“As the SRC and the students we are not satisfied because we feel like by now, there’s supposed to be a lead as to who did this and the motive as to why. Because it’s really putting us in a compromising position. Because it is very hard for us to comment on this issue because we don’t know what was the motive behind the assassination of the VC. So we want the perpetrator to be arrested and we want the motive, why did he do what he did.
myanc photo “op”portunists. Nothing sincere or good they’re doing here. Fake platitudes.
Poor governance. The safety of citizens falls under Bheki Cele, and through existing command and control structures, education institutions must be be safe. Task force will not only fail but will also waste money.
