Tshwane University of Technology students are set to return to campus after the university was closed in March this year due to COVID-19 outbreak in the country. Most students have been eager to return to their residences as they claim to study better there than being at home. Only seniors and first-year students are to return from the 26th of this month.
Zinhle Sibanyoni (22), a final-year journalism student at TUT said social distancing will be hard for some students since it is something new. “Staying at home makes me not see a brighter future for myself, I can work a lot better when I am my residence, there is peace there,” said Sibanyoni.
Nomathamsanqa Sikhana (24), a second-year Information Technology at TUT said that everyone is excited to be going back to their respective residences because they will all have their freedom. “Adhering to the regulations will not be easy for some students and going back to our residence is quite alarming, one may even get infected there,” said Sikhana.
19-year old Mamsi Nkosi who is also a TUT student doing her first year in journalism said she feels relieved to be returning to her residence after 5 months of staying at home because that way she will be able to study.
“Maintaining social distance and all will be very difficult, students will be too excited and visiting their friends in other rooms and that will increase the chances of spreading the virus among students
