EFF Student Command is threatening to shut down universities

The EFF Student Command is threatening to shut down universities if they refuse to accept walk-in applications.
It also wants free registration for students who failed the 2018 academic year.
Numerous institutions are encouraging prospective students to rather apply online.
Most universities have received scores of applications that far outstrip their capacity.

[@mapitsomaloma5624]

[@lucylocket7866]

What is wrong with this government? They hav had 25years to build more universities and hav hopelessly failed in accommodating the incredible explosion of the South African population!!!! The current universities are filled to capacity?? Unbelievable!!!!!

[@keigh-otic8034]

lucy locket this government is hopeless.. they build nothing ever since they took power.. whether is cities or universities

[@rakobelirakobeli368]

Student Command is very clear I support them as poor student with unreasonable cash R 15 000

[@judgingyou6456]

Nothing is free in life. You work hard to get a student loan but it looks like you people just want everything for free.

[@1908-u6t]

Shaun merkop stop using that word you are hunting our feelings I'm sure you don't understand how hard it feels to accept that

[@rakobelirakobeli368]

@Mike Sherman lol look who is talking a pink pig that has arrogance

[@tulifranz9336]

The dialogue should continue, please do not shut down all the universities.

[@philamarshal7086]

he's 100 percent right, constitution include free education, the ANC fail to do so that why EFF come up with this issue

[@judgingyou6456]

Nothing is free in life...study hard to get a student loan that you can pay off later.

[@tieniehospitaal2073]

I could not go to university because my parents could not afford the fees. Wat make these blacks more deserving their skin color

[@wayneross-kent8534]

Very clever.

[@judgingyou6456]

Then where is the universities going to get the funds to keep it going and pay the professors.

[@drew5834]

But if the universities are @ full capacity are they supposed to give lectures out doors? Is it the universities that build new universities or is it Govt? Scrap reg fees that's ok, but if you fail matric you can't get a spot in university against someone who passed.

[@andreswanepoel4002]

Bring the 65% pass rate in and you wont have this proplem

[@njala3038]

The country is already under so much stress. So breaking the camel's back is the next goal. Sad.

[@sfisosimelane8315]

Why universities canceled evening classes, double the capacity by running even classes

[@tloujonasngoetjana712]

Having gone through the challenges of studying at a University , support the EFFSC. These registration fees are ways of excluding students , especially black students from the door of learning. If we are indeed serious in addressing the economic inequalities in SA , we must ensure that the previously disadvantaged get access to education.

[@patrickfizzo918]

Solomon Mahlangu is surely proud of the agenda carried forward by Afrikan youth.

[@Vincent-dc6zd]

I honestly don't care about white or black, all I care about is whether or not we're going to get a job once we're done with our tertiary studies, because right now things aren't looking so good, and the unemployment rate keeps going up. Think about your families before you start going and picking fights. If all goes well, then hooray. But if this backfires in our face, then only God can save us. At this point it seems like people around the world are laughing at South Africans (mostly black) for what's happening in our country.

[@tieniehospitaal2073]

The country needs all is efforts in creating new engineering/manufacturing industries. Its no use giving free houses, education, medical but you fail on the job creation. We whites cab go it allone we do not need goverment. In 1994 industry delivered 33% of gdp with the anc rubbish we have lost 75% of this capacity and now only 8% of gdp. And you keep these mother fucking thieving rubbish in pover. Enough is enough we will get our freedom or this country will die.

[@lovemidou9619]

You're clearly crazy we in the America diaspora are very please with what's going in South Africa a d you said we're laughing at them. Black against black are the worst among all crimes.

[@noone-zm2rl]

Just a nather black fly that just wand wand wand ai poor him if you wane go to study just remember it's not for FREE

[@abudada5329]

EFF must build universities and let the students enroll for free and see how long it lasts prove to South Africans that it can work

[@hulisaniscott6582]

Your working for the devil ...we see you .learn to chill if your privileged most of us are poor

[@cbucicocimama9517]

Vote for eff they will build universities

[@maaptutors166]

[@badster8180]

And it is now 9 months later ... and the world carried on. Tsk, tsk, tsk ...

[@sihlengidi8373]

MY PRESIDENT , The EFF continues to give us informed young leaders who understand the struggle of a young African child thirsty for EDUCATION , excluded or discarded by a system made to to oppress and ensure that the BLACK majority of our people remain uneducated, so they can continue to exploit our land through the cheap and free labour of a black man. For these reasons ALUTA CONTINUA

[@tloujonasngoetjana712]

This has been my call concern. Registration fees are a means to exclude poor students access to higher education. I support you wholeheartedly.

[@henniemudau2180]

Viva EFF Viva ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@guguonpoint8668]

Try your best Africa and shut down this oppressive system create to make only the few ok ,while the rest suffer.

[@thabomonethi7426]

We are willing to contribute to NSFAS as citizens, and lot of previous beneficiaries are also willing to help. However, government refuses to put proper systems in place to facilitate the process. Yet as its the same politician asking where is the money going to come from. Stop stifling NSFAS as it is at the core of changing the odds for the poor within the UNIVERSITIES. Maybe a Shut down will do.

[@massthedifference]

Power to the People!!!

[@allnewcars5643]

I've never seen a white person in a rural area (only us blacks). There are many rural areas across the country, which means we are the ones who're struggling. This happened in 1994 when white people remained on their fancy houses and good environment while we're far away and our issues are not attended to, so now we're coming back for what ours. If you take a look now black people are really studying hard and there is a high number of black people across many SA institutions. Where we come from (rural areas), there are no real opportunities to do something else other than a school like, surfing, singing, soccer etc, to be successful. The only choice is education, then after passing matric we face these challenges

[@mikaeelmoodley5067]

Everything free free free for blacks while other race groups must work hard or earn extremely high marks to to get bursaries.... this is wat happends when u let these kind of ppl into higher institutions...total disruption

[@leratoshasha08]

very clear

[@normanmolatelo911]

MALEMA will become another Joseph koni n dis guys dey don't want to study leave those who want to study to do so

[@siyamateta7521]

Vote EFF 2019

[@CA-ul6qb]

JUST LISTEN TO THIS MUPPET FROM EFF ... NO BRAINS ,LITTLE IQ

[@djshashit5807]

🙄

[@siqhamomatho8287]

You the one with no brains chief you know nothing about struggling to access education.. I even doubt that you have ever seen a university

[@maryduplessis2510]

Marala? Obviously black but it seems not black enough for EFF and I am assuming it is because he follows the rules of the University. Once again, full of racial hatred and using the race card.

[@rendanindou3593]

Bring them down shut them who will suffer
