Univen students gathering to discuss strike  

Yesterday 27 April 2017, students at university of Venda took out their anger against the Management 
demanding NSFAS food pocket. Since the year began the students had been suffering, mostly students who depend on NSFAS for survival within the institution. The situation escalated further to a point where other students had to sleep without having put food on their month, while some students getting themselves and their parents in debts in order to buy food for their sustainability.

The situation of NSFAS led to students breaking up the issue of outsourcing within the institution, the students began calling for adoption of in-sourcing to cater and benefit the residents of Venda as a whole. 
The police are busy firing rubber bullet and tear gas trying to disperse the students, but it seems like the students really know what they are fighting for since they keeps on perpetuating and fighting back at police officers.

FACTS BOX

• Excellent service delivery by the government in the universities (public) can reduce strikes 
• In-sourcing must be prioritize by the institutions of higher learning 
• NSFAS must grant all deserving students the same amount of food pocket 
• The institutional properties should not be vandalize because of strikes
• Communities should not suffer victimization caused by students demanding academics needs
• The institution should be seen as a benefit to the community where the university is based
