STRIKES!!

Today was not such a pleasant day for our university community! The happenings on campus were a perfect example of inappropriate behaviour of a community...
 
I find it really sad that things have to be dealt with in such a violent way at our university. What I also do not understand is that these strikes are nothing new and happen every year, so why are no adjustments made in the required areas which are the cause of such unhappiness?! It leaves behind a sour taste in the mouths of those that were affected by today’s uproar.
To me it sometimes seems as if there is a little more to the ordeal than we are being told or know. Like Chantal would say, it is vitally important that we examine the ‘source’ of the problem. I personally believe that the root of the problem has not been resolved which is why no correct solution has been found.  
 
Sometimes I think, it is so easy to point out the mismanagement in other communities that we do not see or work the malfunctioning elements in our own.

 
As the world community develops in peace, it will open up great untapped reservoirs in human nature.

  1. True. Have you had a chat with Simiso about the SRC and how it functions? He can give you a lot of insight into the processes, student grievances and how requests are handled.
