00:00In the first year I got a helipad worth 20,000, now in the second year it is worth 40,000.
00:06If I get a share of 30,000, I will either leave the government or leave my family.
00:13So I say to you, this new bonding model, will it die or will we stand with it today?
00:19Today is today!
00:24Viva comrades, viva!
00:27I want us to give our 10 years, so that we hear from him, from her.
00:32Maybe the government has changed its mindset and disbanded the bandits.
00:36So we don't want this. And Mrs. Dean, this thing is terrible.
00:40My dad is only a teacher and my mom is a business lady.
00:43But do you know what? My sister has been kept in band 5, where those people are getting more than 100,000.
00:51You have laws, and I can even confirm with our administration, some of them are in Mandamano.
00:56Where will this loan come from? Where will this money come from?
00:59Does this government understand our plight? Does this government understand the pain of our parents?
01:04They went for loan when we were in high school, they went for loan when we were in university.
01:08Then this government is now again coming in with a new bonding model.
01:12They either disband the bands or we come for them.
01:15If they cannot come for their comrades, then we comrades, we are coming for them.
01:19It is good that all of us are actually feeling the pain.
01:25There are many ways of expressing our pain and this is one of your ways of expressing your pain
01:33and in solidarity with your sisters and brothers.
01:38I know it has been difficult for the students to accept the new funding model
01:46because of the many things that have happened.
01:49The government has been engaging the student leaders
01:55and we hope by what they said yesterday, there will be a reduction of the funds, I mean bands,
02:06and there will be a solution.
02:10So what I am just asking you is that if the strike has been called off,
02:19a small university, we are standing with our students because our students are our prime clients.
02:30You are the prime client, without your fees the university cannot continue functioning.
02:38And we are saying, since you know I am a Christian by nature and by faith,
02:45and you don't want to know that, it is always good for somebody to declare.
02:51And when somebody asks for forgiveness and time, we usually give them time.
02:59So the government has asked for 30 days.
03:03Those are 30 days.
