Greetings Mr Steenhuisen. I am Nomthandazo Msane an honours applicant at UKZN . I am currently struggling with my registration fees and the 15% of outstanding fees the university management demands we pay. I am a qualified SACE registered educator who has been appkying for a job for years without getting employed because i dont have the money to bribe anyone nor am i politically connected within the right cirles. I have been employed by the University as a mentor and tutor but this contract will be terminated if i am not a registered student in 2021. My residence has been approved but i will lose that too if i don't register. Most importantly I will lose my offer as an honors student. If i lose my residence i become homeless because i don't have a home. Please help me persuade our staff management to extend registration as other instutions have done and for our registration to take place on our campuses manually for every student. Because staff members are taking advantage of the current Covid regulations in place. They are working from home and ignoring our emails. I need R17 000 in total in order to register. Ibdon't qualify for a loan with anyone because i am not permanently employed and i earn less than R3500. Please help me fight for UKZN students to register and at least pay off their debts while studying. UCT and Wits hhave allowed their students to register regardless of their outstanding fees. Thank you.
