Academic activities resume at University of Venda

Academic activities have resumed at the University of Venda after student protests that started four weeks ago.

Students were demanding NSFAS allowances to cover the cost of food, off-campus living and transport fees.

Students have mixed feelings about the end of the boycott.

One student says: “I feel good and I feel great because we are back in classes and most of the students received their allowances.”

Another student had this to say: “I can not say I feel good because as a poor black student I depend on my allowance and I haven’t received it but other students have already received theirs.”
