LIMKOKWING University of Creative Technology (LUCT) on Tuesday suspended classes for a day due to students’ strike.

The university’s Rector Moroka Hoohlo confirmed that the students boycotted classes earlier on Tuesday after they failed to receive their allowances from the National Manpower Development Secretariat (NMDS).
He said the striking students however, did not damage the institution’s property during their demonstration.

“We nonetheless decided to suspend classes until tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, to ensure the safety of other students and staff,” Mr Hoohlo also said, adding police were called to stop the disorder that ensued.

He appealed to the students to urgently return to classes, reminding them that there will always be delays in payments of stipends following the new intakes.
