Support the students

We, as South African graduates of different ages, hereby express our understanding of the issues raised by the students of 2015. We respect and highly encourage you to never give up the fight. As the students of 2015 you are our children and it pains us to know that our children are going through the same pain we went through when we were struggling to pay fees and cover our living expenses at the tertiary institutions.

 

We therefore call on all the graduates of our land to reconnect with their institutions and actively participate in the Alumni activities of their institutions and support the students. At the centre of this call is the need for all the Graduates to help the students as best as possible as they continue the fight towards Free and Effective Education for all as declared in the Freedom Charter and from the many resolutions by the African National Congress. We stand by you and say continue to fight and never give up.

To contribute in the resolution of these challenges we call on those who can afford to pay back the loans from institutions such as NFSAS. It is the right thing to do.

As Graduates and your parents we will also work at ensuring that there is a bridge between the academic world and industry, making sure that when you graduate you are exposed to industry and empowered to be active participants in the economy of our country. We will engage using all different platforms to support you as we evolve and grow as a country.

 

Aluta Continua to the Students of 2015!!! Never Give up until we have true free and effective education to all the deserving children of South Africa.
