DA condemns escalating thuggery and violence on campuses
13 October 2016
The Democratic Alliance strongly condemns the escalating violence witnessed on University campuses across South Africa.
Over the last 24 hours, there has been violence at CPUT, VUT and UKZN. Several people have been injured as a result, and some property destroyed.
The deplorable conduct by a small group of individuals is a slap in the face of those who face real concerns over higher education funding.
If anything, it is the natural end-point of an unconstitutional and undemocratic campaign to shut-down universities using every means possible.
