The Democratic Alliance has called for the Minister of Police Nkosinathi Nhleko to intervene in the security issues at the North West FET Campus.
The DA says the Matlosana
Centre for Artisans and Learnership in the province is under constant and
immediate threat by armed gangs of illegal miners making it impossible for
students and staff to work there.
DA MP of Higher Education and Training
Professor Belinda Bozzoli said in
the immediate term a substantial police presence must be urgently provided,
both to protect the campus, its staff and its students, and to rid the area of
the criminal gangs that now control it.
“In
the longer term, the DA believes that the Department of Higher Education and Training
has no alternative but to provide the Centre with alternative accommodation and
to move the expensive equipment into a safer venue Bozzoli added.
