GEORGE NEWS - Delayed payment by the Nelson Mandela University (NMU) George Campus to local landlords who provide student housing has caused dissatisfaction among some, but the university says it has faced special challenges with payment systems because of Covid-19.
An unhappy landlord who wanted to remain anonymous said students arrived in March and three months had gone by before he received his first payment on Friday 4 June. I provide cleaning services, Wi-Fi and basic services such as water and electricity for the students. Some landlords depend on the income from the rental to cover bond payments, he complained.

GEORGE NEWS - Some George homeowners who provide accommodation to students of the Nelson Mandela University (NMU) George Campus have not received payment for housing the students from the university since March, when the students arrived.
An unhappy landlord who wanted to remain anonymous said he has to provide cleaning services, Wi-Fi and basic services such as water and electricity for the students. Some landlords depend on the income from the rental to cover bond payments. It has been three months that payment has not been forthcoming. It is making it extremely difficult for us. We cannot provide a free service. We have costs to cover. Complaints with the university have been to no avail, said the complainant.
