Student protests turn violent

And what are they going to achieve exactly...? Tertiary education is not free. The fees are high but there are students who are in equally bad situations who have worked hard for bursaries or have taken out a student loans to try and pay the moneys. What exactly were they expecting when they went there...?

“The Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande, committed, at our national congress, that the amount of R2 500 for registration must be kept,” said Luthuli.

I'm sorry, but since when did anyone hold a gun to their head and force them to enroll?

I paid my tuition at CPUT and got a much better education than at the sorry excuse for technikons in the EC.

Presently we encounter a generation of self-entitlement.

Enrol at UNISA if you cannot afford a full time place.

Hmmm so basically for the poorer community we say if you cannot afford it don't go, then we sit and bitch about the poor people who seem lazy.

Good on them for standing up. A similar thing happened in england awhile back. Very few parents have 5k, let alone a student.

There is a thing called student aid for poor students.
