A University of Fort Hare SRC leader is encouraging students to refrain from a planned national shutdown of 26 universities.
Of the 2
6 universities in South Africa, only 15 have joined the shutdown so far.
But the SRC's president, Siphiwo Ngcenge, has pledged solidarity with the SA Union of Students.
A University of Fort Hare (UFH) student representative council leader has encouraged its students to boycott the national shutdown of 26 universities, saying that "prestigious institutions like Wits and UCT" have not supported Eastern Cape universities.
This comes as several universities across the country heed a nationwide call from the SA Union of Students (SAUS) to shut down all campuses as part of protests over student funding.
