The Congress of South African Trade Union in the Northern Cape said it is concerned about reports of accommodation crisis at the Northern Cape Urban FET College in Kimberly. 

Provincial Secretary of Cosatu Anele Gxoyiya said this issue of accommodation shows the lack of planning and high levels of disorganization by the institution.

Gxoyiya said the college must now have alternative agreements in the meantime while issues of accommodation are being sorted out.  It is unacceptable to have people who have come to pursue an education sleeping at petrol station like homeless people.

“These learners left the comfort of their own homes to follow their dreams and now they have to face the challenge of accommodation is not right” Gxoyiya added.
