The Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande made a near controversial statement on 21 October in Cape Town.
Before a press briefing ENCA captured Nzimande casually saying, “If students don’t accept this, we will start our own movement, ‘studentsmustfall’.” He then proceeded to laugh at himself.
Public opinion has been sparked by his comment:
