Angry students and employees at the Central Johannesburg College's Alexandra campus in Johannesburg have vowed to continue protesting until their demands are met.
On Monday‚ protesters blockaded streets outside the campus demanding that management address their demands.
They claimed that some students had not received their results and yet were expected to register for this year. SRC chairman Makana Masithi accused the management of ignoring the plights of Alexandra residents.
“The management gave us no reason why they are moving N4 to N6 courses to our Ellis Park campus. How do they expect students to travel to Ellis Park? Students were supposed to have registered last week but they can't because many have not received their last year results because of poor management in this campus‚” he said.
Cosas regional chairwoman in Johannesburg Thembeni Manana blamed a lack of resources on management.
Manana said the situation in the campus was deteriorating daily and that if things were allowed to continue‚ the campus would shutdown totally.
Employees complained about a lack of resources and some lecturers were forced to bring their own cars to teach students.
Vehicle engines for mechanical students were old and not functioning and N1 to N6 students are forced to use one engine.
They claimed that there was no toilet paper or protective gear‚ the yard was not maintained and windows and doors were broken. They also complained about old furniture‚ as well as a lack of machinery‚ computers‚ safety kits‚ fire extinguishers.
