They had no food and I personally had to take them to my room to eat and shower. We also have an issue of San students who have not been getting their monthly allowance from the office of the prime Minister for three months now,&#8221; Ngutjinazo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191029_141036-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-282700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191029_141036-1.jpg 360w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191029_141036-1-168x300.jpg 168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><figcaption> EXAM WOES: students pictured sleeping in lecture halls.

We are not exaggerating. The delay by the Namibia Students Financial Fund in paying non-tuition fees affects the poorest of the poor students. Since exams began, the SRC and the office of the dean of students has had to deal with countless cases of students who sleep on campuses because they simply do not have any cab money. We also have countless cases where students are literally starving. These are students who have NSFAF loans and it\u2019s a disgrace,&#8221; the SRC saif. <br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p>Ngutjinazo maintained that the SRC and the Dean of students have so far secured N$12 000 from the SRC budget to help students mitigate the situation by offering breakfast to students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":282699,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-282698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
