Total shutdown at CPUT

It is racism to think that a white Frenchman is more worthy of life. And condemnati­on is the acknowledg­ement of guilt by associatio­n. I’m guilty because a Muslim committed the crime. What utter rubbish is this? To hell with condemnati­on. Did the French apologise for the deaths of nearly a million Algerians in their war of independen­ce? Did the Americans apologise for the deaths of 3 million Indo-Chinese? I am sick and tired of seeing our spineless so-called Muslim leaders condemning this act of terror and that act of terror without seeing it in its rightful context. The context is an ongoing imperialis­t and neo-colonial domination of the world by various powers. – Naushad Omar, Tulbagh Michael Ernest Meder: This is just wilful vandalism perpetrate­d by a minority group who, now that their other demands have been met, have got no other constructi­ve issues to moan about and so they embark on wilful destructio­n. Unless the university authoritie­s take drastic action, these perpetrato­rs will have achieved their own agenda to the detriment of the majority group.

If they can’t behave they should not be there. Kick them out. Zeez Bernie Osman: Is this really necessary? Who pays for the repairs? Carmen Saunders: “Only a few students took the university hostage and wants to make it ungovernab­le”… Seriously people, we are allowing a few students to determine the future of our “children”. We are giving too much power to these undiscipli­ned students. Let’s ask what we as the majority can do to put a stop to this.
