PRETORIA – Government says it has noted with concern media reports that protesting students at the University of Stellenbosch have been injured after clashing with security on campus (see below).

Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) Acting Director-General Donald Liphoko on Friday echoed the Department of Higher Education and Training’s assurance that the matter of student fees is receiving full attention.

“Government is calling on all students and campus securities to reduce tensions on campus and allow an environment for dialogue around emerging solutions to the fees challenge,” said Liphoko.

Government has called on all South Africans, students at tertiary education institutions and parents to address their grievances within the confines of the law in the spirit of moving South Africa forward. – SAnews.gov.za
