What Wits University students want - The Daily Vox


The Daily Vox
Dabula says they want the University to clear all student debt. 
“In previous meetings we asked that students who owe R150 000 be allowed to register. In previous years’ students who owed R120 000 were allowed to register. The new rule now is that only students who owe R10 000 or less were allowed to register. This doesn’t make sense with the type of unprecedented year we just had. We have the pandemic, parents lost their jobs, students being defunded by NSFAS because they claim they don’t have enough money. We have students who were defunded by their own bursaries because businesses did not make enough money. So with knowing that students are not able to pay their own fees we found ourselves on the verge of being financially excluded; all 8142 of us. This past Friday the Treasurer of the SRC had a meeting with the senior manager of finance at the university and we found out that 6338 students are yet to register, and these are also students on the verge of financial exclusion.”
