#2762016-09-27 21:16Me and my wife are teachers we have 2 Kids studying our so'n at nmmu . We are very proud of the university and the staff for the way they are developing our only son that we have in trusted to them for the nurturing of his first steps in adult life . We trust that they will manage this process swiftly and decicve. To the best for those that fall within the code of conduct of the institution towards achieving the goals that was set by the institution in safety. |

#2772016-09-27 21:17They should check whether the protestors are all students. Also let the students vote in stead of strike and burn buildings. |

#2782016-09-28 00:40My son is currently in his 3rd year, his marks is above average......I can see the frustration in his eyes, and so are a lot of students.....Please, get rid of those protesters, before someone takes this matter in his/her own hands. I am very dissapointed in NMMU !!! ( Why not take action, like Prime Minister, Hage Geingob, did in Namibië ??? ) |

#2792016-09-28 02:33I do not wish to get into a debate around this issue. I stand for affordable education and bursaries for those deserving. If poor, there should be some assistance from the state. What I am totallyagainst is the empty promises made by those inciting protests, and the violence and destructon which is occurring. Thsi is also a violation of rights. |

#2802016-09-28 03:18My son is second year BSC at NMMU and needs to get back to varsity. We have paid our fees is full for the year. Please lets get things baxk to normal. |
Guest |
#2812016-09-28 03:43I feel strongly that the academic year should be completed and classes should go on without any backlash on students who do not take part in these protests. |
Guest |
#2822016-09-28 03:56It is unacceptable behaviour to destroy and vandalise everything to get their own way. My own son is a student at NMMU and are not able to attend classes. Someone must take responsibility and action!! |

#2832016-09-28 04:01I am a teacher in a lower income bracket I have paid for my daughter in full . It is unfair that she is punished by a few who are not acting like students who want an education . What about those who have made the sacrifice and have paid ??? |
Guest |
#2852016-09-28 04:05I do not agree that the majority should be "punished" and forced to stay away from varsity. |
Guest |
#2862016-09-28 04:07Laws and court rulings seem to be ignored with little or no consequences by certain groups. The NMMU situation is just one more example of this trend that is destroying our country. |
Guest |
#2872016-09-28 04:12Because 1percent of students are messing with the lives of all the rest and if you want higher education pay for it |
Guest |
#2882016-09-28 04:15Please let the students who want to attend class do it without interference from students that dont.... |
Guest |
#2902016-09-28 04:27Because I am a student at NMMU and this is my final year. I had to work hard for my Diploma and had to pay for it with my own money which I was willing to do as this for my future and that of my family. |
Guest |
#2912016-09-28 04:30this is disrupting the current student year and making any years to come questionable. the vandalism causes further monies to be spent on repairing or rebuilding which could be the cause of fees to increase for all... yet its the minority that are causing chaos. |
Guest |
#2922016-09-28 04:33My daughter is a second year student at NMMU. I have had to take loans out to pay for her fees as we dont qualify for any bursaries. I cannot afford for this academic year to be lost. People in SA need to learn that protesting by destroying property and bringing everything to a standstill cannot be tolerated. If the protesters are given their way they will do it again. We cannot give in to this anarchy. |
Guest |
#2942016-09-28 04:40The seemingly disinterested attitude of the vice-chancellor with regards the rights of those who wish to study and the rights of us as parents who have paid the fees, needs to be addressed urgently |
Guest |
#2952016-09-28 04:44I believe it is ridiculous for NMMU and other universities to have to take this. The government is doing absolutely nothing to stop these thugs. |
Guest |
#2962016-09-28 04:44 I want to go to school,it's worthless to waste time on striking rather go back to school and wait for the way forward while we're attending classes |
Guest |
#2972016-09-28 05:00Let the willing non violent students complete their studies and drgrees...we need educaterd youngsters not hooligans into business and building our country. |
Guest |
#2982016-09-28 05:07The behaviour and uncontrolled movements of these protests is utterly disgracefull and really selfish! There is no true motive for these later acts. Others that are paying for there school fees, shouldn't be affected at all, they have the right for an education. |
Guest |
#2992016-09-28 05:11My son must finish last year, they are wasting our money and time! |
Guest |
#3002016-09-28 05:15Because its pathetic that asmall group of "people " can take away the right and abilitie to study further they dont deserve to be at university, its called higher education for a reason, not free education |
