Pretoria - The management at Unisa is immature and failed to lead by example and was subsequently humbled by a court setting aside its decisions to limit first entry students and have one long semester for 2021, said SRC president Wadzanai Mazhetese.
This comes after the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, ruled in favour of the EFF student command and the Black Lawyers Association Student Chapter who took the university and the Minister of Higher Education Science and Technology Blade Nzimande to court over the two unfavourable decisions.
