The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa has strongly condemned the shooting of nursing students at the Mmabatho Nursing Colege in North West.

This follows after students at the college embarked on a protest to voice their demands.

Amongst the demands, students want housing allowances to be made available to all students as well proper personnel to cook for them.

DENOSA’s North West Provincial Organiser Wayne Ntshabele says they are further dismayed that four students have been injured after being shot by police and a further eight have been arrested for alleged public violence.

Ntshabele says they want to emphasise that none of the demonstrating students embarked on any public violence.
