The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has appealed for calm after a week of student protests, mainly at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

Unrest broke out at the university on Monday when students protested about financial exclusion and other funding issues.

It is said that students are required to pay 15% of their historical debt before they can register for the 2020 academic year. “We understand that almost 70% of students from impoverished families cannot accumulate the 15% of outstanding fees required by the university in order to be eligible to register.

“We wish to urge the university to speedily come up with a solution that will enable the poor students to register as we believe this could prevent further destruction at the university,” said the ANC.Would you like to comment on this article or view other readers' comments?
