MaWhoo claims NSFAS rejected her

"I did really well in school. I know people often say I do not have a matric certificate, but that's not true," she said. "Even at University level, you know NSFAS does not fund you if your APS is low," she added.
MaWhoo eventually went back to studying; however, she got a DM from Maphorisa, which changed her life.
"I even did teaching, but I dropped out during my second year, and my mother complained, asking me to go finish my studies, but I am a very stubborn person. So I went back to varsity, but just as I was about to continue, I got a DM from DJ Maphorisa saying, 'Let's work.'"
MaWhoo was asked where and how Maphorisa found out about her. She said a friend DM'd him on her behalf, asking for a feature.
Speaking about her upbringing, MaWhoo said she was raised by a single mother and had no father.
“It’s not only about being heartbroken from a relationship, but also about being raised without a father. That pain of saying I’m here today, and I was only raised by my mum, and things are happening,” she said in an interview.
Mzansi responds to MaWhoo's claims:
@be_mellow said:
"NSFAS has never rejected anyone for a low APS."
@Leig_h99 asked:
"What does well mean if your APS was low? Come on?"
@GivenKruger did not agree with MaWhoo:
"Mmmm, said this is not true. NSFAS funds students based on these 2 conditions: You are accepted at any institution of higher learning that is NSFAS accredited. Your parents/caretakers prove they can not afford to pay your fees. Nsfas does not check APS to grant students."
@uKilla_K qustioned:
"NSFAS has never rejected anyone because of your APS score. I mean, how would she have even done teaching if her points were low?"
