Student bodies across the country are calling for the continued national shutdown of tertiary institutions

Student bodies across the country are calling for the continued national shutdown of tertiary institutions as a result of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme's failure to fund first year students and the financial exclusion of students with historic debt. The protests started last week, and students say they'll continue taking to the streets until their demands are met. They also want to meet Higher Education Minister, Blade Ndzimande.
