A university spokesperson says physical disruptions will not be tolerated and NMU has a duty to protect the rights of staff, students, and all other stakeholders.
Nelson Mandela University students blocked the entrances at the South and North Campus on Thursday, the second day of a protest mainly over funding and registration.
The NMU said lectures on Thursday were postponed until further notice, urging students and staff to continue with their work off campus. Mbabela said physical disruptions would not be tolerated and NMU had a duty to protect the rights of staff, students, and all other stakeholders. Mbabela said a working group had been established last year comprising university management and student leaders with the aim of pre-empting perennial start-of-the-year challenges and putting measures in place to mitigate them as far as possible.
