Medunsa protests

Well if they passed by a mere 1% or 2%, then they are weak students.

I have no point about the professors. If they were intentionally failing students, then there should be some form of disciplinary action against them. BUT the students who partook in the protest and destroyed public property should have disciplinary action taken against them as well, they should be excluded from all tertiary studies for the duration of their life, and they should be charge with malicious damage to property.

Please stop there because you got no idea. Ive been saying that the students s complaints were legit because I know, ive been there though i didnt fail the said subjects. The fact that you are here defending a professor who is accussed of intentionally failing students says a lot about you. The remarking proved the students were failed. What more do you want from them?
Can you please tell me your reason for defending these professors? Lets see how much reasoning you have got before we decide to use your services wherever you are working.

Oh please ....stop putting words in my mouth. I made no mention of the professors or what I thought of them. All that the remarking has proved is that if you throw your toys out the cot enough someone will pick you up and go "ag sjaimpies ... let's give a little mark here where the answer could have been right or it could have been wrong" ...or ...."well we can't actually read that so let's give a little mark there " .... "oh and look... now these few have 48% ... let's just round it up , shame man , poor little diddums" :rolleyes:

My point stands . Work hard ... get grades well above the minimum required pass mark and you will never be in the situation where you even need your paper remarked.
Decide to riot , damage property and infringe on the rights of hard-working students to go to class, and as far as I am concerned you're a numbskull who at the very least deserves to be thrown out of the learning institution and banned until you change your attitude , grow the fsk up and realise the world doesn't owe you anything
Being able to go to varsity is a privilege , not a right

Your point that you have been there and you passed, means absolutely nothing when it comes to understanding the situation. Whether you want to use my services is neither here nor there... but I don't blame other people for my own failures or shortcomings as some people seem to do

First of all I am not a student and I was not protesting. secondly The test is MCQ so your spelling whatever is just rubbish. Those things alone make your entire post useless.
Let me bring this to domkop level so that you can understand properly
  • Professors failed students
  • Students noticed the problem
  • Students complained but no one listened
  • They protested
  • That put pressure on the management to look into the matter
  • An investigation was carried out and the students complaints were found to be true
  • Professors suspended

Mind you I am in no way supporting the vandalization but it is the students rights to protest if such things are happening.

It is their right to protest..

They lose any moral high ground the SECOND they intimidate innocent people or destroy property. Personally, the investigation should be allowed to go ahead, they should get remarked, get shown their passing grade, then be shown the consequences of their actions and have their tertiary qualification revoked and then be excluded from tertiary study permanently...

Yes good luck excluding that many students. I wonder why no one has ever thought of your great plan. Oh wait the Generations guy did and look how well that turned out.
 
Yeah... they've all been written out of the show... worked pretty well if you ask me

I was responding to someone who was being personal. What BS argument if I may ask?
 
I would rather employ a hard-working and honest 48%-er, than an animalistic, vandalising 50%-er. The remark is irrelevant (they could have gotten it done without torching vehicles), their behaviour is...
 
SAMA, NEHAWU and the Medunsa stuff including HODs were in support of the strike says a lot about the problem. It says a lot when the whole campus and outside structures unite against few individuals. But mybb knows better I guess

Do you employ health workers or even employ people for that matter?

Don't be a 'tard please. There was nothing wrong with their strike, there was everything wrong with their behaviour. If you don't understand this then you're about on the same intellectual level as the vandals...

Irrelevant if they're health workers or not. You don't get a waiver to bypass the law for being in a specific sector...

Read the thread and you will realize that there are people who are saying the students deserved to fail.
In response to the latter part of your post, you need to understand that when people in former white institutions complain, their complaints are usually solved immediately. In former black institutions its a different story. The protest was a peaceful one for 1 week without any response from anyone. Then they burnt 2 cars worth less than 50 000 combined and then everyone started to take them serious.
The problem is not the people who vandalize but the people who do not take people serious until they start vandalizing.
In a perfect world, this problem should have been solved without strike

It was a subtle way of saying they will never come looking for a job from you. Read between the lines

Ok, so because the cars were worth less than R50,000, that makes it ok...

My original post wasn't referring specifically to health care workers, but people with the same mentality as these vandals that seem to be a norm in this country. Read between the lines...
