Student leaders in KwaZulu-Natal aligned to the EFF have vowed to ensure that higher education institutions in the province respect the party’s national shutdown’ planned for Monday.
“The failures of Ramaphosa’s administration are also affecting us as students: petrol increases mean an increase in food prices and since the majority of students are NSFAS [beneficiaries we are feeling the pinch. Our membership as the EFFSC are also affected by load-shedding. That’s why we are fully behind the shutdown,” he said.
Mnikwa said the University of KwaZulu-Natal , whose SRC is led by the EFFSC, was among the tertiary institutions that had confirmed they would be closed. “The university is releasing communiques updating us about power outages so we really need to confront the administration of Cyril Ramaphosa and call for an end to load-shedding.”
“Firstly, the shutdown will be national so people who will be coming to work will be affected and no buses will be traveling to and from residences, so opening campuses would be pointless because nothing will be happening. The entire Durban will be at a standstill,” he said. He said they would do a final mobilisation on Friday from Botha Park in Durban, where they would lobby other political organisations and religious bodies that are not affiliated woth the EFF to join them.
