College students, parents present memo to president's office

THE plight of students at the troubled Port Elizabeth College finally got the attention of the highest office in the country yesterday.

And presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj promised a memorandum he had received from students and parents on behalf of President Jacob Zuma would be studied to "find a way forward" in the long crisis.

Students, accompanied by their parents, marched on the City Hall yesterday morning to present the memorandum to Maharaj, who was in town with Zuma. - Zandile Mbabela
