Some of the union’s demands at the time included clearance of historical debt for all students, an end to police brutality against protesting students, laptops for students, and the return to campus for students, as some have connectivity issues preventing them from online registration and attending online classes. Read in Daily Maverick: But last week, the union called off the shutdown, stating some of its demands had been met. Demands met included:
SAUS president Misheck Mugabe said the union works from a mandate of university SRCs. I can tell you, we met on 30 March, and we discussed developments regarding the shutdown.

There was a unanimous agreement from all the 26 universities SRCs to say let s call off the shutdown because all our students are now having access to universities.
