I wouldn't want my education to be on halt or postponed not knowing when the protests will come to an end.
Guest#477 Sep 28, 2016, 15:24
The students who want to study have the right to study
Guest#478 Sep 28, 2016, 15:30
I'm a proud alumni.

Because education is a right, free education isn't

Universities are there to provide future leaders in South Africa with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform the functions required by responsible qualified citizens of our country and not to train terrorist who are out to destroy property that is for the good of all.

#387: - Re: Re: Re: Safety of Staff & Students 

 You sound like the typical South African, complaining about circumstances but unprepared to create change where you are able. Instead of bad mouthing the decisions of Advocate Price, how about commending them? Someone had to get the ball rolling, thank goodness for someone like Advocate Price.

 

I am part of the "majority of students", WE THANK YOU ADVOCATE PRICE.

 

He gave us a voice and a leg to stand on instead of sitting around at home while our money for our university education is being flushed down the toilet by the minority.

 

NMMU has done nothing to try and disperse of the situation of protesting themselves. They need a kick in the ass and that is what this is for!

If you aren't FOR the cause, then get your ass off of the petition that is. Or at least show your identity so that people know the loud mouth behind words.

A minority group must not be allowed to prevent the majority from obtaining the education they are seeking and which they paid for. Moreover, the majority of NMMU can not be held liable for governments empty promises, which were made to further their own political agenda.

In conclusion, NMMU officials should have taken reasonable steps in preventing the protesting students from stopping academic activity, words and threats are not enough. Expulsion and an endorsement on their academic record was an option, since their conduct clearly violated NMMU's code of conduct. This, however, was not done, instead NMMU officials have allowed this infringement, which makes them just as guilty as the prostesting students.

I want to go back to class.

Feel it's a small criminal element that threatens the safety of other students. They need to be charged criminally, and banned from studying at any of SA's Universities for life.
Guest#486 Sep 28, 2016, 17:49
Its ridiculous that majority has to suffer at the hands of a few students who are using this crucial time to perform ... they should instead enrol and graduate in drama studies.
Guest#487 Sep 28, 2016, 17:53
Our son need to study next year. Build his future as athlete aswell as student. Iti is distuptive,unethical,undisiplined,bad up bringing to violate teachers,other students and parents lives financially as well as economically.

My children have the right to education. We will not pay any more varsity fees until varsity resumes
Guest#489 Sep 28, 2016, 18:02
Because the students that are working hard and WANT to learn should be able to!
Guest#490 Sep 28, 2016, 18:02
To end this nonsense
Guest#491 Sep 28, 2016, 18:10
I am a mother who pays my son's fees , nothing is for free. I have had enough of small groups of unreasoable adults setting the agenda. This sense of entitlement has gone too far. In this country we have a first world constitution but we have not learnt to or respect the right of others. Government must speak up boldly and clearly to stop these protests. These protesting students demand the right to protest and destroy yet forget or ignore the rights of others. They want it all now but fail to see how their demands and destructive behaviour will destroy not only their futures but that of others. How can tertiary education be free?
Guest#492 Sep 28, 2016, 18:12
Because i want study
Guest#493 Sep 28, 2016, 18:14
If I don't, my kids wont have a varsity to go to...
Guest#494 Sep 28, 2016, 18:23
I need to complete my studies!
Guest#495 Sep 28, 2016, 18:26
Those that are not striking also have the right to education
Guest#496 Sep 28, 2016, 18:52
Thank you for being our voice and taking a trance against this ridiculous bunch!
Guest#497 Sep 28, 2016, 18:54
It's important to me as my child is at NMMU and unable to attend lectures. He has no voice.
Guest#498 Sep 28, 2016, 18:56
My daughter is a student at NMMU, i would like her to finish the 2016 studies (that i paid in full and all the other expenses incurred)
Guest#499 Sep 28, 2016, 19:05
Having paid in full for my daughter's studies (plus accommodation and living expenses), we would like her to finish the year. We can't throw away that amount of money!
Guest#500 Sep 28, 2016, 19:06
My children is desperate to finish the year, for which we paid.
