Angry Tshwane North College students burnt down four mobile classes last Friday, in their Soshanguve Campus in Block L. Their reasons are they did not recieve their meal cards from the National Students Financila Aid Scheme (NSFAS)
Students started the strike early Friday morning with concerns that the TNC management does not want to give them their meal cards.“We want the college to give us our money for food from NFSAS because we know that money is with management,” said student Boetman Mabasa.
Shuma Lucky said “We burnt the mobile classes because we want to show them that we are serious and hungry." The students showed no signs of remorse for damage of property despite their outcry being heard by management as they quickly responded by giving them their food allowance cards.
“We had been questioning this matter for the past three months that is why we do not regret of burning the mobile classes,” said SRC President Mulo Khimono.Former SRC President Jabulani Ntlemo said they have received their food allowance cards but are not yet activated. The College’s management Fannie Maila said “Meal cards will be activated within 72 hours working hours.”
Students who also live outside the campus are going to benefit from this aid, they will get R500.00 per month as well. “I am delighted because my parents buy me food monthly so I have to think what to do with it because I live outside Block L.” said Sipho Hlungwani. So far the situation has settled and students are back in class.
