Blade must prioritise university funding or get ready to fall
27 October 2015
For too long, Minister Nzimande and the ANC Government have ducked any responsibility for the crisis suffered by mostly poor students nationwide. Whenever the legitimate anger of students reared its head, The ANC lackeys, SASCO, hastily turned it away from the government and towards Universities. It is no wonder the blunt Minister’s reaction to student led protests is, crisis, what crisis?
We have yearly seen protests with much longer shutdowns. Last year during one such shutdown, the DA staged an all night sit-in outside the your offices, Minister, we then continued to warn you about the crisis snowballing and challenged you to commit that no poor student will be excluded. You laughed in response. Again this year , again you laughed.
Now as students finally ask Iphi Blade and chanting #BladeMustFall, yet again you laughed cruelly chuckling #StudentsMustFall.
You and your governments’ day of reckoning has come yet you remain oblivious like a frog in a pot of boiling water.
