Karabo Natloga, from the student representative council , said university management was trying to silence the students by suspending them. “Our last resort has been the streets and we are going to remain here until the university and the government at large respond to the calls of the university SRC,” he said.“This afternoon we issued multiple suspension orders to disruptors who transgressed the university’s rules. The legal office will continue to work through the evidence submitted by the Wits community to ensure perpetrators who can be identified are charged,” the university said.
“During the course of the suspension processes and other investigations, we found some perpetrators who were committing infractions were academically excluded. Some had failed multiple times, had lost their funding and were demanding to be registered.”
