The students at Tshwane University of Technology see the risk of infection as well as other problems: “Everything in our curriculum is postponed until next year. This is our last year, so next year we will have to do a second year, it takes a long time to complete. ” “Everything has changed, even here on campus. We have to participate online, I’m not that good at it. It’s also a bit difficult, sometimes the lectures or assignments are missing and we can’t just get in touch with others and.” to discuss.” The government is trying to get as many people as possible to vaccinate. Vaccination is currently unpopular with young people in particular. Student parties and festivals are also set to be canceled after dozens tested positive for the coronavirus at a music festival on the coast.
