The nationwide shutdown at 26 universities and colleges, which was pronounced by the SA Union of Students (SAUS) on Sunday, has seen a number of student protests across the country.
Student leaders are demanding that the Department of Higher Education and Training, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), Finance Ministry, and universities should clear studentsâ historical debt, fund post graduate studies and implement free education.
