Armed police escorted students from a Swaziland
college off the campus after they complained about the quality of their food.
Now, the Swaziland College of Technology (SCOT) has
been closed indefinitely after a class boycott.
The Swazi
Observer reported on Wednesday (27 September 2017) that students vandalised
property. The students had entered the kitchen at breakfast time as part of a
protest.
The newspaper said the main grievance of the students was
shrinking food portions at meal times and unpaid allowances.
The Times of Swaziland reported,
‘According to students who spoke on condition of anonymity, it all started
during breakfast when they were told that there was no more milk for their soft
porridge.
‘Other reported irregularities are said to be that some students were
served eggs as protein during lunch while others were dished meat.
‘They said this had been going on for some time and when they enquired
from the college authorities about the matter, they were told that the
institution had no money.’
