Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande has called on all tertiary institutions to immediately suspend all contact lecturers as the country deals with the Covid-19 pandemic.
“It cannot be that at this time of the month students are expected to book buses and flights home. It is an elist, anti-black move that affects more than it assists,” the SRC said in a statement. The University of Limpopo also announced on Monday that it had suspended its academic activities until further notice, and that students were expected to vacate residences by Tuesday afternoon.
Stellenbosch university has also suspended its academic activities until further notice. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga said she will formally give notice of the change of the school calendar. This is after Ramaphosa announced that schools will close on March 18, instead of March 20. The opening date was to have been March 31, but this has changed to April 14.
