Loading Kudu Bucks onto student cards is still a daily struggle at Wits University.
- Terminals on East and West Campus are faulty.
- Students insert banknotes into the machines, only to have the money disappear without the corresponding credit being loaded onto their accounts.
- Others report that the machines outright reject their notes, leaving them unable to top up their balances at crucial moments whether to print or book a consultation at Campus Heath.
The issue has become a familiar and frustrating cycle.
This systemic failure has created a trail of lost funds, forcing students to either go without essential services or spend more money to get their tasks done.
Technical Security Solutions (TSS) management has attributed this to an aging access control system that is slowly being updated, hence their intermittent functionality.
