DA asks HRC to investigate EFF violations at Pretoria University
10 October 2023
The DA has lodged a complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) requesting an urgent investigation into the EFF Student Command’s recent attempts to bar certain students from the University of Pretoria (UP) campus.
We also call on the UP Interim Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Prof Themba Mosia, to urgently intervene regarding the seeming escalating racial tension at the institution.
Various social media platforms have raised concern that white students are denied entry onto campus at the university.
The EFF Student Command’s attempts are a contravention of the Constitution of South Africa in that no one may be discriminated against on the basis of race, together with the right to human dignity and freedom of movement and association.
