Pupils march to demand university in Rustenburg | IOL News

RUSTENBURG - Hundreds of pupils marched through the streets of Rustenburg on Friday, demanding that a university be built in the platinum-rich city.

They were joined by members of the SA Student Congress - which coordinated the march - the Young Communist League and the African National Congress Youth League . "If you can check the number of young people studying at the North West University in Mahikeng, the number of those from Bojanala are less compared to those who are from Mahikeng and surrounding areas. It is not that young people in Bojanala do not want to go to university. They want a university that can complement the economy of the region. We want a university that can train you to change chrome into a usable substance," said Tsotetsi.

In a memorandum addressed to the department of higher education and training , the youth representatives said the current available public institutions were not adequate to accommodate the needs of potential students in the region.

So they can burn it, what a joke

And thn you going to mess that university up too. Looking fr more places to protest and break down mm
