NSFAS board chairperson Ernest Khosa voluntarily asked to be put on leave of absence on 10 January following the allegations.
A director of a company whose husband was implicated in a damning Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) report has broken her silence over the allegations in the document.
On 4 January, OUTA released the report in which it was alleged that service providers contracted by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) had paid millions of rand in kickbacks to Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande and the chairperson of the NSFAS board, Ernest Khosa, as well as at least R1 million towards a South African Communist Party (SACP) conference.
OUTA also released voice recordings of two meetings in August between Khosa and Thula Ntumba, a Coinvest Africa representative who is the husband of one of its directors, Tshegofatso Ntumba.
