The ANC-aligned SA Student Congress (Sasco) has demanded that ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa see to it that the ANC-led government establishes a “student bank”.

Sasco also demanded a “speedy” appointment of the NSFAS board and speedy delivery of laptops to all disadvantaged students, said Matiwane, who spoke before Ramaphosa's keynote address.

According to Matiwane, Sasco was also demanding that Ramaphosa's government introduce a “24-hour economy” to stimulate consumer demand and creation of jobs. Matiwane said Sasco also wanted to see the “immediate appointment of a NYDA board that is pro-poor and working class”. Matiwane said: “Comrade president, we know that you do not have a police station and handcuffs at your house.

But we are saying we demand immediate arrest of all those who are stealing from the masses of our people and the poor. “They must be arrested regardless of whatever national position they occupy before it is too late. We need to renew the ANC.”
