A minority group must not be allowed to prevent the majority from obtaining the education they are seeking and which they paid for. Moreover, the majority of NMMU can not be held liable for governments empty promises, which were made to further their own political agenda.

In conclusion, NMMU officials should have taken reasonable steps in preventing the protesting students from stopping academic activity, words and threats are not enough. Expulsion and an endorsement on their academic record was an option, since their conduct clearly violated NMMU's code of conduct. This, however, was not done, instead NMMU officials have allowed this infringement, which makes them just as guilty as the prostesting students.
