Pretoria - Higher Education and Training Minister Dr Blade Nzimande has called on the police to find the criminals behind the destruction of university property.
The main examination hall at the University of KwaZulu-Natal's Pietermaritzburg campus and a truck belonging to the University of Zululand were torched this week.
“There can never be a rational justification for the destruction of assets that we need to empower the next generation, so that they can play their full role in building the South African economy,” Minister Nzimande said in a statement on Wednesday
He also called on police, prosecutors and other responsible State institutions to “track down this criminal minority and put an end to their barbaric behaviour”.
“Communities, parents, students and staff must also mobilise to protect the country’s learning and teaching facilities,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za
