The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) students from the New Market Junction (student housing centre) protested on Friday for connectivity glitches.
South Point released a statement on Monday condemning the protest
behaviour by CPUT students at the New Market Junction, which has negatively
impacted on the safe and peaceful living of the residents around Woodstock
district.
“SouthPoint’s IT team was on site at NewMarket Junction on Wednesday, 21
October, to assist students with connectivity issues after rebooting the
system’s update authentication. Protests began on that day with students
demanding free uncapped Wi-Fi, ultimately resulting in the building’s
close-down by Friday, 23 October with SouthPoint staff (including its IT team)
and security being removed from the premises” statement said.
Students were burning tyres and throwing litter in the middle of the
road because they want their frustrations to be attended to.
Unfortunately the Bush Radio News team were not permitted to speak to
the protesters.
In the statement it is said that the issues stayed unresolved with the parties
planned to have a subsequent meeting later on Monday.
