Young communists back protesting students

“The announcement of the task team in the Department of Higher Education and Training and the Presidency, to find solutions to the challenges of students funding, must be supported. This in itself is not a means to an end, but a means to a start of finding a solution to free higher education.”

The Higher Education multi-stakeholder Imbizo will be convened by President Jacob Zuma and Nzimande in Kempton Park today in an attempt to seek solutions from parents, students, business and labour to the current situation at higher education institutions.

“Students must raise their views without fear or favour and their interests must be cham- pioned without destroying property because universities are a heritage of students and universities belong to communities.”

Moncho, meanwhile, also urged Zuma to disband the board of the SABC which has continued to defend the interests of the former SABC chief operations officer (COO) Hlaudi Motsoeneng, who was appointed as group executive of corporate affairs in spite of a Supreme Court of Appeal upholding a ruling that his appointment was unlawful.

“This we view as deliberate efforts by the SABC to undermine our court of law and the concerned voice of reason that Motsoeneng is not the SABC and a law unto himself, and thus he (Motsoeneng) must vacate the SABC.”
