THE University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) has warned students and parents to be on the lookout for fraudsters claiming to assist with financial assistance, student accommodation, registration, and places in academic programmes.
UKZN executive director of corporate relations Normah Zondo says the university does not charge for these services.

“We are also aware that individuals claiming to belong to the EFF Student Command (EFFSC) are offering to assist students with late applications and walk-in registration on all campuses. They are also threatening to burn properties belonging to the university as a further incentive to lure victims.”
The EFFSC has confirmed they have no knowledge of this initiative and have distanced themselves from the scam.
“Anyone found trespassing and damaging university property will be prosecuted,” said Zondo.
She further stated that all registration processes must be completed online from remote locations, as there will be no registration services and assistance available on campus.
The online registration system caters for all aspects of the registration processes, including accepting offers, change of mind, applications for re-admission, counselling as required (academic, curriculum, and/or personal), financial clearance, and registration for residence and final academic registration.
Parents and students are urged to check the website for verification at www.ukzn.ac.za
