Melon Radebe
The Congress of the People says it is sympathetic
to the difficulties of the university students facing steep fee increases next
year.
COPE spokesperson Dennis Bloem says, the
constitution guarantees everyone, students included, the right to protest
peacefully.
“’We are of the opinion the minister of Higher
Education Blade Nzimande must take responsibility of what is happening at the
university.” Bloem said.
He also added young people who come from poor homes
need the support of government and private institutions to realise their
academic dreams.
