The survivalist group Kommandokorps has warned Afrikaans-speaking students at the university that their language and culture is at stake.
Management of the University of Pretoria are to meet student leaders on Monday afternoon to try resolve the impasse over the future of the university’s Mamelodi campus, vice-chancellor Calie Pistorius said. Students have damaged property in protests against the announcement, at the end of last month, that the university planned to phase out undergraduate programmes at the campus.
The University of Pretoria’s management and the Pan Africanist Movement of Azania refused to budge from their respective positions on Friday. The student body said they would continue with their protest, while management said it would not reopen the campus unless violent protests came to end.
