EXPOSED: Criminals PREY on Desperate Students as University System CRUMBLES
YOUR DREAMS ARE FOR SALE. As a tidal wave of hopeful students crashes against the gates of higher education, a DARK UNDERWORLD of predators is cashing in on the chaos, and the Tshwane University of Technology is POWERLESS to stop it. This isn’t just a warning—it’s a DAMNING INDICTMENT of a broken system that ABANDONS the vulnerable.
INSIDIOUS fraudsters, operating with impunity BOTH online and IN PERSON on campus grounds, are exploiting a perfect storm of institutional failure: late applications, ZERO accommodation, and a soul-crushing admissions backlog. They are NOT hiding in the shadows; they are boldly approaching families, posing as officials on Facebook and WhatsApp, promising miracles for a price.
“Every year the university sees a spike in fraud,” admits a helpless administrator, a statement that reeks of COMPLICITY and inaction. The crisis is so severe that TUT has been forced to issue a desperate decree: NO legitimate representative will EVER approach you for cash. But this shocking revelation begs the question: Why is this even necessary? Because the university’s own processes are so BYZANTINE and inaccessible that criminals have become the de facto admissions office.
This SCANDAL exposes a horrifying truth: the journey to education is now a gauntlet run by wolves, where a student’s life savings can be stolen with a single WhatsApp message. The institution’s so-called “cashless” policy is a JOKE when thieves are openly soliciting “soft payments” outside its lecture halls.
She explained that TUT operates as a cashless institution and any requests for cash payments or so-called “soft payments” should be reported immediately to campus protection services and the ethics hotline.
“When in doubt always verify information through the university’s official website or contact the TUT call centre on 086 110 2421 as a quick check can prevent financial loss and protect you from being scammed,” she highlights.
