Forward with the chimurenga forward! Forward with the revolutionary legacy of the Upright Man forward! Harbingers of the new world order, forces of change, fellow students and general populace recieve once again our revolutionary academic greetings: Izwe Lethu! IAfrika! Bare with us as we narrate the state of the campus From just our mobilization with you, here are brief flaming matters that were reported: 1. Walk-ins The institutional management has imposed a strong systematic change: that from next year there shall be no walk-ins admitted or applying. All potential students must apply this year. Notwithstanding the ramifications and implication of the above, PASMA wishes to encourage compliance in this issue - that all 2015-to-be students must apply now. 2. NSFAS 2015 new student applicants All 2015 new applicants must apply for NSFAS before the closing date of 30 Nov 2014, as there will be no other chance to submit next year. 3. FEE INCREAMENT PASMA denounces and rejects all forms of commidificational elitization of our education, therefore we remain strongly opposed to any fee increament; we propose a 3.5% fee decreament, period! 4. Supplementary exams. We are agitated by the charterism and surplus accumulation imposed to our students. As from next year all students whom shall be writting their supplementary exams will not be allowed access to campus premices till 3 days prior the exam date. Note very well, that these students are forced to pay R50 each day/night they spend in campus residences. So any students who wishes to prepare for the supplementary exams within the campus residences is said to pop out R50 proof of payments/per day/night. Ofcourse, PASMA rejects such exploitation and will fight tooth and nail to reverse such from materializing. 4. Access to education No one will be allowed to enter the school territory for access education, unless one forms part of the delegated 15 members of his/her structure to represent the latter in the access to education campaign. So says the management. Again we remain opposed to such and views it as the worst form of hegemonous capital classism: the divide and conqure technique, which seeks to de-attach student leadership from it constituency. We demand an equal treatment, period! 5. UNSIGNED STUDENTS We are still exhausting all avenues for the pending unsigned students. However the reality is that the situation is extremely bad. 6. R1000 FOOD ALLOWANCE Ofcourse PASMA welcomes this increase, provided that DHET injects an amount of R700m to stabilize the financially squabbled institution. Otherwise if that is not the case then the increase adds salt in the sore. Here are basic mathethics and proportionality on this matter: On R600 food allowance - out of 10 students only 6 manage to benefit (10:6 proportionality) On R1000 food allowance - out of 10, only 3 will benefi (10:3). Deduce your own conclusion then. Lastly, we urge all students to submit their returning forms before a closing date. PHATHA PASMA PHATHA!
