Students at universities across the country protested and disrupted classes on Monday amidst an ongoing student housing crisis. Universities are unable to provide enough housing for all students in need. Humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers is assisting students at several campuses in the Western Cape, including CPUT and UWC, with blankets and hot meals saying that a humanitarian crisis is brewing. Bongi Gwala was joined by Dr. Phethiwe Matutu, CEO of Universities South Africa, Freeman Nomvalo, NSFAS administrator, Ali Sablay, project manager of Gift of the Givers and Hendrick Makaneta from the Foundation of Education and Social Justice.
