Higher Education National Convention cancelled─── 07:45 Sun, 19 Mar 2017
Higher Education Minister, Blade Nzimande (Gallo)
Johannesburg - The Higher Education National Convention in Midrand was cancelled after chaos erupted yesterday when students dressed in EFF regalia refused to give Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande an opportunity to speak.
Programme directors ordered everyone out of the plenary tent as chairs and water bottles were thrown around and students starting getting violent with each other.
Nzimande is believed to have left the venue after his security team escorted him out of the tent.
Earlier the programme was suspended when conveners consulted student leaders on the best way forward.
