Drummies Entertain Crowds

Ntokozo Mahlangu

TUT drummies 2011 were extravagant, nothing less than spectacular as the performers at the the event entertained crowds who filled the Pavilion at Pretoria West campus to its capacity last night, yes! It was the drummies.

First year students dazzled the spectators and adjudicators with their perfectly rehearsed acts to scoop the overall achievement, and Minjonet did just that. They scooped two trophies for the overall performance and ladies category. Minjonet stole the hearts of the crowd and judges with their “Shebeen kings and queens under church garments” theme.

SASCO & Education Students Interrupting Lectures at TUT

SASCO says its intensifying its protest tomorrow.

The South African Student Congress (SASCO) and Education students have just interrupted lectures at the Tshwane Univerity of Technology’s Soshanguve North campus saying they are protesting for free education.

The protest march was planned earlier in the week when the student organisation, whose mother body is South Africa’s ruling African National Congress, announced at a meeting that they will not only interrupt lectures but will embark on a bigger march to the offices of the Minister of Higher Education, Dr Blade Nzimande, on Friday.

The South African Student Congress (SASCO) has announced that it is planning a protest march for all Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) campuses on Thursday.

The body's General Secretary, Lazola Ndemaze, told students at the university’s Soshanguve North campus on Wednesday that his organisation is unhappy with the newly introduced campus bus fares, computers without adequate internet access and rejection of students by the residence administration.

Ndemaze exaggerated in his statement pleading with students to boycott lectures. “Students we are not mobilising you for nothing. TUT North campus has 20 computers used by 2000 students,” he told the crowd.
