Protesting Durban University of Technology students vow to return to picket lines on Friday
Students at the Durban University of Technology says it will return to the picket lines on Friday.
On Thursday, a group of students held a protest, demanding NSFAS payouts.
They’re also fuming over a new payment method that they want scrapped.
The students have vowed to disrupt the academic programme if their demands are not met.
“We took an initiative to say we cannot allow a situation where our students will go to classes and partake in academic activities while they are hungry.”
Student leader, Siyanda Mpontshana, said that no student would sit in class while they still had grievances.
Police and metro police dispersed their protest.
But for these students, protesting will only stop when their demands are met.
Management at the Durban University of Technology told the publication that while classes were disrupted on Thursday, it had not suspended its academic programme.
