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.
