PORT ELIZABETH - NMMU ADVISES ALL STAFF & STUDENTS TO STAY OFF CAMPUSES

Due to the national #Fees2017 student protests happening across South Africa and including NMMU, the university has issued the following statement via their website:

All staff and students at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) are advised to stay off all campuses, including George and Missionvale, today due to student protests in line with a national call to shut down all universities.

Essential services will continue, but all academic activities have been suspended for today. Essential services includes security, catering, cleaning, health-related services and key technical staff. Those staff and students who can work remotely are asked to do so. 

The University will keep you informed of unfolding events, and more especially of arrangements for tomorrow. The University management is meeting this morning to consider the implications of the ministerial statement on fees and will continue to engage with students in this regard.
