Mxolisi Kaunda says the safety of students and staff is their main priority.
"There will be some elements of the Fees Must Fall, which will be highlighting the plight of those students without money to register. So we support the efforts of the Higher Education department, and all departments which are involved in bringing the stability to inst.
