TUT demands over fees

 

TUT students join Witsies with demands over fees

Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) students vow to continue protesting for the rest of the week until their grievances have been heard. They also sought flexibility. Yesterday, the entrance of the TUT was inaccessible as a group of students formed a human chain in front of the booms, barring anyone from entering the premises. TUT students were the latest to join Wits University students who started protesting last week and demanded the university allow those owing study debts of R150 000 or less to register for the academic year. They also demanded accommodation.

Protesting TUT students blocked the entrance of the university and burned tyres. A group of students who did not want to be named said they were waiting for transport on the street corner because they were not allowed to go to class.
