UPDATE: Shutdown on hold awaiting feedback
"Giyani shutdown is on hold for now". This is according to the chairperson of Giyani Concerned Residents (GCR), Vusi Chauke, who was instrumental in the shutdown last week Monday.
Chauke told the Herald that GCR together with the Greater Giyani Municipality (GGM) and the SAPS wrote a letter to the Office of the Minister of Higher Education, Blade Nzimande, and gave them ten working days to respond on why the establishment of the TUT Giyani Campus has not taken place as promised.

“If we don’t get a response within ten working days, we will reorganise and may go to the Office of the Minister to demonstrate or organise another shutdown. “It will be painful to residents and commuters to again go through a blockade, but we also want education,” Chauke told the Herald.
