Frustrated DUT students demand that lectures resume immediately
Frustrated Durban University of Technology (DUT) students demanded on Wednesday that the institution resume its academic programme. Controversial Fees Must Fall activist Bonginkosi Khanyile told TimesLive that he and other student leaders had "mobilised" students to voice their concern over the indefinite suspension of lectures. "All students have united to tell management that we want to start lectures." On Friday more than 21,000 students learnt they would have to sit at home because the academic programme had been put on hold indefinitely‚ following a six-week impasse over proposed staff salary increases for 2018.
