Tuks registration going smoothly, despite threats to shut varsity down
26 January 2017
Pretoria – Student registration at the University of Pretoria is steaming ahead, despite threats from the South African Union of Students (SAUS) to shut the institution down.
University spokesperson Candice Jooste said the process was going smoothly and that, by Thursday, approximately 25 000 students had already registered.
SAUS threatened to shut the institution down if the university continued to demand motivational letters from some students who took part in Fees Must Fall movement last year.
A number of students who took part in the protests last year have been requested to motivate why the university should allow them to register for the 2017 academic year.
