The dean of students, Dr Paul Maminza, says that management held several meetings with the student representatives last week.

“We managed to address most of their issues, and we explained some of the things to them.  They raised 13 concerns and we addressed almost all of them except four, which we were supposed to address on Friday,” he explained.

Wandile Shabangu, CRC chairperson in Mbombela campus and SRC treasurer, said that the students took the situation to the next level because they realised that management is not taking them seriously.
“Our issues have not changed and we still want them to address the things we raised last week,”he said.
