A university spokesperson says the safety of the students, staff, and TUT property on all campuses remains management’s first priority.

Academic programmes for students at all the Tshwane University of Technology’s campuses have been shut down until further notice.

Earlier this week, disgruntled students reportedly disrupted classes. They are demanding a meal allowance from the National Student Financial Scheme and more accommodation. De Ruyter said that the safety of the students, staff, and TUT property on all campuses remained management’s first priority. She said due to the volatility and unpredictability of the current situation, the university had no choice but to shut down academic activities for students, until further notice, in order to allow the situation to calm down.
