URBAN University of Technology students from Riverside Campus and Indumiso Campus brought the Indumiso campus to a standstill on Tuesday as they protested for an increase in meal and book allowance money which they obtain from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The students demand that their book allowance be increased to R7 000. They currently receive a meal allowance of R1 600 per month and a book allowance for R1 000 per semester, which they say is inadequate.
