkabane’s silence on critical student issues. The federation’s president, Keamogetswe Masike, says repeated attempts to engage the minister have been ignored, sparking outrage. Concerns include the National Student Financial Aid Scheme board appointments, expired South African Union of Students leadership, unjustified allowance deductions, and 145-million-rand lost in private accommodation payments. He warns of national student mobilisation unless urgent intervention and accountability follows.
