The Durban University of Technologys DUT student representative council SRC has urged students to remain calm as the university works to resolve delays in the payment of NSFAS allowances.
The unrest at the Durban and Midlands campuses this week followed concerns about the disbursement of learning material and meal allowances.
The SRC said most of its constituency relies heavily on NSFAS funding, describing beneficiaries as direct dependents of the race of labourers, those whose entire being is that of living by hand to mouth.
