TUT shutdown continues at all 9 campuses amid student protests
5 March 2019
Tshwane University of Technology campuses across the country will remain closed as students continue their protest.
All nine campuses – Arcadia, Arts, Pretoria West, Ga-Rankuwa, Soshanguve North and South, eMalahleni, Mbombela and Polokwane – were closed by the university until further notice on Monday.
Protesting students are demanding a meal allowance from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, particularly for students residing off-campus, as well as more accommodation.
Police used stun grenades to disperse angry students who had marched to the office of Higher Education Minister Naledi Pandor in Pretoria.
