Where are they going to get lecturers in all the subjects capable of teaching and setting exams? And classrooms, etc.?

By now we should have produced at least 20? Two for every year the last 10 years?
We have a Nkandla, billions of rands lost due to maladminstartion.

It could have been done if we had the political will. But our current guys like the voters uneducated. Or it seems that way.
We could at least have had one such institution. We had the time and the money for at least one. Like I said extend the uni's we have. No need for a complete new one. Hayfield square could have been a nice new setup for UP.

Yes now it isn't practical. But being angry at a language is not the answer either.

Agg shame, I'm sure Mila is going to lose much sleep over that.... pity for you though that she doesn't have "stay out of your way" as you put it, or not respond to your posts.

Brought on by whom? Their parents? Sounds like the type of family that really enjoyed the disgust of apartheid. They need to move to Antarctica and try farm there.

Why? Not that I really care but it would be interesting?
Do I ask difficult questions?

I don't expect her to lose any sleep actually. And I'll just ignore her replies. Replying to me would just be a waste of energy on her part, so might as well not do it.

You do know that this response on your part does paint you as a petulant little child?

Why? You still have not answered. Are my questions difficult?

No, I just don't like you. Don't worry, you're not alone on that list (most aren't on this forum so you might be a little lonely still). Oh and don't flatter yourself, you're no smarter than your average Joe.

The proposals were that English be used as a primary language of instruction in all lectures, and that Afrikaans and Sepedi languages be used for additional support to students in tutorials and practicals. However, some student organisations such as the Pan Africanist Student Movement of Azania (PASMA), EFFSC and South African Students Congress (SASCO) are not happy with the

proposed amendments and want English to be used as the only medium of instruction in the institution’s academic activities.

The Students Uprising Movement at Tuks (#UPrising) leader, Mthokozisi Lukhele, said the arrests would not intimidate them, but strengthen their cause to fight further until there was only one medium of instruction at the university.

“The University of Pretoria students know very well that when they stand together and unite, we shall stand still. We still maintain that the university will have only one language of instruction, Afrikaans or Sepedi will not form part of tutorials. We want only one language of instruction which is English, we would not be at this position if the university management implemented last year’s students memorandum.

“We maintain that we will fight a good fight and a black child will not be undermined again,” said Lukhele.

So just because you don't like them, you won't engage them when they ask questions or try to have a debate with you?...

Even more of a petulant little child type response if you were to ask me.
