UFS students decide on plan of action for rest of week─── EARL COETZEE 16:11 Tue, 20 Sep 2016
Bloemfontein - Students from the University of the Free State have decided on an aggressive plan of action, to force government to submit to their demands for free higher education.
Following a meeting on the Bloemfontein campus of the UFS this afternoon, students hope to engage UFS management and demand that all disciplinary action against those involved in protest action earlier this year be immediately halted. They also want the university to refrain from announcing any fee increases until the Commission for Higher Education and Training has completed its report into tertiary education in November.
According to Tumelo Rapitsi, Sasco UFS branch chairperson, students are no longer concerned only with fee increases but demand free education.
Students say they will shut down campus indefinitely if their demands are not met.
