Students of the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, South Africa, held a vigil last night protesting the university’s outsourcing policy.
The students refer to themselves as the “Outsourcing Must Fall” movement and are calling for the university to permanently employ its workers and pay them a basic salary of R10,000.
The protests follows decision made by the University of Pretoria and the University of South Africa (Unisa) to insource contract workers in the coming years.
