In the weeks leading up to the beginning of the academic year, the SRC has been dealing with what it refers to as a “housing crisis” at the university. It began when the Department of Student Housing withdrew residence offers from students who owed fees to the university – a move the SRC rejected and saw as exclusionary. Because of this, many students have been left unhoused and without meaningful solutions from the university.
“Since our last update the UCT SRC has assisted an additional 150+ students with interim accommodation pending their hindrances being cleared. We are currently engaging executive management on more sustainable and permanent arrangements and hope that these engagements will be as fruitful and beneficial for students as the last.
“I think the SRC’s stance is very good, it needs to be done. There are so many students that deserve a space. I definitely stand in solidarity with the SRC. I’m not sure what the long-term plan would look like in terms of lifting fee blocks permanently and how that would impact incoming students. However, currently, I think fee blocks should be lifted.
all these comments about students being destructive ,clearly y'all don't understand the pressures of being a disadvantage student. They preach equality and fairness, how are they demonstrating that whilst others cannot go to class due to our government's incompetence.
Holiday was still too short for them. Anything not to study
Ukudakwa ke loku. Our competent and we'll behaved kids can't get even get a space to study, mean whilst there are those (bottom of the barrel) who can only think about protesting instead of studying.
Go Woke, Go broke
Do they want an education, or not!
They're not there to learn, rather just to agitate so they have something to blame when they fail
No man. Send in the riot police:
