NATIONAL NEWS - Western Cape premier Helen Zille has slammed a “militant minority” she says are active in university protests and called for a police presence on campuses to protect law-abiding students.
“The current militant minority keeps on shifting the goalposts so the minute, for example, the universities solve X, they set the goalposts to Y and they keep on moving them because this is actually about far, far more than fees,” said Zille.
“There are people talking about decolonising the university. What do they actually mean? “How would you apply that to astrophysics, to medicine, to engineering and all of those sort of other things?”
Zille said the debate on fee-free university education was supposed to happen within the rule of law.
