Background
Few days back, The Unisa pleaded the students to be patient as they are working tirelessly on the new payment system for Unisa allowances. They initially announced that they will pay students allowances directly to students bank account after their contract with intellimali came to an end.
Updates
Now the University says “more work still needs to be done to ensure that the implementation of the solution is in a manner which complies with Unisa’s governance processes and that it does not disadvantage Unisa’s students.”
The University Announcement
The University has now resorted to appointing Intellimali again for a period up to the end of June 2022 to disburse students allowances. “As a results management took a decision that, in the interest of ensuring that students receive their allowances from Monday the 25th of April 2022; the services of Intelimali be enlisted as an interim solution until the end of June 2022 whilst interventions to implement the Unisa Enterprise solution are finalised.” Unisa Announcement.
Students reactions

Another reaction says “I saw an announcement stating that the contract of intellimali and Unisa has been lapsed, the I threw the card on the Dustin so now I’m confused…The intellimali is what ? I remember we said we want it in our bank accounts….” The message was followed by a picture of Gareth laughing while Unathi was in tears.
