Nzimande to address student protests on social media next week

After a week of violent protests at several universities across the country, Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande's spokesperson said the minister would address students' issues on social media next Monday. 

Nzimande has not issued any statements or addressed students during the violent protests at the University of Pretoria, University of the Free State and the North West University.

News24 phoned Nzimande's spokesperson Khaye Nkwanyana on Friday to inquire about the minister's whereabouts and plan of action following the protests which left some students injured, others detained and some university buildings destroyed.

"He will answer all of those issues on the Twitter session on Monday," Nkwanyana said.
