In the past week, students from the University of Witwatersrand shut down the campus in protest over the exclusion of students who cannot afford to register for the new academic year and pay off debt.
Lungile Magagula, Wits University Student Forum Interim Chairperson said financial exclusion is not a valid reason to bar students from starting the new academic year.
Last week, students at Wits University were seen sleeping in public places due to delays in securing financial aid for accommodation.
The students are hoping that a mutual solution will come sooner rather than later.
