26 January 2017
Cape Town - The EFF and individuals on Rustenburg's platinum belt are contributing to the Fees Must Fall student protests to push their own political agenda, Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande said on Thursday.
"There are those who have identified student protests as part of their agenda to disrupt government," said Nzimande at a briefing on the department's state of readiness for 2017.
Asked to elaborate, he said: "Some are political organisations like the [EFF]... Others are some ultra-left expatriate academics who seem to be experimenting.
"Some in the platinum belt in Rustenburg that were identified as common denominators."
