Disadvantaged students and poor financial support from government.

Every time when political demagogue are on the podium addressing students, they always promise free education, particularly tertiary education, which is considered to be the area of concern. But in previous months students from various institutions  have demonstrated their unhappiness with the allocation of financial assistance . The very same demagogue are always in parliament, but they never bother to address this issue. What they master is nkandla issue, spy tapes and motion of confidence on speaker Mbete.
Even though this is not qualitatively or quantitatively proven, one does not need a microscope Or a methodology to see that our political leaders have more empty promises compared to promises they managed to achieve.  This is the same government which complain about increase in crime, prostitution, alcoholics and drug addicts, without thinking that they are an indirect inventors of this people, because what do you expect from a teenager after dropping out from varsity? . This article is to say to our government leaders keep  promises you made before 2014 elections to poor students.By: Martin malatjie,
